[The Telenator]

Thanks for that bit of information from both of you on the Melda plugins. I may have to look into those again because it has been a while. Even so, and I’m not sure which plugins come in their intro bundle anymore, certain plugins they offer that I remember were outside the bundle were widely known and respected as some of the best for direct application to mastering. I’ve yet to buy any of them, but I’ve been tempted to look into a few.

My current collection is a complete hodge podge that I’ve collected along the way, from some of the best Sir Elliot plugins, on through Stardust, T Sledge and other ‘off-name’ brands. I’ve found several of GVST’s (the ‘jG’ skins are the easiest to deal with) very useful in spots.

I should mention to Chris that if you like those sturdy and simple Classic series, you might want to check out Blue Cat Audio’s free bundle. They are a little more modern and offer a few extra features. I love both series, really. For synths, if you have the standard disk from Computer Music mag, you can try the ZebraCM, which is actually just a ‘mag’ edition of Zebra 1, the original. But I’ve got to say, U-HE’s Diva, although certain hungry presets want to kill my PC(!), to me anyway, is the most awesome-sounding VA synth currently out there commercially. Synths such as Tyrell I use and are ‘ok’, but those were some of his earlier creations. Meanwhile, I really am getting more and more into Zebra2, ever since it has been turning up on movie soundtracks, the Batman movie most notable, of course.
