All you really need in a bundle

Of course you will want more. But then get those ala carte. Spending 5,000 on a bundle doesn't even make sense to me and I have plenty of cash. I use even the Renaissance ones, but usually the CLA compressors and the H-Series. And of course the Aphex Exciter. everything else to taste, plus there are a lot of good stand alone & free plug ins... though I need to modify them to work with HD. I have a guy for that.

I have Final Cut Pro for simple editing. I thought it would be cool to add 1000 fonts to my Mac Font Book. They all appear in my Video editor now. Problem: it will only load about 300 fonts, so it only goes to the letter G now, So I really screwed myself adding those fonts. Plus it takes an extra 15 minuted to load fonts I can not even see now. -- My point, you CAN have too many plugins and scroll right past the ones that might best help you and not even know it. Get a reasonable bundle for 6-700 and learn them well. Make presets.

Whoever said "less is more" failed at kindergarten math. But sometimes "more" can be too much.

Mastering/Processing God-send!

I'm just getting started with Waves, but I've used the C4 multiband, C1 compressor, Ultramaximizer, and the De-Esser. All have worked FLAWLESSLY! I mainly have used the C1 and De-Esser when processing vocals. It works like a dream!

This is amazing...probably way more plugins than what most people will ever use or need. But in terms of sound quality it's the best.
