I intend to use it on some sounds from the past (sampled from my Kawai K4 maybe) which lack movement. It’s a fun plugin which makes sounds move in space. On, I took the plunge and got Brauer Motion, a circular stereo auto-panner designed with Michael Brauer who mixes Coldplay. A dynamic EQ is similar to a multiband compressor but it is much easier to use. With a dynamic EQ, the cut will be made when the cymbal is really loud (and this happens only momentarily). If a normal EQ is used, then high frequencies will be cut throughout.


One example of use is when trying to EQ a harsh cymbal. A dynamic EQ is an EQ where cut or boost are made only if a signal crosses a certain threshold. I’m done.Īm I? Two days later, on, I got the F6 Floating-Band Dynamic EQ on Waves website at $21.75. On , I finally bought the L2 Ultramaximizer on the Waves website at $29.00. I used it to tame a bassline (albeit with Bass Rider before it) and the resulting sound was amazingly good. The only plugin I intend to buy now is the L2 Ultramaximizer. But I only had to use the Omni Channel once to realise how good it was. After all, I already own a compressor and an EQ. I had no intention to get a channel strip. Both costs $29 but more like $25.38 with the discount on Waves’ website. On, I got the Vitamin Sonic Enhancer and took the plunge for the Scheps Omni Channel. It is transparent and makes voices twice better. I have used it only once since to tune Anya’s and Kyan’s voices while they were singing Where’s the Revolution by Depeche Mode and it is a fantastic plugin. On after reading a lot, I bought Waves Tune at $24.36 on Plugin Discounts. Each cost $29 but with the Waves discount for the 2nd plugin it was more like $25.38 each. On, I got Bass Rider and the SSL G-Master Buss Compressor (which I didn’t intend to buy but which is excellent to glue a mix) on Waves’ website. It was slightly cheaper on Plugin Discounts but, for some reason, my credit card was not working there. On , I got Vocal Rider at $29 on Waves’ website. On, I got Center at $24.36 on Plugin Discounts. Right now, it is available at $69 which is too much.Īs for Vocal and Bass Rider, I can wait as I am not recording vocals or bass these days. Right now, I am quite far from making final mixes or mastering so I can wait a bit for the L2 to become available, either on Waves’ website or at Plugin Discounts, at $29. What remains now is the L2 Ultramaximizer which I use on my main bus to make sure that there is no clipping. The bundle cost me $72.07 which means that each individual plugin is less then $29 and the discount is a staggering 92%.

I got the Waves WLM Plus Loudness Meter at $24.36 (94% discount, which is amazing!), the Waves Dorrough Stereo Meter at $32.76 (which is more than $29 I know but which I had to get in my first Waves purchase ever because I am so reliant on it when mixing, 84% discount) and the Waves H-Series consisting of H-Reverb, H-Delay, H-EQ and H-Comp. I take the decision to always use such websites in the future and to only buy plugins if they are less or equal to $29 each.

On 19 June 2018, I finally discover that a lot of people buy Waves plugins from Plugin Discounts which offers some of the best deals on the planet. There is now a phenomenal discount of $1807.75 off the regular price. On 29 November 2017, I found out about the massive Cyber Monday Deal, still on Waves’ website: This is a massive 80% discount!!! But it is still a bit expensive for me. My favoured 9 plugins would today cost $420.05 (Rs 14,865) instead of $2131 (regular price). On 19 April 2017, I discover this incredible deal there. Unfortunately, buying them would cost me $2,131 which is waaaaayyyyy too expensive.įortunately, Waves regularly offer deals on its website. In my previous Bundles of Waves plugins post, I wrote that, even though I have tried a number of Waves audio plugins over the years, I have 9 favourites:
