Since I own both I may try to find a snippet that could benefit from that comparison. ?

Included in Mercury, so...... Installed!

Reaper should be 0, Kenny Goia (sic?) does a great job (for free) doing fairly deep dives into the product.

Yup, coupled with my Console 1, I'm in "controller heaven".

Naiz.

WRT to mics, some people will sell their animals to have (the right) over 10 year old mic. ?

Part 2: Installed!

Keep Coming Back Kenny.

I use ATH-M50x for drummer to wear during recording (reduces bleed) and since I'm in the same room with the drummer I wear them too. I use (mainly) Sonarworks profiled Sennheiser HD650s for mixing, and if I'm in the mood I'll use Slate VSX to get a flavor of different environment reactions to my mix. I also have a pair of HD-600s (non-profiled) and Ultimate Ears (in ear) reference monitors with personal molded earpieces. If and when I want to use actual speakers I have first generation IKM iLoud MTMs with an Adam 8" subwoofer. I rarely have a vocalist in my home studio but I have available an AEA R84 ribbon mic, Slate VMS ML-1 and Slate preamp, Townsend Labs Sphere mic with all the UAD available mic modeling profiles and an AKG C414 form the 80s that was modded to be transformer less.

I own everything Kuassa, including 360. I redeemed the poweramp, while I already had all three gainia pedals in my account with licenses available to download. I too had the $12.64 offer but simply did not take it. Like you @Greg my account has been kind of messed up all along too.

Installed!

Seriously though, UAD hardware based Unison plugins with an Apollo interface is the way to go. Recording a band, you want a Neve preamp for the guitar, API for the drums, Helios on the bass, Avalon, SSL or Manly on the vocals? Either printed to tracks or just monitored? No problem. You monitor thru UAD's Console app (not the DAW). DAW runs at 2048 buffers but the Console APP is "latency free". It's a joy to work in.

I get all the native UAD plugins for free* * I perk of owning all the "dongle" based versions.

Dead jokes, I lith-um-on other forums and still get a negative volt.

So, $149 for X7/Spectral Layers upgrade, now with Faderport and Console 1 support. Or, $0.00 for already owned Studio One 6 with Faderport and Console 1 support. ??????

I'm still kinda pi$$ed that I missed out on that "special" sale of $49 at MF about 7-10 years ago.

I better destroy my collection then.
