Is the UAD plugs better than Waves? They are cheaper though right?

The UAD plugs, in my opinion, are better than waves for almost anything. They are cheaper than waves, but not by much. The only thing is you can start off small, and build up the UAD plugins one by one.

It also takes the load off your cpu - although you really just have a set-up issue . Your system should be able to work fine.
 
Thanks NL5...any idea how much I need to spend in order to get the UAD card and plugins? Are the plugins seperate or does the card come with some?

Both. The starter card is around $350 I believe and comes with a bunch of stock plugs. I bought a Flexi pack for $700 and you get a coupon to buy $500 worth of plugs at the UAD store. Do a search, there are tons of fans of all the pay-for plugs. My favs are the 1073 and the 1176 - love the transformer emulation......

So for example, if I wanted tracks 1 and 2 to have Reverb, do I just assign a send for each track to the FX Reverb? What output should I choose for the FX reverb? Bus 1?

And also, If i wanted to EQ the reverb, do i open up the track mixer for the FX channel and fix the EQ there? thanks....

Yeah just send (how much you want) each channel to the reverb FX chanel. Set the reverb to 100% and control by how much you send each channel to the FX channel. OUtput should be your stereo master out. It should be set to that default. Not sure about built in EQ for FX cahnnels, but if there isnt then instead of creating an FX channel, create a buss channel.
Then you can add a reverb and an EQ to the bus. PLus this way you get to choose the signal path. ie EQ-verb or verb -EQ

Oops I just noticed, and FX channel can handle asmany plug ins as an audio channel, so no need for a bus channel. They are the same thing petty much anyway.

How does a FX channel contain many plugins?

The same way audio tracks do. Set your view to "inserts" and look at the FX tracks. You can add plugins to it just like a regular track.
 
AVOX absolutely eats CPU resources. I downloaded the demo a while ago and found it unimpressive and hugely processor-intensive.
 
Oh ok. So I just add inserts to the FX channel like audio tracks...
 
You can also save some resources by sending some of those (like) tracks to a group and using your compression/limiting there.
 
What if i create a bus for vocals and set the inserts there? Would it be much more effective and less cpu extensive than to create FX channels or group channels?
