The Waves Renaissance Plugins
Hello,
I have used the Waves Renaissance plugins since about 2003 and I still use these plugins till this day. Renaissance Comp Renaissance EQ Started using the Renaissance Vox later than the previous 2. I was a little ashamed to admit I still use these same old plugins since they are not the "latest and greatest". I was just watching a YouTube video and the producer was talking about still using the Renaissance Plugs after all these years so it made me wonder... Anyone still using these on a regular basis as their go to plugins? Tony

You probably won´t succeed trying to use them for surgical applications yet using them to shape material in a more musical way still will work for sure. Particularly if you make sure the particular source suits the sound character of the particular Renaissance plugs. Still 3 years ago for example they massively used Waves Renaissance plugs (compressor, deesser, eq and even the reverb) on the leads and backings for JT´s 20/20 Experience as well as for Jay-Z´s tracks. They also used MCDSP Filterbank and CompressorBank even on the leads and on other stuff which ain´t the most current plug ins as well. However as mentioned before if you know what you are using it for and the material does suit the character of the Renaissance plug ins those are still useable and useful indeed as they are very musical and smooth by default and they got a beautiful vibe. The fact that there are so many more options available out there nowadays (compared to when the Waves Renaissance plug ins were released once) doesn´t necessarily mean they ain´t gonna work anymore. Cheers. Last edited by VRW; 03-20-2017 at 11:52 AM. |

Re: The Waves Renaissance Plugins
Renaissance Compressor is still one of the most used. And the fact that Waves chose that algorithm to their hardware boxes says a lot.

Re: The Waves Renaissance Plugins
They get enough use here that I will never sell them. The Renn De-esser is my "go to"

Re: The Waves Renaissance Plugins
Waves scores well in this Fab video on how various De-Essers deal with the “Esses”:
How to use a De-esser on vocals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY--yk11EF4 Looks at DIGIRACK De-esser/dbx 902 (hardware insert)/Massey DE:Esser/Waves Renaissance DeEsser (with its Range feature + Split Mode)/OXFORD SUPRESSER/Eiosis E²Deesser The Eiosis adds an interesting "different kettle of fish" ....

Re: The Waves Renaissance Plugins
Ashamed? :) Latest does not always mean greatest, as well as old does not mean bad, and I believe Waves updates them. I use them regularly too, especially RComp, RBass and RVox. RComp is awesome.

Person 1) Have you upgrading to the latest version? Person 2) No, I'm still on X.X Person 1) Dude, you gotta have the newest version, you can (insert feature). Person 2) I have no need for (insert feature... let's say freezing a track), I need TDM latency. Person 1) Good lord, you are still on that ancient technology? 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!
