Even though fab filter sound great I have my templates setup with waves, so go to them through habit and workflow. Plus I have controllers mapped to them to give me fixed channel strip controls per channel.
Moved from Logic a year ago and I’m not overly blown away with Cubase stock Plugins. However, as I use the waves bundles I’ve not really invested much time in them either to give a valid opinion.
I do love the concept of having channel strip controls in Cubase but the included Plugins within the strips just don’t act how I expect. I really should spend time to learn them better.
