Stubsound:
 
While I completely agree that most of McDsp’s plugs sound really good, I  don’t think that AC1 sounds like any high end desk I have worked on, SSL, Trident, Neve, etc. Furthermore, IMHO, AC2 does not impart the sound of analog tape.
 
I love the compressor and filter plugs though. They sound great.
 
I totaly agree that usung the right tool for the job should be key. I still love my other Waves plugs.
 
Cheers.
