To HEAT or not to HEAT?

I mainly use vmr SSL and vtm multitrack. And on 2 buss the vmr 2 bus into VBC into vtm 1/2 inch. For other stuff I use all different plugins. I prefer clean and precise eqs like Sony oxford.

I'm probably just going to buy vmr, vbc, vtm. And get off the subscription. I don't need all the different slate plugs. I have tons of real hardware as inserts as well.

What do you think would be the best UAD plugin that is equivalent or even better than HEAT?

That is a pretty safe equation as far as the sound quality, I think. The integration is nice, but it isn't worth two thirds the price of Pro Tools Vanilla.

Thanks again, very appreciated.
I agree as I mostly use similar combinations from Waves, I really find Kramer Tape to be a useful tool. About clean EQs, I use them more and more as my love for pristine, detailed audio grows... with age I suspect.

I can't see your signature from the phone, I'd love to hear some of your work.

Check Plugin Alliance Plugins ... UAD are just porting them to their platform whereas you can get them at 1/4 of UAD price and in my opinion are the best out there

Interesting proposition.

I never saved my active bypassed versions

I literally turned it on and played with it once I got it and it’s on by default since

...but, not at $495. It's a crazy amount of money for a saturation plugin, and there are alternatives out there that sound terrific for far, far less.

This is all true

Heat has the best implementation because it's just 1 button.

But I don't think Heat is a tape emulation so for what I was looking for it didn't help.

Slate annoys the crap out of me but the vtm vmr combo is the best sounding imo.

100% agree - especially with Slate and their historic faults at programming- this is why heat wins for me
