PT users be counted! Your "must have" list of plugins.

cajonezzz · 15th April 2004, 10:18 PM

I'm gonna try like hell to move to osx and PT6.xx during some down time at the end of this month.
I'm getting my ducks in a row as far as updates and authorizations for the Plugs we own and use often so that the transition will be smooth, hopefully over a few days.

I've had to in the interest of $$$ really try and pare down to the essential plugs (what we rely on day to day) what it is I will choose to keep and update.

that list so far:
Waves Gold (and REN)....(add the Transform bundle)
McDsp compressor and filter bank (never used the other stuff but can imagine it kiks ass as well)

Sound Replacer

Bomb Factory

Auto Tune

Speed (wave mechanics)

Serato Pitch n Time

Echo Farm

Amp Farm

TC master X (not sure about this)

channel strip (not sure )

and, I'd like to be able to accomadate vixsiting engineers with any other special needs stuff as well....so specifics there would be helpful.

I understand the Sony stuff is well liked by some, I wasn't blown away (pretty happy with the mc dsp) but I'd be willing to try.

I was also told that digi may be implementing a plugin "rental" acct for iloc accts. Anyone heard this? Sounds like a great idea to me.

thanks guys and gals.

Waylon · 15th April 2004, 11:06 PM

Essentials:

Filterbank

Compressorbank

Wouldn't bother with:

TL Space
RenComp
Enigma
Izotope Suite
Echo Farm

Kontakt (if I cant keep Giga too, then I'll just take time to translate it all to Kontakt

)
Any one of the other NI synths, or Virus Indigo TDM; they all pretty much make me smile

I vote for Sony Oxford plug-ins and the Cranesong Phoenix. This and some of the SoundToys stuff is the reason to use a HD system!

jeronimo · 17th April 2004, 05:02 PM

all i know is that if you're running Altiverb on a G4 you're not running much else!

Not exactly what I was asking. But thanks anyways...

hammer · 19th April 2004, 01:06 AM

(Donning flame suit)
I'm gonna vote for Sampletank

-For quick sketches, and getting ideas down, writing jingles....It's so damn usefull! With the onboard effects and filters you can get some really neat sounds.

It aint no kontact or gigasampler, but when time is of the essence.....(Always!!) It REALLY helps me out.
