If you will permit me, I'd like to get on a soapbox for a moment and say something very important. To all of you home and project studio owners out there using. O Fixed bug: In Waves SoundShifter, AudioSuite processing of fragmented regions is now distortion-free. Renaissance Maxx Bundle v 6r5 May 1, 2009 MacOS X UB Download Demo Download Update.
WAVES COMPLETE V9.91 (May 24th, 2017) For members who want to create their own Offline Installer package, but with selectable individual plugin(s) (from Waves Central application - it will download required files from Waves servers in order to create your custom package!), the following list indicates all plugins must be added to selection (if you'll want all, but you'll can restrict this list as you'll want, of course). May be useful if you'll want to install some of your favorite Waves plugin(s), instead of whole bundles such Mercury. This list is designed for Windows platforms, but I presume it will valid for MacOS X, too! The following list doesn't include any SoundGrid / drivers! Click to expand.For sure, you're blind! You'll don't need glasses, but a guide dog.
This topic (updated sometimes) explains which plugins must be selected to create your offline installer package (including ALL plugins), downloaded from Waves Central application, that's all. You must download (then install) Waves Central application (for PC or Mac) from, then create your offline installer package from Waves Central application (login to your Waves account first, of course!) But assuming you've found the solution, because you've voted 'Like' on initial topic.
I'm never sure what it is I'm supposed to take away from such polls. Is it that I should go out and buy whatever is most popular among a certain group? I don't select anything else by that criteria. I don't drive a Toyota Camry, for instance (no room for my gear!). Is it that the collective wisdom of a group can discern what's 'best' better than an individual could? Call it the 'Justin Bieber' theory, e.g.
50 million fans can't be wrong. Should I assume that the poll respondents a) know more about plugins than the rest of us, or that b) have tried out more plugins than we have, and therefore possess information not generally known? Doesn't seem likely, given that none of the products listed are the least bit obscure. I'm curious; who reads these kinds of lists and then bases subsequent purchase decisions on them? Bitflipper I'm never sure what it is I'm supposed to take away from such polls. Is it that I should go out and buy whatever is most popular among a certain group?
I don't select anything else by that criteria. I don't drive a Toyota Camry, for instance (no room for my gear!). I find polls, reviews, comments and the like useful in the other direction. If hundreds are dissatified I can quickly stay way. If many are happy, then it might be worth going further and learning about the advantages and disadvantages and how I myself might benefit. But that's only a starting point.
The poll in question has to be weighted in favour of the cheap or free, just because they allow a larger number to participate. If the best compressor is 1000$ (which it might very well be) but only one voter has ever used it, the compressor won't be high on the list. It would have been better to label the poll as 'Most Popular', not 'Best'. I agree that polls are nonsense.
Are we expected to believe that the people who voted for EQ no.1 fairly evaluated EQ's nos. 2 through 10 before making their decision? People choose their favorite compressor of the compressors they've ended up trying for one reason or another, and that's it. I mean they probably have some vague meaning in that some of those people will have ended up using compressors through reading positive reviews and comments on forums, but there are many other factors at play there.
Has compressor A been marketed better tha compressor B, and that's why more people know about it? Personally I prefer reading detailed reviews with sound examples, buts that's just me. I've said it before if Sonar would update the gui of the sonitus plugins.there would be many people swear they sound better. (those are pretty good plugins.) I believe that most of those comps in the list are very good, and a 'pro' mixer could get 'pro' results with any of them. What happens in these polls is people vote for what they use. Crooks and lovers zip. MJUC and Kotelnikov are pretty cheap and probably have many users.
