I say ik plus slate 15 buck a month deal (which includes s-gear) and you're set forever.ĭo whatever makes your ears and wallet happy. Their stand alone modo bass is a straight up game changer, though. I have s-gear and a punch of other great sims from uad and plugin alliance, but amplitube usually wins the spot. The reverbs were coded by the cat who later went in to form Relab.Īmplitube 4 is amazing, period. No api buss comp, but they do have three different api eq's and pre's modeled and they're great. There 1176, la2a, the neve and ssl buss comps are great and hold up very well against everything else out there. The channel strips and eq's are all solid and hold up great next to uad or anything else out there. I'm a total ik fanboy and own literally everything they make. VSTs / plugins seem like a hall of mirrors, just neverending.

I don't know, "back in the day," you had a few choice, with some obvious 'favorites' to at least provide reference points. Just like w/analog, I'll learn over time and develop my own tastes. Īnd leaving out hundreds of things is fine - I know I'm dipping the first toe. This both pack will make an unbeatable starting pack imho. YES 1 $ so be on the look out of this or buy one licence old cheap) then upgrade to the whole bundle at 79 $ !! The other thing i think is an exellent value is the AIR bundle, the way you get, buy Air Expand (it was at 1 $. you will be cover with crucial plugins (be sure to check, even with GTR 3 you will be served in solid Guitar stuff) Here's another question, then: if you had all the instruments and guitar processing you wanted, on which VST would you first spend $200-$300?The unbeatable value around specially now is the Waves Gold bundle (144 $ !!.

I'm really wondering if there are decent compressors, limiters, channel strip type stuff that fall between the price points of IK (which I consider cheap) and hideous ($hundreds for a VST? Yeesh).Īppreciate the advice - am reading between the lines that you consider the IK processing apps as not offering great value? I have all the Positive Grid stuff on an iPad and it's meeting a need, so consider that box checked.
