Waves Element(29$ today only) vs Sylenth1(139eu permanently)

[e-crooner]

I've got it for free and with that price it's worth to have it.

Soundwise it is almost the opposite of Sylenth1 in my view. Element is a bit brutish and harsh. Good for more aggressive, weird sounds.

You should uninstall the plugins before you uninstall the Waves Central.

I found the Element VST3 shell thingy in Windows Explorer. Can I simply delete it or should I reinstall the whole Waves app in order to delete the plugin first?

I would do the latter. It's always cleaner that way, who knows if there isn't any registry keys left, or configuration files.

I actually found its oscillators to be "thick" by nature. Most synths you have to employ half a dozen techniques to thicken up a patch, that's not really the case here. Though, its been out for quite some time now and there are probably more modern entries on the market that get there as well.

It's not a wavetable synth, just a pure 2 oscillator, 1 sub, 1 noise basic type of synth, but it's thick.

Done
I deleted so much stuff from my computer yesterday, all demo versions of plugins, Thunderbird, Kaspersky, and various other programs and files

Yeah, sometimes you have to do the spring cleaning.

Autumn cleaning so to speak...
