    Waves still has cyber deals and they switched some things up - the SSL Master Buss Comp is now a single plugin for $29 and the API2500 is also $29 - with a coupon code I just snagged them both for $50 - pretty good deal!

    • hehe, didn't read me slaggin below? na, it's a great compressor. just prefer the UAD version :)kingsteven
    • I've watched great reviews of both, which is why I asked the question below. I have the CLA Compressors https://www.waves.co…mg33
    • UAD = hardware needed and lotsa extra $$$... one day when I'm Rick Rubin I'll shell outprophetone
    • I have no doubt the UAD plugs are superior given the added hardware acceleration... one day!prophetone
    • pretty hard to argue with $29prophetone
    • i just geeked out and A/B'd the two, it is nuts how different they are for two plugins that emulate the same unit! both great but UAD has magic ear pixies.kingsteven
    • I lust for the UAD magic, but alas, and not unlike my lust for also jumping into the euro rack addiction rabbit hole, I have to keep my distance lolprophetone
    • TBH I went back and worked with the two along-side for a bit longer and the Waves held up. I don't know why but the UAD just is quicker to find the sweet spot!kingsteven
    • Good to know next time I run out of DSP, which is getting to be a regular occurrence even with 8 chips running :-|kingsteven
