Waves always seems to top what other companies do with their plugins, I'm sure this will be no different.

A fresh insert is necessary to use a different channel for each instance. You could click+drag an instance to another fx bin but it will use that same channel.

If you insert a new instance in X1 it automatically goes to the next open channel.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying: you can't click-drag to another channel, or that instance of NLS uses the identical channel modeling.

Is Sonar different? Not sure what your point is.

That's the funniest thing I've heard all day.
I honestly believe the exact opposite of that statement is true. RBass/MaxxBass are probably the only exceptions.

so how's the aliasing...?

That was pretty troll-y. I suspect the truth lies somewhere between.

I just think that with the quality of product available from the likes of FabFilter, PSP Audioware, UAD, Voxengo, Bootsy and the plethora of other small developers, Waves' products are pretty poor by comparison.
Of course there's a lot of opinion involved, but RBass, RVox and Vocal Rider are the only plugins I'm aware of that aren't outdone by another product.

That's what I meant, you can insert multiple instances with click+drag but it won't go to the next open channel.

I also notice a bit of strange behavior in X1. It doesn't always go to the next open channel, doesn't correct itself if you delete instances either. I have to purge it by closing/re-opening the project.

Sorry, looking back at that, I meant that the original Waves-fanboy poster was being (perhaps unwittingly?) troll-y. I just typed that and ran off to a meeting.

Yeah, well, it's just very subjective. The Fabfilter stuff is very different, too, and just wouldn't jibe with some people (not me, I love them). But I know what you mean. (They're also very expensive, a charge often levied against Waves.)

As a committed Waves user, I just find they bring a certain reliability and level of quality to their plugins that keeps me coming back. But of course, Fabfilter and other companies have superior offerings in some categories, that's why I don't use only Waves!

How do you know if it's going to the next open channel?

It was pretty troll-y sounding but it is my honest opinion.

I think the Waves versions of the SSL, API, 1176, and LA2A sound better than UA's or Softube's. I also think their tape sims sound better than the UAD, I think they overdrive is more pleasant and just sound "tapier" even if at the expense of complete authenticity. Their Puigchild compressor has enough love in the industry that Waves made a hardware version of it. The company obviously does something right when it comes to signal processing.

Hey man, you're preaching to the choir. I'm just saying: saying that Waves does everything better than everyone else around KVR will start a flame war faster than gasoline.

Yep, well said, mate.

Top of the channel, where presets A/B it will have the console name & number
visible. ( A: Spike 01, you can also use the forward/ back arrows to move through channels quickly)

It advances every time you insert an instance only it doesn't always do it sequentially & will skip channels.

well THAT'S not true, vocal rider simply doesn't work.

The melda auto volume absolutely annihilates it and makes it look like a first draught from the 80's of what a potential plug in might do if it worked.

Mate i am sitting here with a test file made specifically for riding plugins and vocal rider does barely anything even at the most extreme settings. I used to think i was crazy but other reports are popping up that i am indeed correct. expensive tripe. (and i am a waves fan overall i would say, maybe 50% of their stuff i like)
