Who`s using the waves plugs?

[Toki987]

I got the waves native powerpack. It`s very different from the stuff I`ve been using but the presets seems to have been done extrmely well, although I`m quite unfamiliar with some of them for now.

I am. I am. Wha'choo need?

My can't live withouts -
For mastering:
L2, C4

For tracking:
Truverb, REQ4, RCL, C1, Q4

I suspect I would also include the RVerb, but it is such a resource hog, I end up not using it - even though I would like to at times.

[Toki987]

I tried the c1 on a couple of tracks, it does a great job on the presets. I still keep one foot wrapped around my Timeworks compressor though till I`m weaned. I haven`t swam too far from shore on the Trueverb yet, I'm still playing with the buttons, but it seems to be less of a cpu hog than the anwida.

The RCL is fantastic on vocals. Play with the Opto settings.

[Toki987]

I`ll try the rcl. I`ve never seen so many nice toys before..
THe ultramax is cool but Im hearing some kinda slight phase plange type thing going on in the highs. Whats that?



If found it. It was a chorus I had put on a piano, the high freq`s had been masked until i put the ultramax on it, they came back out clean.

What's the Ultramax? You mean the L1?

I absolutely loved that plug-in...... until I got ahold of the L2.

IMHO, you should only use it in a Mastering situation on a stereo mix. Don't know that it would serve any purpose other than that. I find it amazingly transparent, given what it can do.

Don't know about any phasing. Try maybe playing with the dithering choices. Could that be what you're hearing?

[Toki987]

I`m just playing with them now, but I understand what you mean about mastering the 2track. I wanted to see what it does sonically. I'll play around with the L1 and see whats up with it.
Damn, all this fun I could be having and I have to be at work........
