If you could only buy a couple of RTAS plugs.....
I just upgraded my computer and had been holding off buying any plug ins, but now I am ready to get a couple. Right now the only things I have are the standard pro tools 8 plugs and the joe meek compressor and EQ. I am going to get the Massey tape delay and limiter. I'd like to get another EQ and Compressor. Would love to hear some recommendations as I have not had the oppurtunity to try a bunch.
Thanks
Thanks

If you want so cool free plug in's check these out!

Click on Demos and you can download the Universal Binaries for PT7 & Higher (if you're running pt7 or
The tape head plug-in is awesome for making fuzz bass or overdriving a clean guitar or vocal. Aslo sounds great to add a bit of "warmth" to when used more subtlely. Great eq and compressor too. If you really like them you can buy the full versions at decent prices too.
Someone just sent this my way:

Cool input meter with phase switching and trim. Works great to make sure you're not clipping the AD convetors since PT doesn't have markins on thier meters!
Now if I had the cash I'd buy the UAD plug-ins. But I'd have to buy a new computer too...as I'm running an iMac. no place to put the hardware! Someday I'll upgrade. Check out the promo they are running:
http://www.uaudio.com/promo/
Depending on what card you buy there are also some free downloads like the Pultec EQP-1A, 1176SE, and the RealVerb Pro. My friend has has the UAD-2 card and it runs perfect on his g-5.
EDIT: oh you already mentioned the massey pug-ins. duh.

I'd recommend the McDSP Project Studio Bundle. These plugs are LE versions of the main plugins. They are somewhat feature limited compared to the full price versions. However, I find them to be incredibly useful and well worth the relatively small investment. You should be able to pick it up for a little under $200.

god I hope so....maybe a small outboard unit w/ firewire or something. I'd buy it.weatherbox wrote:Definitely check out the Massey compressor. It's awesome; probably use it more than any other software compressor. The URS EQs are pretty decent. I'd imagine there'll be a laptop/mobile/imac compatible version of the UAD2 before too long.
