Smaller footprint ....sounds reasonable.

I use a workaround and place Ozone in busses. I set up a vox buss and use it there. Not as precise as one instance per track.... but in most cases, for my purposes, it really doesn't have to be. Often, all the BGV's will be treated generally the same way, so a buss instance works for me.

Aside from having a computer that I have never been able to choke with plugins..... I tend to have around 6 to 8 plugs and rarely more than 10 to 12 in a huge project. The majority of those are cake defaults and very light on the processing end of things. I know Ozone and Melodyne are the "big ones" and sometimes have 2 or 3 O4's in the project. Melodyne is always applied destructively to the tracks immediately after the work with it is accomplished.


But, yes, I can see how Alloy might work for some folks in that manner.

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
