    That's why I said the Penthouse suite. Analog and as heavenly as it gets.
    Everybody else is wrong. Ban them.

    "not useful digital tools." :woot: :rofl:

    Misquoting at its finest.. Ban <3 Xupito! lol

    edit:
    @reignerrr I have to admit umm.. I did not catch that "analog heaven" thing.. so @No Avenger was right. In fact was just tossing the devs off the top of my head. But tbh, others got confused too. You should change your OP only if you really want it. I mean, it is your thread! :bow:

    I really like the IK multimedia suite and Softube for analog, but if had to live with one of these suites only, even with all the plugins waves make, its gotta be Fabfilter, hands down. It just works, and perfectly so each time.

    Anything that's well optimized, with a nice and clear interface, and fast loading times. So stock plugins, Fabfilter, Brainworx, Black Rooster... Those plugins will yield the best results for me. I don't care that Acustica plugins sound the best, if it takes 5 minutes to load, adjust the plugin and bounce the track because it eats up 50% of my CPU, I will do a shitty mix.

    I mix mostly with Waves. Accurate emulations or not, they sound great to me, CPU friendly, are easy and quick to use, and most importantly, have a great interface that a lot of other plugin companies lack, and it really does make a difference in workflow.

    In Nebula you can access e.g. dsp buffer and ahead time via the master section. In acquas the user interface for these settings is missing. But via the xml file you still have access to these options.
