Anyone still using these on a regular basis as their go to plugins?

They do still seem to be popular faves amoung many. Every week or so I'm coming across some dude who's using it.

It doesn't matter how old it is really, not if you manage to "get it right". Look at other vintage processors. The 2A, the 76, Fairchild, Neve EQ, SSL... much of their design hasn't changed much in years and the classic stuff is still sought after today. That's because they got it right too.

The Renn processors are just a modern day example of "getting it right".

However, I may upset a few here but I'm a tiny bit superficial when it comes to the UI. Wish they'd update it and include an optional "legacy" UI for the older users.

But hey, the important thing is that sound right?!?

Then Person 2 feels like ass/ashamed because they can't freeze a track and blah blah like the cool kids.

This all goes back to hanging with the cool kids!
Haha! this is funny but not exactly what we are talking about. E. g. a lot of top notch engineers are still using ancient technology of analog consoles :)

Well, seriously, I think this is also about knowing your tools in and out when you use them for years and know how to get great results. This does not mean you should not (also) use more modern technology. In the end the result is what matters, not the tools.

I agree. The point of starting the thread was to see if any others (Like me) still use the Renn Plugins... and yes the end results are what matters, don't think you will get many people that will argue with that point.

Augusta,
You use them because they are good … trust your original decision .
Meanwhile, new approaches emerge. Demo them, try them and some you will like & add to your pallet of tools.

I use the de-esser every day and the reverb often in my post production work.

When you decide to re-wup, ask for a special quote from audiodeluxe.com
