  • 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.

  • 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

  • Eddie Kramer gives his word on the plugins.

  • ill shit

  • @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.

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

  • @Autumn6

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

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

  • 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...

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

  • @Dejoblue

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