Did you just spend $4200 on a TDM bundle without demo'ing them first?!?

Not defending, but people do buy things without demo'ing them just because of the reputation they have. And maybe he didn't buy the TDM version.
But yes, he should read his manual.....if he has one.

I have the Waves Gold Bundle and there is a lot of piss poor, useless plugins in this bundle... There are a few excellent ones too.
lol..........I appreciate everyone's concern for my purchasing habits....lol. What a kind and generous bunch you are. To answer your questions, I indeed demoed the Platinum Bundle before I bought it but I don't think my handful of hours messing with it at a semi-pro level can compare with the knowledge that a professional that uses it on a regular basis possesses. Call me crazy.

Yeah, man I feel bad. The quality of my recording knowledge does not match the quality of my gear, but I'm trying to change that. I'm just a musician who's recently been given a very good recording rig and I think I would be a jackass if I didn't try and take advantage of the opportunity by learning everything I can, which is why I'm here.

You must know some very generous folks to have someone give you the Waves Platinum Bundle... LOL
I've got the Masters Bundle with the LinEQ, multiband and L2, all of which are in your Platinum bundle also. They're indispensable to me, and I use one or all on most things I do.
The things they do best for me:
The LinEQ's low freq filter does something really nice to the sound just by being turned on, whether boosting or cutting, and whether in bell or shelf mode. I never use more than 2-3 dB change. The bell filters in the upper part of the EQ can be really useful for notch use but I don't like their sound much otherwise. The high shelves (two types) both can sound good when cutting.
The Lin multiband is fantastic for taming overly active dynamics in the low end and low mids. I use it very gently and to my ear it works without doing anything bad to the sound. Setting the crossover points is everything though.
The L2 is kind of failsafe. As long as I don't ask it to do more than 2-3 dB of gain reduction, it also doesn't do anything bad to the sound, just controls the level.
