Good replacement choices?

[roadstar]

I have left myself only one day until the deadline to choose nine duplicated plugins in bundles I recently purchased. It is puzzling why I am presented with replacement selections most of which I already have,, but once I eliminate those, I have most of the Precision plugins, plus a few others, 1) the Tape Echo, 2)the Cooper Time Cube, 3) Dreamverb,
If I choose those three, I can choose six of the Precisions - I've chosen the Buss comp, Maximizer, Multi, EQ, Limiter and De-esser.
Is there one of these that I should forego to get either of the P Enhancers?

I've done some minimal research on these, been busy, so hoping for a suggestion. I sometimes find myself doing mastering as well but not sure I would use the Enhancers.

Thanks.

Depends on if you need those plugins at the moment or not.

If you want to play the “bundle” game, get all the precisions. They are not the most discounted during sales interestingly, but are needed to complete ultimate. Then you can get the remaining copper / tape echo for fairly cheap with coupons during future sales

I use Enhancer Hz often, Enhancer kHz less often. When I listen to a mix on different speakers and the bass has disappeared, I go to Enhancer Hz and it does a great job at making the bass audible across speakers/devices. Enhancer kHz helps when I want to put more into the upper frequencies easily, without pecking around with EQ trying to find the right changes.

1) the Tape Echo, 2)the Cooper Time Cube, 3) Dreamverb

for info. those 3 are currently $29, Precision, $49 (or more). Dreamverb, I am sure has some fan(s) though I’d hesitate to emphasise a plural here.

The only must-haves from that list are the Tape Echo (especially if you mean EP-34) and Cooper Time Cube. Precision Limiter and Precision Maximizer can be handy to have, too.

I've already just spent a lot of money on plugins so, as cheap as $29 is, I can't spend more. Plus, it's $40+ for me in Canada. The only reason I would include the Dreamverb is that I have that one already on my main system which I have used now and again. and being able to load a session onto my 2nd system with plugins is an advantage (although unfortunately only the plugin name comes across, not the settings).. I don't have an 'alt' utility reverb on my 2nd system., but I could pass on that one, and get a Precision enhancer instead.
Thanks for the info.

Yes, good choices, looking forward to checking out the Time Cube. And with a bit of mastering in my future, those Precisions for sure.

The thing is, I'm not the type to keep track of sales and such, and don't have more money to spend, so I think I'll go for the Precisions, including one of the Enhancers (haven't decided which one yet), plus the Cooper and Tape Echo. I think the Precisions could come in handy for mastering on my 2nd system.

Thanks. I think I'm tending towards not getting the Dreamverb and getting one of these instead, haven't quite decided yet. I think I may use the kHz, as it could add 'air' or space to a mix or instrument. But the Hz, could be pretty handy too. Hmm...

 

[roadstar]

And by the way, there isn't a single native plugin among these choices. Bit of a drag.

It kind of does the RBASS (Waves) thing, so, phantom bass for smaller speakers.

P.S. I think maybe some people replying here aren't understanding that you have 9 picks, from the limited selection of 25, and that you already have most of the plugins that are on the list. So really, it's a question of what to leave off, right? My vote is leave off dreamverb, simply because you have RealVerbPro already, for a utility/monitoring verb.

By the way, it says if I don't choose by May 14, they will choose for me. It's

Yes, what to leave off. Yes, I think I'll leave off the dreamverb and get one of the P Enhancers instead. I'm tending towards the kHz. I think I would use that one more.

So, I think I now have it worked it out now, the Tape Echo, Cooper, and 7 Precisions.

Thanks!

I agree that's the best way to go.

Only wiggle room there is to possibly take Cambridge over the Precision EQ, that is, if you are taking either one in the first place.

Gee I was thinking exactly the same thing. I have the Cambridge on my studio system but find myself not using it, that's why I didn't put it on my list. But was thinking about it right up until clicking that button.

I'd probably grab both enhancers over the EQ's, but to be fair, a lot of people don't use enhancer type plugins.
