We like some of these plugins! Why? Simple we have also seen and heard some really bad examples of the sam that someone has spent way to much money on!
Now some of us talk on a regularl basis to people who still work in highend rooms on a day to day basis, guess what alot of these guys reach for the plugin! Why because they know exactly what it will do! (How many times have you reached for that old neve module or clone thinking perfect than fought with it because it jut won't do what a 108 is supposed to do?)
Now I use plugins for a couple of simple reasons
1 I and my clients can't afford the real deal yeah I know people at API/ATI/Arsenal, Yeah I own a couple of 560s which I think are a bargain but I can't afford 16 plus a bunch of 550s and comps, but for the price of one 560 I can get the bundle whic comes pretty freakin close!, Yeah I could print tracks 2 at a time thorough my 560s but my clients cant afford the time!
My clients are a simple mixture of non-for profits and guys who got suckered in to thinking tey could record and mix them selves by the GCs of this world (stuff still comes in on ADAT and DA88)!
2 I have a kid yeah that eats the gear budget and multiplies the repair budget cuts the time and makes recall the Holy grail!
So learn to think before you spout something so arrogant and stupid!
