    ...to UAD Apollo: The sound quality is astounding, Unison for recording, great plugins and user community, and now LUNA for Windows. 

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    GIna -> Tascam FW-1884 -> RME UFX ->  (3) UAD x8p and (1) x4

    I also have an audient asp800 ADAT/Lightpipe extender for any DI or extra mic feeds.

    I believe you are in the wrong forum, good sir.

    (I agree with the implementation being sub par, but SoundID has profiles for my Arya and Hi-X65 that Realphones doesn’t have so it’s better than nothing)

    I bought my HD650 cans from Sonarworks with a custom profile.

    There's so many to choose from in VST format that it gets difficult to decide. They don't all sound the same. In the end I landed on the one that came with the DAW I use. I think it was a reasonably priced add-on iirc. 

    I always liked the one that comes with GR too, but it's too difficult to use wrapped up in the GR package.

    There was a free one floating around for years that the internet forums raved about saying it was identical to the hardware. It sounded awful to me. Maybe I just don't like what they do and the one I ended up with was altered enough to where I did. 🤷‍♂️

    Distressors shine best on real/live kick and snare in the aggressive genres. What instruments are you trying these VSTs on?

    Nice rack. 

    Pun intended.

    On a serious note, what does the distressor do? I've never seen or heard of a unit like that.

    It's a compressor. And a little more. It's touted as a LA2A and 1176 in one unit.

    There are some good emulations out there. The native UAD version is available as well as Slate and some others I can't remember right now.

    So, all the magic is in the label maker, ya?  Like, if you put "Coffee Maker" on one of the units then that's what it will do, right? 😆

    If only I drank coffee, or wine or beer or whiskey etc.

    Maybe I'll just label one "Plugin Acquisition Manager".

    @Bapu

    After running kick and snare through Distressor do you also run them through the drum buss and the Heritage? Or you keep them separate?

    The first mix I did I put the affected Distressor kick and snare thru the Heritage compressor.

    Foot note: the DAW I use allows me to decide the balance between wet and dry for the Distressors. The goal will be to find the right balance between the tracks with Distressors and the pushing into the Heritage.
