high i have been using cubase for a while now and was hopeing that if i was to put some info about some of the plugins i have others could do the same i will add 4 on a weekly basis and also put my own review or tips on.

zootope ozone 3
64 bit processing mastering plugin, sample rates upto 192 Khz, 150 parameters for automation, 3 all in eq system that offer linear phase, matching. multi band harmonic exciter. 4 bands of multi dynamics, limiting expansion and compression. mastering reverb. multi band stereo imaging for increasing widness with in mixs. sound maximizer. dither option for mastering.

this bit of kit is superb evry body who is serious about quality needs to have this, it can be used obviously as a mastering tool but it can also be placed in the effects panel and used to carve an individual track rather than the whole mix i quite of use this to widen and enhance piano and the result is superb.

battery is an emense package that allows you to trigger wav files using the midi drum map, one of the things i have done recently is set up my drum from hell and worked down my drum map placing them in my midi block at every bar
once i had every thing in a long midi loop i exported it as a wav i then re imported it, using my scisors cut out each wave file and imported them individually to a folder, this then made them accessable in battery which is great because i have the best quality drums but with all the editing facilities that battery has worked a treat.


READ ME READ ME READ ME

i have selcted these for plugins for a reason is the process i used to convert dfh samples into midi was great but by applying wave arts and ozone 3 the effect were incredable for instance when you change the velocity on the snare drum you can alter the reverb paramter accordingly, or even spread the cymbals and hats creating a bigger fuller drum sound, whilst then using the multi dynamics 5 to create overall room ambience its a must try tell me what you think would like some feed back

evry body who is serious about quality needs to have this,

Hmmm. This is "interesting". This is the usual home recording marketing methodology. I'll stick to what I have, thank you.

64 bit processing mastering plugin

Could you explain to me what 64 bit means? and Why does a person need a plugin for mastering?

I appreciate your reviews on the other plugins, though.
