You guessed it! Emulations of the iconic Pultec EQP-1A and MEQ-5 equalizers of the 1950s. You’ll likely find that the smooth, frequency-dependent quirks of the original unit are accurately, if not uniquely, represented by the Waves plugin. There’s just a lot of them that you should consider trying yourself! As its name and look suggest, the CLA-2A is based on Teletronix’s LA-2A leaving amplifier developed in the early ’60s. It sure seems like it, but Waves doesn’t only model fantastic compressors. Try it out on a drum buss or an entire mix. Like the two previously mentioned hardware emulations, the SSL buss compressor has an optional “analogue” switch to add or remove noise generated by the devices.
You’ve likely heard a hundred engineers talk about the compressor’s ability to “glue” elements together, which Waves’s SSl G Master Buss Compressor has sought to reproduce. SSL entrusted Waves, under license, to develop a replica of their renowned 4000 G console master buss compressor. Overall, the API’s parameters are extremely musical, making it a go-to for engineers. The dual channel 2500 can be run as two mono channels with a single compressor setting. The API 2500 dynamics processor is no exception, letting users carefully craft the punch and tone of their mixes with accuracy. Waves has worked very closely with API to faithfully reproduce each plugin’s hardware counterpart.
There’s also an included 50 or 60 Hz analogue hum for some added flavor, if desired! API 2500 Waves offers two revisions inspired by the mid-1960s compressor, including both a “Blacky” and a “Bluey.” With attack settings as fast as 50 microseconds and the famed “all buttons in” mode, the Waves CLA-76 is an excellent choice for in-the-box mixing. Looking for more plugin bundle recommendations? Check out the following video, which dives into the Waves Horizon bundle in even more detail.UREI’s original 1176LN compressor/limiter is one of the most used and desired pieces of hardware ever produced. If there’s an additional plugin that you want to buy here or there, it’s still going to be cheaper than jumping to something like the Waves Mercury bundle.
As far as I’m concerned, this is the most useful bundle that Waves sells if you’re a music producer.Īs soon as you start adventuring into bundles beyond this price point, you begin paying for things that you likely won’t be using very often. In comparison to the Waves Gold Bundle, Waves Horizon provides more in regards to vocal production and mastering. This bundle will make sure that you have all your bases covered. It comes with excellent assortment of plugins ranging from creative devices to mixing tools. If you’re still working with stock audio effects, and want to invest some money into plugins, the Waves Gold bundle is going to be an excellent option for you. The following two bundles from Waves offer the best bang for your buck, hands down. I've scraped through all of their bundles looking for the best in regards to music production, mixing, and mastering. It's pretty obvious what you're getting when you buy one of these bundles, but Waves also has a giant library of other bundles that aren't quite as application specific. Waves has a number of plugin bundles with very specific intended uses such as broadcast and production, 360 surround sound, and live performance. Recently, Waves has started pricing their products so that they’re within reach of bedroom producers, and home recording enthusiasts this is good news for consumers because it means massive plugin bundles for reasonable prices. Compared to its analog counterpart I find it to sound slightly more brittle, but overall I'm a big fan of it. One of the things I like about this compressor is the fast attack time you can set this makes it an excellent choice for peak compression. I use this on drums, vocals, guitars, and even pianos. This compressor is modeled after two versions of a compressor from the 60s, and it’s one of my favorite tools for applying clean peak compression.
