I'm not suggesting any spoon-feeding, but I'd be interested to hear how YOU have applied plug-ins in lieu of hardware when it was necessary (or requested). |
Sure, I use plugins like the URS Saturation and Soundtoys Decapitator when appropriate. They will not give you the benefits of a good or great analog preamp, though. What they can do, is add some of the character aspects of certain analog hardware (to a degree).
But, I'm also not afraid to come out and use the real thing on soft synths, etc when needed.
