Hi all. Here's my situation. Right now I have Pro Tools Free and Cool Edit Pro 1.1 for tracking on my PC. Both are doing fine right now, but neither has reverb -- in fact, from what I understand, CEP 1.1 doesn't work with real-time effects at all.
So here's what I can do:
* switch my system over to a Digi 001 Factory. It has Digi's D-Verb and Maxim (peak limiter), as well as Bomb Factory's 1176 and LA-2A compressors, which got good marks in recording rags.
* keep my current sound card (Echo Gina) and upgrade to CEP 2.0 OR get another software combo to get the plugs I need.
I don't really need more inputs, so the Gina is fine in that respect. And I'm pretty comfortable getting around in PT, less so in CEP, but hey, I can learn. Some brain cells are still left.
So my question is for people who have used more than one of the following:
* Digi D-Verb RTAS
* Sound Forge's Acoustic Mirror (comes only w/ SF)
* CEP 2.0's house reverb
* Timeworks ReverbX or 408L
* Sonar's house 'verb
At last, the question: which reverb of those do you like best? Any comments on the EQs and compressors in SF, CEP, Sonar?
Anyway, thanks for sticking with me on the lengthy question and for your input.
