Eddie Kramer gives his word on the plugins.

ill shit

[LastDayStudios]

thats just toooooooooooooo CLOSE to the original thats its scary!!!! Waves did an impeccable Job on this plugin!!!

[experiment0003]

@LastDayStudios the hardware has a thwack to it... a thump that hard to get with software... but is it worth thousands of dollars more? NO! The softwares are just that close and very usable.

[bheceo]

Yeah the eddie Kramer Collection is what ive been using on waves to Mix my recent songs

[nuvoicerecodings]

I mixed and mastered this project with vintage plug-ins like the Model 670 Compressor and Tube-Tech style Pultec EQ. Check it out this video out!

Personally, I've never been a fan of the API 2500. I remember when I was introduced to this particular piece of equipment back in 2002 and I hated the way it sounded. It's always sounded too harsh to me. Therefore, I don't like the Waves API 2500 either because it sounds almost exactly like it...

@Autumn6

Im with you on that - its like an Exciter is hiding in the Sound and you cant get rid of it...

what will our descendants say once humans evolve to dog-hearing? 

[Osteele]

I wish they hadnt talked so much during the comparison. Mr. Kramer spoke up right on the first hit of the kick drum affirming its accuracy. The drum didnt even decay before he spoke. I am not doubting his ear, but his affirmation seemed a bit hasty. It didnt give me any chance to hear the comparison. Its important to me because I am really trying to decide between this package or a few pieces of SSL outboard eq. I really do trust him. I love his work. Actually a hero for me.

@TheProgmagog thers no way we could tell accurately listening to this you tube video, bearing in mind also that its filmed and were hearing it recorded in that room, not directly... and if you watch the video again, he is already listening to the other before they flip it a further two times, it is the very last flip which your referring to where he cuts it off, he already heard it, so i wouldn't judge it too much, and this is Eddie Kramer, you can trust his ear!

[TheProgmagog]

can anyone tell me approximately how many eq modules can open on a single HD dsp chip? Ball park only. Thanks!

[Dejoblue]

The thing to remember is that with this vintage gear, two pieces sound different, so the slight difference the plugin has isn't really a consideration.

If you actually own a piece of hardware gear then you may not get exactly the same sound but if you don't then you can buy the plug in for far less and have the sound of the hardware within that natural variable that is inherently present.

@Dejoblue

You're exactly right. I was going to say something along these lines but you've done it.

[glict]

I love the V and API plugins. I use the SSL too. But I use the SSL more when I'm tryin to get a specific sound outta the mix

[griploc1981]

same here(ssl),API sounds great on everything, realy glues the mix together, only thing that i dont like about the API eq's is they thin out a mix

[Lgw1984]

@glict I use V-Series for vocals, API and SSL for drums

[NemanjaRistic]

haha ,spaceship.....

[Jhryanii]

Would yall prefer the API bundle or V series

[HLordz301]

V series plugins are the best...especially the EQ...best investment, that and the SSL plugins...trust

[timebomb15]

My friend assisted on one of his sessions. Really pro guy. No bullshit.

[jaymitch23]

one had a little more thump and warm analog sound but compression can take care of that..

[naaapster]

Waves plugins make me horneeeey

[ThePrimary]

they r efficient plugz
