Along with being an aficionado (a more delicate way of saying snob) about the delay, I happen to be one with tremolo. Soundtoys also make one of the only tremolo plugins I like. For me, this issue overrides the sound quality, and I don't use it.īut, I don't have that experience with EchobBoy. It's too complicated to use in the heat of battle. But, every time I open it, my eyes freak out.

I can always find what I need without scratching my head.įor example, there has been one delay plugin with a tone I like. The layout of Soundtoys plugins makes sense. I've been on sessions where engineers had the choice of 20 compressors but didn't know the ins and outs of many. With plugins, things can be even worse because the isn't a space limit to how many plugins you can own. Even if I need to tweak, the sound begins flattering. I do, but if a plugin isn't inspiring me, I move on. I don't mean to imply I don't twiddle some knobs. I will swap out gear more then I will tweak endlessly.

I'm not the sort of person who will tie in a piece of hardware or a plugin and tweak for hours. I will admit that I'm a real stickler about first impressions when it comes to gear. I haven't felt like it was a replacement for any of my echos. Soundtoys has done a great job of inserting the essence of each of the classic style delays into EchoBoy. I've gotten pretty used to the operational quirks of these units.
