Looking into 500 series modules, specifically API. Now, with Waves releasing the API package, I'm distraught. On one hand, a lunchbox would give me more options into the world of these modules, on the other, I could save a few $$ and desk space.

What is your favorite digital ( plugin ) version and analog version for each of these (for mastering):

Limiting

EQ

Stereo Expansion

Compression

Reverb

Dither

Also, does anyone find the UAD-1 Precision Limiter to be better than Waves L2?

i have been mastering house and techno using Waves plugins for about 2 years now. mostly just for amatuer stuff and things i have produced as well.
