Thanks, andyath!
The Waves one sounds nice. I don’t have any other Wave plug-ins, will look at it some more, especially to see if it still needs an iLok (which I don’t have a need for otherwise). Will also check out ik … someone told me they are just 32-bit, but maybe that’s urban legend (have edited my post to 64-bit).
Softube - will keep in mind for down the road, though my task at hand is UAD-1 Fairchild replacement.
Thank you again!
