    This right here. The most I've paid for any of their plugins was $50, and that was the SSL Bundle with both the channel strip and bus comp. Everything else I bought for about $40 or less (thanks for all the vouchers after buying stuff UA). Most I didn't even pay $10 for. They are constantly on sale, if the ones you want aren't, give it a couple weeks and wait them out.

    Don't listen to all the BS people spout about iLok either. Do a demo and try it out for yourself. Been using iLok for over 15 years now both machine and dongle activations, only time there is ever an issue is if iLok's servers are down, and I have never been in the middle of a session when that has occurred, so I've never lost a minute with them. The UAD stuff is great, the folks that invented the 1176 and LA2A/LA3A still make the best emulations of them.. The SSL stuff was done with SSL. The API stuff was signed off by API.. Manley gave them all the information they needed for the Manley plugs, etc, etc.. You really can't go wrong there. Just don't get sucked into the bundles. Everybody whines about being trapped with them, you don't have to buy them. Get the individual stuff you want/need and be done with it.

    While I don't have the neumann Monitors I have recently switched to using neumann ndh30 headphones and you are right once you can hear better you use less plugins.
