Alot of plugin sales-fabfilter won't be competing
Izotope OZONE is only 199$, Waves is 50% on some of their plugins, Ilio just sent me some sale coupons, they are all affordable..... however, i like fabfilter pro q, but according to my account there, they do not offer screaming deals...
so i wrote them an email asking if they would match the price of the mastering bundle of Ozone, for 199, at fabfilter I would have to spend 120$ MORE for less features and plugins..... they finally wrote back to me and said sorry charlie, we are expensive and we know it, and we dont want to participate in the discount sale frenzy of the other companies.... I was like, daym.. had to try though...
OZONE has the works, but PROQ is as much as the whole Ozone package that is wack!

It's just digital EQ. You buy its UI and function. Not sound. There is no need to wait their sale unless you can't live without their UI. Get same result with the other tools.
Re: Alot of plugin sales-fabfilter won't be competing
Not true. They (FabFilter) know how to build very good quality digital filters and in my own experience the EQ is very very clean. The LPF is of very good quality. For me FabFilter plugins aren't just about the GUI.pencilrocket wrote:It's just digital EQ. You buy its UI and function. Not sound.

My two cents.

Re: Alot of plugin sales-fabfilter won't be competing
I use pro-q simply because of the color scheme and how precise it is. I have tried Ozone on my friends computer wasn't impressed by it...
It doesn't make it sound any different, and Ozone seems to have more features anyways with the multi-band and what not.

I'll take Fabfilter over Ozone any day.

I'm beta testing Live 9 now. You may want to wait to try the updated EQ with 9 if you plan on updating.

I picked up Wave H-EQ as it works out under £50. But anyway, Ozone is intended for mastering, so its a different set of plugins compared to what Fabfilter offer.

Re: Alot of plugin sales-fabfilter won't be competing
Ozone is a good plug in, I just think it has a lot of clutter most people don't need for mastering their own work. A good EQ and a good Limiter will set most people on the right path IMVHO.

+1. I chose eQuality over Pro-Q myself for my day to day mastering, very flexible and great sounding EQ.remute99 wrote:Sage wrote:I picked up Wave H-EQ as it works out under £50. But anyway, Ozone is intended for mastering, so its a different set of plugins compared to what Fabfilter offer.

I thought about this, but PROQ is gorgeous. I know the new Live 9 eq will have a spectrum analyzer and maybe all I need for mastering my own... however, the limiter and compressor on Live leaves alot to be desired...the fabfilter ones look like they blow away lives . I have also read that with ozone one can really muck up their mix easily.
Re: Alot of plugin sales-fabfilter won't be competing
Live's comp is really good to be fair. Plus with The Glue now being part of Live and that being one of the best software comps out there... That said, I am interested in a 3rd party comp just to have something familiar in both Live & Logic and I don't like Logic's comp to start with.
Re: Alot of plugin sales-fabfilter won't be competing
I have to agree, I was VERY impressed with the new Live 9 EQ and comps, they sound really nice.

Re: Alot of plugin sales-fabfilter won't be competing
so do you think they (comp and eq) compete with high quality plugins, like fab or ozone, or waves? I am on the fence , since I have not heard Live 9 new plugins yet..i have to take this forums advice on my decisions... it would save me over 200$ if i didn't buy these plugins from fabfilter.Tarekith wrote:I have to agree, I was VERY impressed with the new Live 9 EQ and comps, they sound really nice.

I've been leaning towards Ozone. Tell me more about Fabfilter.
