It's a tough question to answer without knowing the Waves plugins/bundles that you are considering, but these are two of my favorite plugin developers, so I'll give you my perspective. Just wanted to see if you guys preferred comparable waves plugs, or the fabfilter stuff. I can get the total bundle, every plug fabfilter makes, for $900. Good luck, and thanks for bringing the FF stuff to my attention. I think I agree with some of the other folks who posted, FF first for everyday stuff, Waves (and others) for specific things. For most of my everyday, workhorse tasks they'd certainly be near the top of my list. So, shorter answer, after an admittedly short demo period I really like what I've seen so far on the FF stuff and may be buying shortly. The FF will not replace my hardware or some of my "character" compressors, but if I do buy it it would see lots of use. Even if you're just still trying to figure out stuff like "how does 2db of compression with a medium attack sound as compared to whatever other setting", being able to see what the compressor is doing and then correlating that with what you're hearing is very valuable. If you have any lingering questions about how compressors affect sound, the display will help tremendously. The functional dynamics control aspects of the FF are really very nice and the display that shows both the dynamics domain and time domain effects is really really good. The compressor: I am a bit of a compressor nerd.I own lots of plugs and a fair amount of hardware and I know my way around compression pretty well. I don't think I own any Waves products that do what the FF does, and while I'll still use the UAD Manley, Pultec and my hardware, if I do pick up the FF it will see a lot of use. The FF built-in analyzer is really cool in this regard, as is the control set.I really like the ability to easily bypass and solo bands and the shelves and filters are nice and functional. To my ears most of them sound pretty much the same (with very few notable exceptions) and the real difference is how quickly and easily I can get them to do what I want. Regarding the EQ, let me start by saying I'm not a big EQ guy. I've only demod the EQ and Compressor so far from FF, but I do own a bunch of other stuff.Waves, UAD, IKMM, PSP, and a bunch of hardware (UA, SSL, Empirical Labs etc). Again, completely optional and if you chose not to upgrade/update then your plugin works as well as it did the day you bought it.I figured I'd give you a quick comparative review since the original point of this thread was to compare the FF stuff and the Waves stuff. #Waves ssl bundle sale upgrade#The reality of it is that this crappy upgrade business model keeps them working and updating and improving things to tempt people into updating. #Waves ssl bundle sale free#I'd like to also have free lifetime updates however, it's just not the way this specific company works. People are just salty that they bought something and it doesn't get updated forever. #Waves ssl bundle sale Pc#Outside of a couple of plugins I own, which require connectivity every 30 days, I can use my physical ilok or USB device (for waves) to keep my licenses and my PC running forever so it doesn't have to be connected to the internet.Īlso, if a component in your current PC messes up it doesn't mean you are FORCED to upgrade to a new OS/platform/system entirely, you can just replace the ram/cpu/whatever and still rock the same system indefinitely. #Waves ssl bundle sale update#If you get dirt cheap plugins and then 10 years from now you have to rebuy plugins because you decided to update your PC (which you don't have to) then that's a personal choice.Īs it stands right now there are options to NOT be connected to the internet and still use your PC as a production station long after the end of the support date. Major OS updates are around a decade from release to the end of support.
