[vejichan]

which in app auria stuff is essential or great to have for rock/metal music?
I'm planning on buying some and I don't want to end up buying something i really don't need.

I highly recommend you go to the sites and read up on all the features each one has to offer. You will learn a lot more by reading their feature list or watching some of the youtube/tutorial videos.

Having said that...
I must say that the drum loops are of least use for me as I am a drummer and there just isn't enough variety in the packages to be very useful. They are also way too compressed for my taste.

For metal and rock, Pro-Q and one of the compressors will be of most benefit to you.

If you like reverbs, get all of the convolution reverb packs. Some of those make you feel like you are sitting in the room with the band.

I would highly recommend MicroWarmer, it really adds some grunt to guitar parts when you turn up the drive. ProQ is fairly essential aswell IMO.

The Pro Q is a must have

Hey vejichan

My thoughts on this are that the same plugins are important regardless of the genre of music you're making. Whether metal, rock, country or blues, you're going to need:
1. A decent EQ (like proQ )
2. Compressor - built in is fine but proC is better
3. Saturation - microwarmer or Saturn
4. Delay - built in is fine
5. Reverb - classic verb pro or built in convolution
6. Limiter - built in is fine for starters

Anything else is icing (still icing can be important sometimes )

The difference between a country song and metal track has more to do with what's actually recorded and how you use these plugins. Eg. A country guitar amp with a bright EQ vs a metal amp with a scooped EQ

Hope this helps
