O.K. guys heres some links to what I think are KICK ASS plug-ins you can use to turn your tracks into FIRE BREATHING EAR SMASHERS! Some low-priced….some $$$!

http://www.pspaudioware.com! One of the best low priced plug-ins youll ever buy! Great on just about anything. Also check out PSPs mix pack. Another GREAT plug-in package, the satuator will make your kicks THUMP and your toms massive!!!

http://izotope.com/products/audio/ozone/
Great for your mastering. Its like having 7 plug-ins in one!

http://bbesound.com/products/maxim/newplugin.asp Yep, its a plug-in too! Awesome for turning your kick into a Metal Monster. Ever heard Kataklysm or just about any Death Metal bands kicks? With this plug-in you can get that Thump/Click sound! Also works great on practically everything…even Vocals!

http://elementalaudio.com/Elemental Audio. Really transparent plug-ins here. Theyre good, they wont add colour….quite transparent and quite inexpensive!
And at least get their http://elementalaudio.com/products/inspector/index.html
plug-in. Its FREE and a must have for everyone.

http://mhlabs.com/metric_halo/products/channelstrip/. Alot of guys call this plug-in the SSL in a box! It sounds AWESOME on drum tracks- sub mix tracks!!!!!

http://www.sonalksis.com/. These are some Incredible sounding plug-ins. Yes, theyre $$$, but worth it. Try their 30-day FULL demos! The demos work perfect, no bleeps or restrictions for 30-days! I dont know what these guys programmed into their plug-ins, but to me theyre BAD ASS!

Theres waay way more out there. Some PC only ((Voxengo…but coming to Mac this year!)) and some Mac only or RTAS only that ROCK…(((McDsp…URS))). Of course theres the UAD-1, but its a card. It kicks some serious butt too (Studio pack).
But, the links to plug-ins here will work on both platforms. ;D

All these companies, except BBE have FREE demos. Try them out.
WARNING!!!!!!!!!
Once you try them though….youll probably be hooked and cant do without them.

Good Luck

I tried the demo and liked it – a lot of cash for a bass only plugin though, but great if you’re a bass player.
 
The RC1 demo of alien connections Revalver 2 is available for download now if anyone is interested

More really NICE plug-ins!!!!

http://www.duy.net/duystore/default.asp?numCurrencyID=1! These plug-ins ROCK! I’ve been using the EverPack and the DaD Tape for a week now and WHOA!!!! They WILL open your mixes up and add some beef to your drums instantly. Sometimes without much tweaking. I’ll try to post some A/B comparisons’ if you all want, or just try their demos. They work without iLoks and no timed pops or noise sounds!

The Bx Digital Mastering Eq (TDM/VST/RTAS – PC/MAC) has been blowing my mind lately.
It works in regular stereo or in M/S.
In the latter mode you can solo either the Mid section or the Side section.
Great when you want to soften those high-mid frequencies from your panned guitars without affecting your centered kick, bass, vocals etc.
Many (native) software eq’s fall short in the subs and high frequencies but not this one imo.
 
It’s pricey.. in fact too pricey for me at the moment but the 14 day full demo is free!

Yes, the Bx-Digital Mastering EQ IS a awesome plug-in. It’s in a class of it’s own! Big A$S UI too hey It’s my newest secret weapon! Well, no secret anymore, hehehehe…

Waves API!!!!!

And do they sound good…as fun as when I laid ears on the SSL bundle the first time.

– You’re certainly right there! Waves have really got it right with the SSL bundle, V-series and now the API….Pity I can’t afford the latter 2 🙁  (or justify it with my lack of output recently)

I managed to remix some stuff in my 1 week demo period with the API – I think I prefer them to the SSL series – they seem less clean and add some great character…..better start saving

 I just got my hands on Waves API collection – My goodness it sounds amazin! I’ve been spending a couple hours compairing it to the SSL pack and I think API’s EQ’s sound alot nicer than the SSL’s. I found that the SSL sounded a little thin and harsh on some things. Where as API’s EQs sound alot smoother.

The API compressor’s quite snazy too. Sounds fantastic on the drum tracks espesh’ when you crank up the gain. It’s got a nice punch to it and I really like the fact you can switch between the old and new circuitry. Yum. Having said that I think I prefer the SSL Master Channel Compressor. It has a fatter more definded warmth to it. Yes’m much smoother sounding in my books! Oh and the only thing that sucks Is there’s no Side Chain feature??

I’ve also just got the demo of PSP’s Vintage Warmer 2. I think everybody should try it out. I’m quite blown away with it’s sound. The way texture to the audio is really sexual. Really does brings your mix to life. 

Regards, Marcus.

How is this plug-in? I don’t play bass, but I have a chance to get it for a steal!!!

Thanks

ok, for those who haven’t heard about it: Ampeg SVX from ik multimedia.
once i heard about it i was kind of sceptcal but once i bought it.. wow.

the ampeg plug is not only useable for heavily distorted sounds, it goes from bob marley thru sting to meshuggah with ease!!

it’s quite expensive but I reckon, if i can find ONE sound out of it.. it’s still cheaper than any quality bass rig out there.

oh, since the language in this thread is quite radical: .. buy this plug dudez!! it’z figgin RAD! do NOT keeps it on the DL.

 
Did you make the purchace? It sounds so bad ass when you’ve got your bass hooked up to a decent preamp!

Regards, Marcus.

[GORILLA]

Yes, I got the Ampeg plugin. Quite nice. And yes the API bundle is really something, use that 2500 compressor alot. Cool seeing you try Vintage Warmer! It’s a ear opener for sure!
