heya...

I just bought an upgrade box to Pro Tools LE 7 and it comes with two free plug-ins... and you can choose those two out of this list

Pultec Bundlle
DINR
Slightly Rude Compressor
Smack!
Synchronic

well I'll be choosing the Smack! for sure but I'm not sure wether to take the Slightly Rude Compressor or the Pultec Bundle as the second choice

any views on those???

cheers,
mully

i would go for the pultecs, or do you really need two compressors ?

if you dont get an answer here you can always ask or search at http://duc.digidesign.com/

Ask at the music computers forum on
www.gearslutz.com
The majority of people on there are pro tools users so should give you a useful opinion.

good point.... and well I already have T-RackS and some other compression tools so I might be going for the pultec bundle

okay so after some forum reading I ended up with the Pultec Bundle and Smack!

and my inital tests are very satisfying....

Smack! really doesn't leave much place for another compressor it's pretty versatile and looks good

and the Pultec Stuff - well no clue if it sounds like a real Pultec (never heared one in action) but it sounds really different from other EQs I tried so far and very musical....

not bad for spending €20 extra

cheers,

Hi multree,

I have chosen exactly the same plugins (Smack! and Pultec Bundle) and I love 'em. If you have a flat drum track, Smack! will give it the punch and Pultec the transparency your mix deserves. Pultec is the wonder-box I've been waiting for so long.

If you have a few more bugs left, get Moogerfooger Analog Delay, it's awesome. It perfectly fits the sound of Smack! and Pultec.

So... happy mixin'

i ended up not getting the free bundled plugins for certain reasons but i did consider Synchronic. I heard demos of it and i just couldn't figure out what is unique about that plugin. does anyone use it and stand by it?

Pultec would be my first choice and the BF emu is very good, then I'd choose between comps(most likely Smack).

ProTools 7 PLUS - Slightly rude or Pultec
