favourite TDM plugins? (non eq/comp/reverb)

[matt thomas]

hey slutz

what are your favourite TDM plugins? not counting EQ's and comps which I'll do out board. And don't worry about reverb either, I use altiverb, but I'm interested in what you think of pretty much all other plugs.

I'm just helping someone spec a high end studio. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

thanks

Well unfortunately there are not that many other TDM plug ins. There are tons of cool VSTs that do other things but there is really not a whole lot for TDM.

so far the owner has suggested waves platinum plus $4000 of others (unspecified)

I haven't yet asked him why he wants waves.

For delays and mods I was thinking psp
also psp for phase linear eq (eq!)
also the cransong for saturation
drumagog drum replacement
eventide collection, just because its eventide basically
obviously autotune, although waves tune looks good, but it is a pro studio so autotune is a given

The analog outboard they have is 40 channel vintage neve board 1176 la2 pultecs distressor gml blah blah, hence no need for eqs or comps.

For a pro studio, Waves is standard, so if your buddy is going to open sessions created by other pro studios, he will need Waves.

I consider these plugs mandatory: Serato Pitch N Time, VocAlign Pro, AutoTune 4, Drumagog and TL Master Meter.

I also love the McDsp, Sony and DUY plugs.

for now yes, but the old waves plugs that are the 'standard' suck and with the outragious cost of WUP and so many good plug-in manufactures around now waves are loosing groud. the pro sessions i see always have a few instances of waves plugs but overall it is a small compared to the number other plugs
no one knows what will happen in another 5years but i dont think waves will keep the 'statdard' status. i think sony and McDsp are much betetr options and will soon be as much of a 'standard' as waves, but then what do i know.
