Ozone Vs. Waves Diamond Bundle

[Johnny Cadelco]

Got 2 questions... For plugins in general what should i get.. Is waves diamond bundle enough or should i get more

For mastering what should i get.. ozone isotope 3 or waves diamond bundle which has L3 Ultramax and multimaximizer

Also recently i got that dyanimics III and i have had problems when i use its eq 3 and compressor.. it seems to be hogging my powerbook g4 saying "too much cpu power use due to rtas plugins check playback engine or cut down some plugins"

I never had that problem but now since i use those plugins

Waves is a great product...BUT...they have a pricey WUP policy. I'd avoid them until they change this. If you look around on the DUC, you'll find plenty of people pissed off at Waves. There are lots of other great companies, like McDSP, Ozone, Wave Art, ...

what WUP policy is this. the bundle is pricey but i'm willing get it regardless.

Ozone 3 is really nice and its wayyy less than any Waves product.

Get their demo and u'll c. I have Waves Platinum and have used Ozzone... its def. somethin 2 get. for home/self mastering, u'll b surprised of ur finally mixes. That, of course, u have a good final mix.

but demo their product.

its only like $150 or so.

I'm not trying to flame, but I have to know: does it take more of a conscious effort to remember to type "u" instead of "you"?

well i know ozone is much less than waves... But i want to know what's the best regardless of price mastering wise and in general for compression...reverb...eq also

is ozone better in mastering than waves?
