I'm tempted but I think I'm stopping there for reverbs.

I wasn't really a fan of the idea of the Abbey Road chamber room. Just conceptually, old-school reverb chambers are basically the one room they could discard, often square walls covered in tile, with some things thrown in there to try to make it sound less horrible, because reverb software hadn't been invented yet and studios needed some sort of reverb to throw at things. So I'm not sure I even want that sound in my arsenal considering all my other choices.

The plates plugin is great, but between all the my other options I already have plates I like for vocals and drums, and I recently invested in Nectar that comes specifically with EMT 140 that sounds good and it's easy to dial in.

Re: H-Verb
Struggling to get along with the detailed settings, but the basic sound of the thing is undeniably rich. An entirely different level of quality to something like TrueVerb. A bit annoyed at the CPU hunger, but I think it's probably going to become my go-to room for the entire mix.

Looks like the nominal price has been raised to $29.99.
And + 99¢ elsewhere.
Is materialism devouring your musical output? :ud:

If I read the phrase "you're doing it wrong" in this thread one more time... :dog:

This may be true. But on the other hand ”poor implementations” become sometimes a desirable standard. French Ludvig XIV, ”Le Roi Soleil” (1643-1715) created many new fashion by accident, e.g. by putting on the jacket inside out in his morning hungover.
The whole court imitated this style in the following morning.

Depends on what's inside the jacket, i guess.

But, nah, i probably wouldn't do it as well. I'm much too ordinary to be a hipster. :P

Yep. I've worked the math six ways to Sunday for every Waves plugin I own. It's just not possible to resell these plugins and make any sort of money back. If WUP needs to be renewed, then it's basically selling the plugin at $0 to negative money plus buying a new, phantom, Waves plugin.

Waves is having quite a crooked scheme to have their plugins always on sale and then request 5% of "regular" price

Another way of putting it: when selling a Waves plugin, you're basically paying a price to get rid of it as opposed to just keeping it.
