Well, the OP is clearly not a native English speaker and seemed to only be able to find tutorials for Waves plugins. I was pretty careful to say a better rewording of the question MIGHT be...jancivil wrote:My honest answer will be, "I don't know if you can get pro results to begin with". And 'pro results', what is that exactly? So as a thread, it becomes a wider issue for discussion. I think to try and frame people's remarks as 'changing the question' from the OP is a distorting maneuver as though in service of winning an argument and not too useful.djscorb wrote:I think it's pretty clear what that the OP wants to know.
However, a better wording of his question might be;
"Can I make professional mixes using only stock DAW and FREE plugins or do i need to spend a lot of money?"
The answer to that would clearly be yes you can get pro results without spending extra cash on plugins.
I also think the term professional results is pretty well understood in this context by most of us here. Could a professional and skilled engineer get great results with stock DAW and free plugins? I think yes.
I and plenty of my peers are professionals and I know most of them share this view. Do I only use stock and free plugins? No, but I spend a long time considering my purchases and the main reason for buying a processor is to solve a problem that is either more time consuming or difficult to achieve with my current tools or to speed up and make my workflow more enjoyable.
