One day I'll fly away!
Since about a week or so I completed the Waves H-Series through the plugin deals they have going on right now. I already had the H-Comp and H-Delay through the Gold bundle, and recently added the H-EQ and H-Reverb.
My question is, why does nobody talk about these on this forum?
I ask this because I find them to be really, really great! They have recently become my go-to plugins on many orchestral applications. It is strange, because they aren't really advertised as being made with the orchestral user in mind, but then again, tools are tools and it is about the way you use them.
But seriously, the H-Comp has got to be my most used compressor ever. It's so silky smooth, especially on drums. Then there's the H-EQ that is really cool for it's many EQ curves per frequency band (7 per band, from vintage to digital). It can be as smooth and as precise as one wishes it to be.
The H-Delay has also become my go to delay. I love that it can be as clean and as analog as one wishes.
But the H-Reverb takes the cake. I've never heard an algorithmic reverb sounding so smooth and unobtrusive whilst at the same time giving me so many options over controlling the sound. It's like a reverb creator. Now, I also have EW Spaces, which is the finest convolution reverb all in all to me, and IR1, which I use when I want to try something different (and, even though old, is still really good). But the H-Reverb has completely changed my mind about algorithmic reverbs. There's none of that inherent 'fakeness' that I hear with so many algorithmic reverbs. Of course, if you want to have that pure 80's Phil Collins gated snare drum verb, you can make it, but you get the point.
The power of these plugins lies in the Hybrid moniker. They can sound as digital or perfect or as analog or dirty as you want them to be.
So why have I never seen a thread about them here? If you can, try them, especially the H-Comp and H-Reverb. You might be very pleasantly surprised!
