Plugin Alliance, Softube, Soundtoys, Valhalla and a handful of others for the most part. If EVERYTHING disappeared, even the built-ins in Reaper plus a few excellent free plugins and I'd be fine. Sad when a company like Waves makes business moves without considering their customer base more thoughtfully.

@InsaneCarville Жыл бұрын

Thank you so much for doing this. I understand that you are in the position to keep on the Waves train and that is totally okay and respectable; anyone who wants to stay is still a friend to me. Good news is that they've decided not to 100% go through with it. People like myself on the low-budget side, with consistent enough work but have to plan the finances months in advance were not in the position to keep our loyalty; I will be abandoning Waves based on principle from their initial intent and will not risk losing all the work I was in the middle of just due to the handful yet key plugins I was using from them. I'm taking this as a huge learning experience and have already began browsing for alternatives. Landed on a lot of the ones you have shown here prior to watching which is comforting, but they are pricey. This is teaching me to push myself harder and has also shed light on how not to be super dependent on certain tools, as well as treat my investments a lot smarter. I am more of a musician than a mixer but mixing and recording are like a second job for me so I tend to look for these sorts of tools rather than more musical based rigs and plugins or hardware. Thanks again, much appreciated.

@theocorfiatis8456 Жыл бұрын

After updating my studio computer over 15 months ago, I stopped using any Waves plugins and found lots of alternatives (reason was I didn't like their business model). Mostly started using UAD plugins run on satellites, which for EQs, Compressors and plate reverbs works well for me. I was already using Fabfilter and Sonible stuff prior to the upgrade as my go-to mixing plugins. Other stuff I use is Softube plugins (especially the Weiss plugins, which are fantastic for mastering), Leapwing Multiband parallel compressor is fantastic (in fact their other plugins are great too) and they do Root-One which does sub harmonics for bass. Kush Audio plugins (Omega series saturators are lovely), they have some very nice EQs like Clariphonic and some fantastic character compressors. Waves MV2 I replaced with another low level compressor : Ra2 by Dave Hill (Cranesong) which only works in Pro-Tools, and his Phoenix 2 plugin is a mind blowing tape saturator (well it just saturates in a way that makes literally anything sound better - for me it's the ultimate "Betterizer"). I use a few Soundtoys plugins (Love the Echoboy for delay). These replace anything that Waves stuff did. Recently I've been looking into Acustica "Character" Eqs and Saturators. Jam is mind blowing, and they have another few worth looking at. Their Fire Clipper is very simple and transparent to use. These sound amazing, but because they use convolution to get the sound, they can be laggy if you're mixing with them (I tend to freeze tracks with these on them). Vitamin was one I found hard to replace, but I do use WavesFactory Spectre, which isn't exactly the same, but works. A really good bundle I've started using is Elevate by New Fangled Audio, this is excellent and can do a lot of Mastering and mixing duties, and a lot of the stuff in this is quite different to Waves plugins. This is definitely not a detailed list like you've done in the video, but maybe a few interesting plugins here worth looking at.

As n00b as this sounds, when it comes to BLYSS, I like "Classic For a Reason" preset under "M I X B U S S" super-folder and use it as my FINISHING POINT, not just my STARTING POINT, which is the purpose of presets in the 1st place LoLoLoL

Seconded on Blyss, amazing plug-in. Also a big fan of their Omega transformers. The only downside is that they are still not Apple Silicon Native at this time, with no clear roadmap.

For replacing the NLS you could try Front Daw by United Plugins or P42 by Pulsar Modular. Both great options for track saturation

Man, you did a great job. Now Waves just changed their mind and reversed their sub-only model.

Even with waves backtracking, still a very useful video. I hope everyone switches away from them anyways for what they tried to do

Sounds very promising. Keep it free please..any idea when it will be available for the masses?

To replace Waves Api we have PA or Pink from Acustica Audio. Where Waves shines in my opinion is on compressors. I am looking for the Rvox and MV2 replacements.

This is a huge help for everyone, been gravitating away from their stuff for a while now. This will help complete the job. Any thoughts on an alternative to NLS?

Looks like Waves backtracked. In any event, great video if someone wants to compare and hear the similarities and differences. :)

I guess being busy with tons of plugins is also a way of avoiding the basic thing : finish a song and be proud of it. I use Ozone 10 and use many times the chain plugins of this as stand alone. I use Sonible eq and compressor. And finally I use stock plugins in Ableton Live. I own synths like Omnisphere and Sylenth. I would like Ovox in the past for audio to midi but Ableton gives better results. Home hobby 🙂 Ceo Meir Shashoua Waves has come back on this strategy so they have listen to their users !

for the Altec compressor the alternative would be Cream2 of Acustica Audio?

Had I known that Waves was going to reverse course I wouldn't have bothered with alternatives but over the past two days I bought 2. 1. The SLP 538 EQ by Purified as an alternative to the SSL E Channel. 2. As an alternative to the SSL Buss Compressor I bought the Brainworx BX Townhouse Buss Compressor. Oh well, it gives me more choices. They were both on special.

@davejohnsonmusic Жыл бұрын

I think the Solid State Logic SSL Bus Comp is the best imo, even better than the Waves. The Townhouse never really did it for me and I feel like it's too colored as a 2-Buss comp. Probably better suited on a parallel drum crush aux.

@@davejohnsonmusicthe new softube bus processor is the best in my opinion. It’s subjective anyways.

I actually stopped using Waves plugins back in December of 2021. RVox was my favorite of all the waves plugins. But, I have switched to Klanghelm MJUC

@HollerAtcherBoi Жыл бұрын

Hey David, what do you think of Analog Obsession? I’ve been using their SSL G Bus, LA2A, DBX160, Vari-Mu Limiter and Neumann mastering EQ for awhile now. They all have oversampling, too.

Softube tla 100A is a good replacement for cla 2a and 3a aswell I think, depending on how you set the attack and release. Not exactly the same, but it sounds great

@williamstreet1148 Жыл бұрын

Obviously, this is old news now but the subscription debacle made me think about what Waves plugs I actually use often and it wasn't much (and a lot of them that I once used have been replaced by things I like better) but I feel like the writing is on the wall and I'm looking for replacements for the last few that I do use.
