Just thinking out loud as I've been down the same path as you and made some dumb choices on plugins I never use. Do you have good room treatment? Are your studio monitors dialed in? Do you have great virtual instruments? Maybe want to upgrade the silverface Apollo to a new version and get the bundle price (i.e. Me personally, I wouldn't drop $1600 on a UAD 8x bundle right now, unless you have a stimmy check burning a hole in your pocket (pop culture reference that only applies in the US) or really want to shore up holes in your UAD plugin game.

You would need to play around with your UAD shopping cart to see if these would really come out to $200+/ea to make the 8x bundle worth it, but I kind of doubt it. Honestly, the 1073 > 1176 > EMT140 is a killer/iconic combo, but API and SSL pres get a lot of use, as well as LA2A and Distressor or similar to cover various colors.

Additionally, this is usually the expensive stuff so I'm not sure you need to throw more money at it as you are only going to get marginal gains.ĭepending on the type of music you do, it seems like you are a little light on choices for unison pre's and compressors. You actually have really good 'time domain' plugins already like verbs, modulation, etc. The UAD forum is probably better for guys that actually know their stuff, but my advice is free so take it for what's its worth
