Looks dope.
How does this compare to the URS A-Series, Waves API 550A/B and Waves V-Series EQs? I love those fucking EQs.
The Trident has it's own unique flavor.... it adds a silky sparkle on the highs & and does well creamin' the mids... The filters are awsome... However, I do think that the Waves V-Series would do better on the bass & lower frequencies...
Although I've never used the Wave's V-Series, I regularly use the UAD Neve series - which are the officially liscensed emulations of the Neve 1073, 1081 (monster on bass & my fav), 88 RS channel strip, 33609 (one of the best plug-in compressors of all time *No Kanye*) & newly released 31102 ... I'm sure the differences between the Waves & the UA versions aren't that drastic... but since UA works closely with Neve I'll rock with them...
I've heard great things about Waves' API series & would be interested in trying them out, but Waves' WUP policies are a turn off... I think I'd rather get the hardware EQ's in the form of the 500 series lunchbox - since they can be had for non-rediculous prices... no WUP, no problems with OS updates & the price of outboard gear retains it's value much better than thier software counterparts... the cool thing about plug-ins tho is total recall & the ability to use as many instances as your CPU can handle...
At the end of the day, many folks use waves cuz they're free if you work on a PC lol...
UA's DSP card (where the signal processing takes place, similar to ProTools' HD Accel cards) also acts as a dongle - preventing their software from being cracked...
I've heard good things about URS as well although I've never tried..
