Bundles of Waves plugins

7 April 2017 By Avinash Meetoo 1 Comment

I love playing and composing music and I have released three albums over the years. I generally use Logic Pro X as my digital audio workstation, sprinkled with a few Waves plugins which I love (e.g. the H-Comp Hybrid Compressor, H-EQ Hybrid Equalizer, H-Reverb Hybrid Reverb, H-Delay Hybrid Delay, Bass Rider, Vocal Rider, L2 Ultramaximizer, Dorrough Stereo and WLM Plus Loudness Meter).

I find Waves plugins amazing. I tend to mainly use the ones created from scratch by Waves (like the one I have mentioned above) but I don’t mind using the ones modeled after classic hardware components from time to time (e.g. the API 2500, CLA-2A/3A/76 Compressor / Limiter and the SSL E/G-Channel).

Here are the various waves bundles (collections of plugins) with a list of plugins comprising them:

Of course, if money is no object and you run a very profitable studio, get the Mercury Bundle. For mere mortals though, get a lower bundle or, maybe, buy the plugins you really need individually. For example, if I had to buy my favourite plugins individually, the amount I’ll have to pay would be:

  • H-Comp Hybrid Compressor ($179)
  • H-EQ Hybrid Equalizer ($179)
  • H-Reverb Hybrid Reverb ($349)
  • H-Delay Hybrid Delay ($179)
  • Bass Rider ($99)
  • Vocal Rider ($249)
  • L2 Ultramaximizer ($299)
  • Dorrough Stereo ($199)
  • WLM Plus Loudness Meter ($399)

for a total of $2131 which is more expensive than the Platinum Bundle! Maybe it would be more intelligent to wait for Waves to do sales (which they practically always do) or get the Platinum Bundle and try to make use of its plugins to the full.

In any case, have fun.

PS: Waves is not the only audio plugin manufacturer who offers quality plugins. Others do.

PPS: As a Logic Pro X user, I tend to use the Logic Compressor and the Logic Channel EQ more than their Waves counterparts (H-Comp Hybrid Compressor and H-EQ Hybrid Equalizer) because they integrate better in the Logic mixer. I would love to have the same kind of integration with the Waves plugins though. Waves? Apple?
