Charlie, I love your scenario about PG walking away! Well, except for that last part about the price. smile

I apologize for my rude-sounding comment about not being impressed. I reread it and it was not nice nor necessary!

You missed my point about using technology. It is NOT about presets. But it is about the tool getting out of my way so I can do the art. As an example, I really do not like Realband because of how clunky and slow it is sometimes. Waiting for the scrolling to catch up and having the mouse disappear for several seconds while it appears to be locked up is just unacceptable in a GUI in 2018. And that frustration definitely negatively affects my creativity.

Regarding whether the Waves plug matches the Universal Audio 1176, I doubt very many people would care! All of these plugs that claim to perfectly emulate Abbey Road Studios' Reverb Plate Room or whatever are just marketing hype! If I can produce a great track no one (except me) cares how I achieved it.
