They got me...I just signed up for the group buy to get that vintage studio bundle. I was looking for a bunch of plugs for my laptop that wouldn't have to use a dongle...these should do the job...especially at that price!

Man, we need AU version of these or at least an Rtas to AU converter! Please!

Reverence! Lexicon 200 plate...and it's cheap!

And, of course, one should always send data files on CD-R, not audio discs, to mastering. Data files have error correction. Audio CDs don't, when it comes to the actual audio data.

Can you talk about this a little more. You burn a data cd in jam?

Thanks.

they're not pro tools only at all. vintage warmer, waves crap, ohmforce, mda, voxengo...

Sorry, i meant the massey ones. There are some good recommendations in that thread though.

Those are Pro Tools only...he is using DP and Traction.

Check out the demos here of the eq and compressor: http://www.sonalksis.com/ Sonalksis stuff is really high quality. And like I said, check out the manufacturs of those free plugins i listed above...they usually have demos too. I say try before you buy is your best bet. i personally don't like waves...

What he said! There's one more though that's a must have and probably isn't on dontcrack yet...that's Voxengo's new Overtone GEQ. AMAZING freebie. It's a 7-band stereo graphic EQ with some kind of harmonic distortion going on...the bands are fixed. It is so wonderful on drums you could just pee you...

planet pretty well nailed it. I'll add a few: SiR and/or Smex Ambiance. I also love Tape Delay (can't remember who makes it but it's a fantastic dub box that will self-oscillate exceptionally) and analog delay from mdsp http://mdsp.smartelectronix.com/classic/2005/01/analog-delay.php If you're into...

Free Plugins everyone should have: DigitalFishPhones - Blockfish, Spitfish (compressor with distortion, de esser_ Camel Audio - Camelcrusher (drum smasher...compressor, distortion, filter) TriTone Digital - Colortone, Phasetone (impulse responses of analogue gear to run your digital tracks through.....

echo audiofire 2.

I don't know what price range you're looking in, but those rme converters that were also labeled as "nuendo" for a while are pretty nice for the price right now. Also, Ramsa has some options and I think the Alesis AI3 would be pretty cheap right now.

It's a shame that you don't have a mac...garageband would be perfect.

I just got an echo audiofire 2 and it's sounds amazing...I think i'm going to invest in a couple of AF12's after this experience.

I love the fact that it's high quality and no frills...and the thing is tiny.

I highly recommend it, especially for your purposes.
