What do you think about the effects included in T-Racks 6 MAX, regarding EQ and compressors, versus the one provided by komplete 15?
are IK effects better than NI ones or having both is redundant?

IK are better and more comprehensive. But they’re still not as good as UADx, Brainworx, or NoiseAsh.

IK’s wheelhouse is ampsim and physical modeling (MODO BASS, MODO DRUM, B-3X.)

they are different - both have some really great stuff, while some other of their plugins are more so so - both are better than UAD, Brainworx and Noise Ash however...

Thanks a lot!
What do you think is the greatest from the two packages?

Komplete 15 Standard is certainly infinitely more versatile than T-Racks...
even FX-wise, considering that it includes Guitar Rig 7, which is quite the multi-fx-rack on its own (containing (sometimes somewhat stripped-down versions of) basically all of their processors)...

then there's the plethora of instruments.

I agree on the GR7, though as far as I know the included fx are not stripped down. Replika XT is split into two modules, but everything else is there. Only missing NI's Vari Comp and Passive EQ.

I think you could master a record using GR7. My only problem with it (and NI as a whole) is the fact that their plugin ID's are always new with a new version. I like when manufacturers make the updates compatible with older versions and don't add a new number to plugin's ID.

Otherwise, GR7 Pro can replace in no particular order: Soundtoys Complete (yes, you can get a similar sound to Decapitator in Kolor and other modules, Supercharger GT is basically a clean Devil-Loc, you can "make" your own EchoBoy too, etc.), SSL Bus Comp, SSL Channelstrip, it includes an LA-2A, an 1176 and a DBX comp. The modulation options all sound great, everything is well-made.

They should rename it to "Komplete FX" at this point. It's name doesn't do it justice.
