Default Re: Sonnox Oxford

Sonnox Oxford are the set of plug ins designed to come with the high end digital sony consoles...

They are very nice, work great, and are used in many studios as the primary set of EQ's compressors and such.

Are they better than Waves? No... in fact Waves Q series and Sonnox EQ are no better than the stock Digirack EQ that comes with pro tools. It is a proven fact that EQ's can by phase cancelled (with some minor tweeking) from one brand to another. Some brands tend to add distortion, noise, harmonics, phase, but all in all, EQ's will cancel each other out.

Dynamics tend to have characteristics people like, from workflow, to tonal character. From brand to brand not better, but different.

If you are looking for a dynamics bundle, in my opinion the best on the market is the CLA Classic Comrpessors set. By far my go to for mixing and mastering (at certain stages.)

The digirack compressor is actually pretty great. Just not for final brickwall limiting.

Best of luck to you
