Ok, so if you could choose between buying a new motherboard and CPU(Dual Core) and some Voxengo Plug ins, or Waves Platinum, which would you choose?

I have tried out some of the Voxengo plugins on demo, and they are pretty good. The CurveEQ is one I really like... Elephant is probably the best loudness maximizer I have tried too... Better than Izotope Ozone's and probably better than the T-Racks soft clipper...

I havn't had a chance to try any Waves plug ins so I'm really not sure what to expect except a high price tag. Does anybody know if you can demo their plug ins?

Right now I have Cubase SX 3, T-Racks, Izotope Ozone, DFHS, Battery, DFH1, Sonik Synth 2, SampleTank 2XL... So, I'm really only looking to pick up one more bundle here since I have a bunch of stuff already. Also, if anybody is interested in Ozone, Battery, DFH1, I will be selling them pending emails with the companies getting approval to transfer ownership. O, Possibly T-Racks also, depending what I pick up for plug ins.
 
Yea, I looked at that and also the on TC puts out, but I don't want to lock my plug ins to a particular hardware unit like that. I have heard that the UAD plug ins are top notch though.
 
Go for what you need. Do you need an upgrade? It looks like you can get buy without more software for awhile.
 
Thing is, I like the plug ins I have now. Cubase SX 3 came with some good ones right from the start. T-Racks is good, and can be used as a mastering suite or seperate plug ins. Ozone can only be used as a suite, and is decent... Personally I prefer the plug ins with T-Racks over Ozone.

Basically I'm looking on an opinion here, between the Waves stuff and the Voxengo stuff... The bonus about the Voxengo stuff is that I would also be able to affoard a comp upgrade here soon.
 
My point was that, if you go with a UAD-1, you will ...
a) ease the load on your computer
and
b) find that you now have a new suite of plugs that you like the most

However, out of your two choices of options, I would elect for the upgrade and Voxengo.
Then I would still save up for a UAD-1. :D
 
So basically, UAD over Everything. Voxengo over Waves? I could probably go without the computer upgrade for now, until the AMD X2 chips come down in price at least. I really don't have too much of an issue doing freezes on tracks here and there.

So basically, I'm down to Waves Platinum or Voxengo Curve EQ, HarmoniEQ, Elephant, Voxformer, and Warmifier. Maybe a couple more. Does Waves let you demo their stuff?
