Waves API Collection

they emulate API and they sound good, better than the URS counterparts

but they don't sound like hardware
 
at the AES convention a few weeks ago, API's booth had a whole section dedicated to a Waves plug-in....I haven't used them but they are definitely confident in putting their name on someone else's product, so it must sound pretty damn good
 
i got so frustrated with trying to get the demo working (waves are a fucking nightmare) that i gave up and bought MH channel strip and sonnox eq, and massey tapehead instead
