Hey guys I'm looking for quality style plugin compression for extra options, It seems that some of bomb factory and the UAD 1 have made versions of the same compressors or at least similar ones? sound quality wise which is more effectve? Lets assume I have access to both Pro Tools and nuendo or Samplitude for this. how does the Waves4 stuff stack up. thanks ;)

quality wise, waves will always compare.. but the uad-1 is a dsp
quality wise, waves will always compare.. but the uad-1 is a dsp card.. its not taking away from you host cpu..waves do.. i've used both time after time and i mainly use waves in my spot b/c i don't have a uad-1 right now..
a bomb factory copy that works very well and sounds great. nomad factory.. i use the compressors mainly with N2.. they sound very smooth and transparent

Howdy
I wouldn't buy either BF or UA on their sounding "just like" the gear they attempt to emulate. Rather, buy them on their usefulness to you on the system you use. If you use Logic (for example) you can use both. If you use Pro Tools, you can use BF.
Although, see my other note about being able to use VST plugs in PT...whee!
bombfactory/sintefex.. i use (real) ureis on a daily basis, and

i use (real) ureis on a daily basis, and to my ears the bombfactory doesn't even come close..
the sintefex digital hardware replicators though, sound even better than the real ones!! i guess they sampled a better one than the ones we have...the fairchild and summit in the sintefex also sound reaaallly good, i've never used the originals, but i'm guessing they also sound really close to the original...
the uads i've never used...
oh, and i think the waves rcl is one of the best compressors ever...
UA says BF is not close, and BF shoots back. I've heard good thi
UA says BF is not close, and BF shoots back. I've heard good things about both. Waves does not offer any of thos specific models, but it does have a renaissance package to enter into the foray. I've heard that Waves ren can't touch either BF or UAD.
