Just recently Martsman sent me a tune which he can't finish atm (writer's block bla bla) and so he asked me to do it.

It's FULL of Waves Q-EQs and it sounds Homerdrool

Grin


did you mean the waves "Q-Clone" EQ's ?! or is this another EQ u are talking about ?!

Roll
^ no, the old Q1-10 EQs
i reckon those old q eqs are great to b honest ive no choice cos i cant offord to buy any new ones Lol there certainly better than the newest ssl eq plugs in my opinion which i found ive ended up just always replacing with the old qs whenever ive used them in a song................................man i need some of these uad plugs tho are they really as good as ppl say????

aaaah, this thread is going all wrong Baffled

the Q eqs are a bag of shite compared to the SSL, really.

For me the Waves plug-in I use most is definitely the Trans-X (multi) Homerdrool
really u think the ssls are better i was pissed off i spent my cash on the ssl 4000 bundle, when pretty much everything in the bundle i dont use and end up using old renaisance plugs or whatever....suppose this is just me tho..............ill second the trans x being great aswell

Icon_eek why man?

try the ssl stuff some more, it's Lovesmilie
I even sometimes run signals through the channel without doing anything to them Lol
yeh im gonna have to test them a bit more i think ...u mean run stuff throo th eq flat?? or run them throo the ssl channel flat???

ssl channel or comp Xyxthumbs but most of the time i actually do use them Hahaha
ok cheers man....i really dont like the comp tho mainly because it hasnt got a slidin release time but im gomnna experiment with the eq and the channel Grin
trans x is another plug in that gets much kudos but I haven't got round to trying out.

Can I ask,exactly what is it for???

Baffled

also dj fada- u need to try again with the ssl & keep in mind u don't need 2 wack the controls up huge amounts for it to do it's job....think subtle!

I only have certain controls boosted/cut by 0.45 on average & it makes a world of difference (in a good way)

I really couldn't live without the ssl's when it comes to mixing down songs in cubase...I really couldn't.

yeh i have had a little play around with them this evenin and gotta say im changin my mind on them
btw- i luv the comp...it seems 2 have that punchy ssl sound that ppl pay big money for...ok in a a/b comparison with an actual ssl desk it probably would fail miserably but in my pc it sounds good when compared to other plugins.

there should be a martsbot smilie Yes
I like the SSL comp, but in side by side tests the UAD Neve shits all over it, lets it dry out in the sun, burns it, then pisses over it to put the flames out.
