Finally Bought UAD-2 - which three plugs to choose?
Years ago when Mackie distributed the UAD-1 I had one. Long story short I sold it when my new machine didn't have PCI.
So they're doing a promotion where you get Neve, API, SSL and 600 series plugs free so I took the plunge. I can choose three free plugs with the bundle I bought. I really want the A-800 and/or the Ampex (I'm going to AB them and decide) what other plugs would you choose? I'm thinking of grabbing the more expensive ones that I think I'll want asn freebies.

Hi, Good luck choosing just 3 1176 classic limiter collection is a must ...(The whole analogue classics bundle is on offer right now @ about 1/5 normal price and includes all the greats) All reverbs especially the Lexicons are the best The tape emulations are the best Ocean way studios is awesome The Manley stuff is awesome You're going to have to demo and find what you like the best Chris

Re: Finally Bought UAD-2 - which three plugs to choose?
I had one of those, "how is he getting that price???" moments before I remembered they did that. I think it's pretty nifty that they do that dynamic bundle adjustments thing, too. I might have some additional Softube and Izotope if they did. Alas.

Re: Finally Bought UAD-2 - which three plugs to choose?
I'd get the plugins which are unique to UAD, like the AKG spring, Dytronics chorus, MXR Flanger etc.
I'd avoid getting plugins which you can buy much cheaper natively like many of the Plugin Alliance/Brainworx offerings, the Eventide Harmoniser, Softube Dynamite and such. All that said, you might want to consider bread and butter plugins you might use all the time? The newer blue stripe 1176 sounds good to my ears. Stephen

Re: Finally Bought UAD-2 - which three plugs to choose?
If I only had 3 plugins I would choose atleast 2 Unison ones like API CS and maybe a SSL4000 CS as they sound fantastic and maybe the Studer 800!
