Are the stock Cubase Pro 11 plugins adequate for reverb, EQ and instrument placement?
I've been using a combination of VST MultiPanner, Imager and Frequency EQ for placement and REVerence or Raum for reverb and Ozone Elements (that I got as a freebie from NI). Using these tools, it's tricky for me to get things to sound naturally placed and together. I'm unsure if I need simply need to spend more time learning the process or if I should be looking at buying better tools. I work with dry live recordings (cello and vocals etc.) and a mix of dry and wet virtual instruments.
Do you recommend options like VSS2 or SP2016 for placement and early reflections and a premium reverb option for adding a nice tail? There's a bunch of stuff on sale right now so I've been looking into it. I used the demo version of VSS2 which is super fast and easy to use, but I've seen people say to avoid it.
What do you sugjest I do?
