Do you recommend new Arturia FX Collection?

I see it positive:
an opportunity to tell the critical crowd that Logic Pro is a cool and comprehensive DAW.

I'm quite happy with my Logic Pro.
It's FX are top quality.
I doubt that most FX on the market are really better (in terms of hearing a difference in a mixed track) than these.

... than the stock Logic tools? I've been a Logic user since it was Creator in 1987, all through it's rebranding as Logic through the decades, up to and including now. I can tell you, in my opinion, Logic's stock tools are a great starting point and have a lot of life in them for sure. But 3rd party tools go beyond Logic both in terms of features and sound quality. I no longer use Logic's built-in plugins. I just started to migrate to Reaper from Logic because I am tired of Logic's bugs, quirks and most important reduced CPU performance - Reaper is much better for me in this regard and since I don't use Logic's plugins it makes it a lot easier to switch DAWs.

I stick to my statement.

I'm generally not a big fan of bundles. You almost always buy a lot of things you never use afterwards. That's why I'm skeptical about the FX Bundle. There is actually no plugin that I really need. I also have the Plate plugin which Arturia gave away... but I would say: very nice but I can live without it

You always have to test it yourself, especially since Arturia's plugins are easy to demo. Is it worth to buy one plugin separately or are you interested in several plugins where the bundle is cheaper?
Demo it and write down what you want to have and then calculate what is cheaper... buy the single plugins or the complete bundle.

(I would not buy the bundle myself, for the reasons explained above)

I would say they are pretty much perfectly doing what they say on the tin. That includes resizeable GUIs, low CPU-consumption and reasonable features. And hence they are head and shoulders above most of what they compete with.

Has anyone compared the trident preamp to the softube version?

I recently demod 8 of the 15 plugins to see if it is worth buying for 199€. The effects are definately pretty good, but i did not find anything revolutionary in them. Since i already have a lot of highly versatile and advanced plugins for all these effect types (Echoboy, Relayer, Valhalla VintageVerb, Presswerk etc.) i found that these plugins offer nothing new for me. I liked the Intensity Reverb the most overall.
So as always, it all depends on which plugins you already have.

Well not revolutionary, though Eternity and Intensity do offer a few creative options you don't really see elsewhere. Plus all the other emulations have additional features making them much more flexible. So I do see a bit of revolutionary stuff, but nothing that jumps ahead in leaps and bounds.

Although this is just compressors, pres, delay and reverb. It's never har to redefine the future with basic modules. It's it's the clever combination of technology we start to see more revolutionary things, such as Scheps Omni or the CLA MixHub. Then there is stuff like Ozone and Neutron with their "assistant" technology.

I just picked up the FX Collection... which oddly doesn't include the Modulation bundle. That's my only complaint. Get those too, you won't want to miss them.

To be honest, I'm blown away. They all sound fantastic, and have a lot of fun modulation stuff that makes them even cooler than the originals. Arturia has really upped their game lately. Not only are the emulations seemingly dead on (hard to tell, I've owned some of the originals but not in decades) but the original effects are also fantastic. I started a thread about a delay with a good filter in the delay path. In the end I started using The Drop inside Bitwig's delay (quite good) but what I was really looking for was Delay Eternity. It has completely stopped all GAS for an OTO BIM and it does so much more. Again, I'm really, really impressed and I've not even gotten to the compressors.

You making me want to take mine off sale and keep them!

GAS? Yes. OTO BIM? No idea what that means. Meaning please?

That’s the name of a hardware delay.

Eternity and Intensity i would definitely put at the head of the bundle - really cool and interesting. Next it would be filters (M12 and SEM). In principle, i would take only these four, and could assume that I did not miss anything. (But was very good offer so i did grab all bundle).
Comp's\Preamps - not my cup of tea (well let them be). Spring reverb..by sound i more liked psp's springbox a bit (and less eat cpu). Two other delays..quite not a bad ofcourse (could put after filters), but not critically, and IK's SpaceDelay character i liked more than in Tape-201.
Something like that.
