Plugin Recommendations
Hi folks,
I have an iTunes voucher burning a whole in my pocket and wondered what people would recommend as my next plugin(s)?
I have Pro-Q, Old Timer and Micro Warmer already, all of which have become pretty indispensable to me, so I figure I'll get use out of another
I record rock / pop / indie music, so no real need for plugins based at synth stuff. I was thinking of Pro-DS?

Re: Plugin Recommendations
Pro-DS is the one plug I wouldn't be without. Just wondering if the new multiband compressor can do the same thing?

Re: Plugin Recommendations
The new mutliband can do the same thing, you just have to set it up that way. Saturn and timeless are killer too. In fact, I'd recommend timeless, the stereo delay that is included is pretty limited. And Saturn could be set up as a de-esser as well, although not quite as flexible.
Re: Plugin Recommendations
I'm curious about what you most use this for. I admit I am not a big de-esser user, even on my desktop system and am genuinely curious as why this would be more important than say a limiter of compressor plug.Erik dP wrote:Pro-DS is the one plug I wouldn't be without. ?

Re: Plugin Recommendations
...Well there are limiter and compressor within the basic Auria plugin collection. So from that I ranked the de-esser highest amongst the add on plugs.
I use the de-esser for what it is intended for: geting rid of some sharp s-sounds that othervice would be hard to target either by eq, compressor, or cut-n-edit.
But including all plugs in a list I guess some kind of echo would be a on top of the list. De-esser usage is time saving.
(I do have most of the add-ons. The FabFilter Limiter is nice.)

Re: Plugin Recommendations
OK, so here goes the question that proves my ignorance...
What is an echo for? I understand what it does, and I use delay a lot with my guitar playing, but when / why / how would you use one instead of a reverb?

Re: Plugin Recommendations
Reverb can muddy up a mix very quickly if used heavily. Delay can create strong feelings of space without the mud. It obviously depends on the genre, the song and the instrument, but often I'll just use the reverb to only add subtle ambience and depend on the delay to add the big space.
Re: Plugin Recommendations
Cheers. I guess I'll give it a go
By coincidence, echo / delay was mentioned in a fun video I saw on YouTube of Andy Johns talking about sound engineering. It's a promo for drum samples, so leans in that direction, but he covers lots of engineering tips. Reminds me of the roadie from Spinal Tap
Thanks for the advice.
