I highly recommend that you watch some of the product videos and tutorials on their website to really get a good feel for how deep these plugins are. Two things that really set FabFilter apart from Waves and the rest of the pack is their (1) really intuitive and nice-looking interfaces, and (2) implementation of m/s processing. I also have several Waves plugins/bundles (Gold, Renaissance Maxx, SSL 4000, Maserati, and H-EQ). I think I've purchased every one of them as soon as they were released because they give great loyalty discounts and because they make some of the best plugins on the market IMO. I have all of the FabFilter plugins except Micro and FabFilter One. It's a tough question to answer without knowing the Waves plugins/bundles that you are considering, but these are two of my favorite plugin developers, so I'll give you my perspective. Just wanted to see if you guys preferred comparable waves plugs, or the fabfilter stuff. I can get the total bundle, every plug fabfilter makes, for $900. Good luck, and thanks for bringing the FF stuff to my attention. I think I agree with some of the other folks who posted, FF first for everyday stuff, Waves (and others) for specific things. For most of my everyday, workhorse tasks they'd certainly be near the top of my list. So, shorter answer, after an admittedly short demo period I really like what I've seen so far on the FF stuff and may be buying shortly. The FF will not replace my hardware or some of my "character" compressors, but if I do buy it it would see lots of use. Even if you're just still trying to figure out stuff like "how does 2db of compression with a medium attack sound as compared to whatever other setting", being able to see what the compressor is doing and then correlating that with what you're hearing is very valuable. If you have any lingering questions about how compressors affect sound, the display will help tremendously. The functional dynamics control aspects of the FF are really very nice and the display that shows both the dynamics domain and time domain effects is really really good. The compressor: I am a bit of a compressor nerd.I own lots of plugs and a fair amount of hardware and I know my way around compression pretty well.
I don't think I own any Waves products that do what the FF does, and while I'll still use the UAD Manley, Pultec and my hardware, if I do pick up the FF it will see a lot of use. The FF built-in analyzer is really cool in this regard, as is the control set.I really like the ability to easily bypass and solo bands and the shelves and filters are nice and functional. To my ears most of them sound pretty much the same (with very few notable exceptions) and the real difference is how quickly and easily I can get them to do what I want. Regarding the EQ, let me start by saying I'm not a big EQ guy. I've only demod the EQ and Compressor so far from FF, but I do own a bunch of other stuff.Waves, UAD, IKMM, PSP, and a bunch of hardware (UA, SSL, Empirical Labs etc). And because of our special attention to design, you'll be delighted every time you open a FabFilter plug-in.I figured I'd give you a quick comparative review since the original point of this thread was to compare the FF stuff and the Waves stuff. Our plug-ins focus on the task you're performing at that specific moment: they expose the features you need, when you need them.
That's why we put a lot of effort into developing unique audio processing algorithms, ranging from our famous resonating filters to transparent high-end EQ and dynamics processing.Įvery FabFilter plug-in has an easy-to-use, well-designed interface aimed at providing unsurpassed workflow. Considering every little detail, we tune our algorithms and interfaces until they sound perfect, look amazing and feel great to work with.Ībove everything else, you need superb sound quality. To achieve this, we continually rethink and challenge industry standards: we've never been afraid of reinventing the wheel. At FabFilter, we make the best possible tools for music production and audio processing.
