Everyone is pretty on point here... I'll just add something. I generally use Waves Q10 for EQ. I can instantiate one plug, and use as many bands as needed, or as few as needed, with plenty there to add as I go, again, if needed. Handy to have a plug that operates that way.... lots do I avoid...

If you haven't seen these.... Avid Pro Audio Community - View Single Post - Waves DLS DiGiGrid DLS | Hardware | Waves Super Super sick, fully scalable...... I'm super stoked to start working with mine (On it's way) Really digging the concept of a separate dedicated DSP Server ...... and the...

I just mentioned this in reference to a Leslie sim elsewhere not long ago, but I'll say it again - Waves MondoMod works great, and very simple/intuitive interface. Does the job exactly as needed..... Waves GTR Chorus also does a Leslie type thing

There are tons of free plugs out there..... Some work well, others not so much. Some are stable, some will crash your entire rig. To me, it's well worth investing in good plugs and having support from the manufacturer as well.. Waves plugs are GREAT.... if you are in doubt, they have full...

I've done this with Pro Tools HD Native and my HD I/O 16, and also PTHD with a 002R - all via inserts on the analog console, stabbed to my I/O It works pretty well.... On another note, if you aren't familiar, Waves makes MultiRack - which is specifically designed for this purpose, and is a bit...

I'm sure it's been mentioned, but you should always start with a good mix, bounced with mastering in mind. Every mix I finish, I use WLM Plus on the final insert of my master, to monitor the overall loudness of the mix, and where my peaks are. There is also an intersample peak aware limiter in...

MY OPINION: For someone just starting out, I'd start with Logic, and then grab some Waves plugins (Stellar quality). Reason being, to me the quality of plugins is very important - perhaps more important than the DAW - IF YOU ARE STARTING OUT (Also, bang for the buck, especially for production...

Waves stuff is great and worth every penny. They also just combined Native and Sound Grid licenses, or rather, did away with the difference in favor of a unified license that provides you with either - SG if you are running capable hardware, or Native if not. Licensing is simple. Create a...

Another great thing I rarely see mentioned about Waves Tune You can control your DAW transport from within the Waves Tune edit window.... this is a GREAT feature and makes working with it very convenient, especially when editing long portions of material.

Like mentioned, you may want to watch out for phase issues ... When I'm doing a lot of HPF in a session I'm using Waves Linear Phase EQ rather than say the Q10 or others, in order to keep things coherent. I'll also use the Linear Phase EQ when I'm working with paired mics, like Top and...

+1... I'm surprised how infrequently Waves Tune comes up regarding pitch correction. Very very versatile... Even the Light version is powerful. One thing I really like about it is that is syncs with your session and you can control transport from within it's editor window.... this is very handy...

by the way, Waves Tune (Even Waves Tune LT, the light version) is RAD and will handle your 'autotune' needs

There are LOADS of free plugins out there in AAX for Pro Tools. Here are some: Free Pro Tools Plug Ins - There are others that aren't listed there also.... That said.... in many cases you get what you pay for. Sure, there are good free plugs, but sometimes support is lacking, or non existent...

When I need something more aggressive than a compressor for ducking, I go to the Sidechaining the Waves C1 This gives more control than just a standard sidechained compressor setup - with the open/close attack/release and hold settings Also, the C1 has a 'floor'. You can set the floor to keep...

Lol... correct you are.... I was thinking Ardour (minimum $1 donation), not Reaper... was on my way out as I posted. appologies. As far as the rest. my opinion. to each their own

I've done this with Waves Doubler many times. You can 'detune' +/- pitch, set stereo position, delay, and modulation, all in one plug. You can toggle the original on or off, and add as many as 4 'doubles' Because of the delay, and modulation, you can get it very natural sounding. If you are on...

Honestly, I would skip the PC and go straight to a secondhand Mac Pro 4,1 or 5,1 . You can get one in budget. I would do this even if it eats your entire budget. Then, if needed, run a Free DAW like REAPER until you can afford Logic or Pro Tools. Then, (Before a DAW purchase), get yourself a...

To be fair, the Waves L series limiters are some of the most 'transparent' out there. I use the L3's all the time.... Check out the L3-16 Multimaximizer. That joker is rad. I use it in mastering. Absolutely killer plug. L3-16 Multimaximizer Multiband Mastering Plugin | Waves Also, as far as...

Like what was said, you can stack takes of vocals to thicken things up, but there are other ways as well... rather than stacking a dozen vocals, you could stack say 4, and then use something like Waves Reel ADT or Waves Doubler on them, that duplicates takes. Reel ADT, Artificial Double...

Also, in Pro Tools, you'd set up Hardware Inserts. You just need to ensure that the same Input and Output channels are used per insert channel So, EQ Left for instance would be eg. Channel 13 out, and channel 13 in. EQ Right could be Channel 14 out and channel 14 in. You can also offset...
