There will be plenty of leaner times when you have to wait for the deal unfortunately. If somebody gave you $20,000 to invest solely in your studio would you sit on it while you tried to figure it out? Wait for the deals? I say no. 7k is steep maybe she can get a better deal somewhere else or package it in a better way. Yes! Hell Yes! It's a one stop shop of great plugins. As for now, she's asking is UAD worth it. But, why bother dragging it out and trying to find all of that. Yes, it's well known that there are plugins that are "as good" or "nearly as good" or "as good but different".
She could spend years looking for those plugins that are "just as good" or "nearly as good" or "as good but different" but those are just slight variations of the same saying. Her and her family believe in her and what she's doing. So I guess the real question, that I haven't seen anyone ask here, is why are you wanting to buy the whole plugin package? I realize this is blasphemy here at VI-OutOfControl, where GAS is the norm, but really are you needing some specific plugs or are you missing some big capabilities? I overbought last year, due to sales frenzies and still being a noob (which I am still), but I've learned a lot.
And the big package deals can be fun, but then as previously stated you'll get a lot of shit you don't need. We can all tell you what we like and use, and why, but at the end of the day it will be you in your studio using what you bought. But as Jose stated, if you've already decided then this is all a moot point. I agree with the others that many other plugins are great. Take advantage of the sales that inevitably pop up you can get a much bigger bang for your buck when the sales are 50% or more. Put the $7K in a high interest bearing checking account until you decide what to do.Īs many have stated, unless you have a pressing need, there is no rush. And if u need a plugin then buy it after demoing. If I where u I would just sign up for the plugin alliance newsletter and wait for the 29.99-39.99 deals. You’ll be surprise how pretty pictures and branding affect purchasing. and do double blind test so u don’t know which plugins is affecting the audio isn’t the test.

Plus it adds latency.īut u can judge yourself if you google comparison with specific plugins and the way they sound.ĭownload a demo for similar eq and compressor etc. You need several dsp chips to load the plugins and people complain about not being able to load as many as they want. The Onboard effects dsp is an old technology but rebranded to be used on incoming audio so u can track/record with plugins.īut most computers will let u mix w tons of native plugins.Īnd uad is famous for underpowered dsp. But they won’t be either better or worse than waves or pluginalliance plugins. So I could own an OCTO and every plugin for £1700.
#WAVES VS UAD PLUGINS UPGRADE#
I now own something like 60 of the 100 plugins, and so UAD quoted me £900 to upgrade to owning every plugin. I waited a while and managed to get an OCTO with ~40 UAD plugins for £800. I wanted some more power so I bought a used OCTO on ebay. Buying just a few would save money on plugins you inevitably will never use.įor reference I bought an Arrow new. So I doubt you need ALL of the UAD plugins. In the long run you don't want to be paying more than 50-60 USD per plugin. If you check out the UAD forums, they experienced guys there give a guide price of 30 usd per UAD plugin, but it requires being clever with sales.
#WAVES VS UAD PLUGINS PRO#
7k would buy you a new Mac Pro for example. Only thing is, in 2020 computing power is getting so fast and affordable the bang for your buck in terms of cumpute power from UAD is really bad value. Running plugins on the hardware takes the load off of your computer which can be a great help. unbeatable if you're recording with a mic lots.Ģ) The DSP hardware acceleration. Do some reasearch on UAD Unison Preamps/plugins. If you're running a studio needing to record lots of mics like drums and multiple live musicians then this is great.
#WAVES VS UAD PLUGINS SOFTWARE#
What hardware are you getting for the 7k?ġ) the software hardware integration for recording. The UAD stuff IS great - but 7k is a lot.
