Thats something I dont get - plugins were supposed to be a cheap alternative to hardware, yet TBH - you can go and buy a bunch of cheap Benhringer and others fx boxes for less than the cost of decent pluings and end up with better more controllable sound than from equivelently priced low end plugins... Aphex exister for eg is about the same price (actually probably less) than an equivelently good plugin to do the job.
I still use my DEQ2496 as one of my main processors as its hell of alot better than any of the equivelent junk that ships with Cubase SX.
The only collection of plugins so far that I have that actually is guenuinely good is the UAD-1 ultra-pak set. (As I dont have the TC powercore yet).
I do like the reverbs in the UAD-1 set, but I still havnt found 'my reverb' - Ive been avoiding buying an MPX-1 as I dint really want to spend any more on outboard fx, but I suspect I will have to eventually. actually the MPX-1 is like a hge plugin pak all on its own - a freind has two of them in his studio.
I wonder if its a case of where a cmpany is making hardware, they is some drive to make a decent job of it - even with cheap hardware where with PC/Mac software at the lower end - if it compiles - ship it - to hell with what it sounds like.
