Hi all, intermediate here looking to upgrade for more flexible software tools.
I'm considering either getting 8 plugins from IK Multimedia with their group buy at 150 dollars or getting the Soundtoys 5 Academic Bundle for 150 dollars.
I will use it for sound design, mixing and mastering all kinds of music and game audio.
I have Komplete 12 Ultimate and I don't feel it offers many effects (except replica xt) and mixing/mastering tools I will want to use in the long run. I do like guitar rig though. I use Cubase 10 Pro at the moment, but sometimes work in Live, PT and Reaper so that is why I don't use the plugins in Cubase much.
I own Eventide Blackhole which is fantastic and Izotope essential versions of neutron 3, ozone 8, nectar and Trash 2.
Now i am quite hesistant to Soundtoys because of the UI, it seems small, hard to use and read from - its all very black. But I know that many of the plugins are industry standard and awesome for sound design. What are your experience?
I am not that familiar with IK Multimedia and the plugins they offer but it is great value with the group buy - any recommendations?
Thoughts on which way a to go?
Much appreciated!
