If it is between these two for you...also rememebr that Waves seems to have a habit of nickel and dime'ng you for their updates. I bought into waves a while back and now it would cost me about as much as I had paid originally just to upgrade to the latest version. Once you buy a UAD-1 plug...it works for all the cards in your computer (up to 4) for good. Software updates are free. Also, the UAD-1 forum is a good resource for help, etc...Originally posted by wonder:
at this point...its waves vs. uad to get my dollar.
I'm leaning towards UAD for the LA2A and 1176
It can be found here
The one waves plug-in set I find very useful is the restoration set. Other than that, for compressors, limiters, a vintage gear sound...the UAD-1 is second to none.
