Can anyone suggest their preference for best plugins for Protools for
use on a Mac G5 (Dual 2.5GHz) running OS 10.3.6 and Protools 6.7?

I'm especially interested in useful plugins for vocal effects. (I've
already got Antares Auto-Tune and Mic Mod).

I worked with Waves a few years back and seemed to like what I heard...
are they still a contender?

Thanks in advance.

You betcha. I just wrote a rave review of their TDM Platinum Bundle for Pro
Audio Review magazine. The first part is in the current (November) issue and
part 2 will be in the December issue, due out in a few days.

Their stuff is expensive, as are most high end plugins, but very well worth it.
IMHO no plugin maker comes close to Waves' overall product line.

Check out Universal Audio and McDSP as well as Waves.

Thanks gents,

I should have mentioned, btw, that I'm running Protools Le, and not a
TDM version.

That does make a difference. The Universal Audio plug-ins that run on the UAD-1
card are usable with ProTools LE via a VST to RTAS adapter program.

"RTAS: Supported via special UAD-1 version of FXpansion's VST to RTAS Adapter."

There are RTAS versions of the Waves plugins that work with PTLE, and they're
just as good sounding as the TDM versions. They also cost a lot less.

Ditto on the EQ. I'm using it as I write this. It's the only EQ plugin I
really like. The low end is fantastic.

Fletcher always spoke highly (Or at least not negatively) of the Bomb
Factory Pultec plug-ins. I used them recently and thought they were
useable. I couldn't compare them to the hardware versions as I have
little exposure to them but the plug-ins work well.

My facility has done a number of one day Recording Seminars, some with
Fletcher as one of the guest speakers.

For one of them we spent a Saturday afternoon just on compression.
Fletcher was not the least bit positive or for that matter interested
in Bomb Factory's or anyone else's software compressor plugs that day.

I've got some BF TDM plugs - they came for free with Protools hardware
- and I never use them.

I'd also like to mention that we have tentatively scheduled another
Celebration Recording Seminar for the last Saturday in February. This
one is entitled "Songwriting, Producing & Engineering", and will again
have have Fletcher, along with a fellow with national song writing
credits as guests, with me as the host. Will post more info here within
the next week.
