UAD Pick 2 Suggestions?

Btw the Black Friday $25 can be used twice:), but on two purchases, of course.

Nice! Thanks for the heads-up.

That depends, the legacy LA-2A was good for its time (back in the early 2000's) but not really comparable by today's standards. If it's the new version then nah, I wouldn't bother.

Wow this is a good deal.

I’ve not seen the 2 for $100 before.

I’m definitely going to grab two!

Problem is which two …. mmmh?

Couple thoughts from my own demo-ing last night I figured I'd share.

1) C-Vox... I don't get it? I don't know, maybe my recordings are pretty dry already or maybe I'm doing it wrong. Either way, I tested this out on my own vocals on a demo I'm working on and the "room" reduction made the vocal sound worse in a hard-to-define way while the ambience reduction didn't do anything to minimize the headphone bleed. Granted, this was a pretty quality recording to begin with so maybe not the best use case but I was bummed out that it didn't kill the headphone bleed. If it can't do that, what's the point?

2) If you're like me and you record in two locations, one with a UAD device and one without... maybe consider purchasing plugs that are also available on Spark? I went with the Lexicon 224 instead of the 480 for this reason. I like being able to get roughs at my remote location with Spark (or other Native tools) and bring them back to my mix room. I often end up leaving those settings.

3) Is it just me or are all the settings on Hitsville Chamber in serious need of LPF? Could be the vocal track I was working on. I got a sound I liked but maybe Capitol is more my style. Which would be weird since I'm a real-life Motown junkie. Not giving up on this one! Trying more sources today.

4) Speaking of Lexicon 224... if, like me, you have somehow avoided getting this plug up until this point. Just buy it. I feel like kind of an idiot. This thing is awesome. Who knew? (Answer: Everybody but me!). Plus there's an extra $75 off for The Lexicon 224 so it's a real no-brainer.

For anyone wondering about the differences between the versions, here's a link.

Did some demo-ing of the vanilla Seventh Heaven and it's really pretty good. I'll probably demo the big boy Pro version tonight to see if I get on with the tweak features but I'm certainly at least buying the entry version. 

Nothing was "wow" but pretty much everything was better (and I've got some pretty decent 'verbs). If that makes sense. 

Stop screwin around and just buy Ultimate 11 for $1200 !

I bought most of UA plugins just over a year ago on an exremely low cost seasonal bundle. Then I decided to buy a lot of HW and don't use a fraction of it, totally worth it.

I was going to go that route, but I think buying multiple 'pick any 2' bundles might actually be the better deal depending on how many vouchers you have available. It was for me.

Normally, you can’t reuse, the bf repeat was just a xmas treat.



Also, for the other bundles more than 2, ua doubles what you can pick 6 for 3, etc up to 20 for 10, I think.

The U11 deal is fantastic for the new ua uninvested client, alm ja plugs fir $1200, for those of us who have already spent $1,000’s, ( in my case twice, selling out and buying back in), no proration fir ultimate price .

I don't use unison, so wouldn’t want all the plugs anyway, still can’t get my head around ua’s different offering for new vs established clients.

Only you know your coupons so figure out your net price based on the plugs you want but I think the 3 starts st $399, so 6 for same price is a 50% savings, which inceases based on your coupon discount.
