to have many plugins of same sort, same type, IS finally the key to learn which ones work best for one self.
More than just that:
Dealing with many of same, side by side, creates a much higher contrast vs. our own perceiption of these single plugins. It´s way easier to start to see the specific charateristics. Afterwards, after having had them side by side would i hear them different. Instead of a Reverb that sounds just nice. Would i hear and understand "why" it sounds nice to me.
The win in having many plugins can totally lie on such sides, rather than beeing a direct win.
with Reverbs for example have i landed in the "should sound neutral" land.
I for example don´t like that studio Reverb sound of the past.
It was allready "in small" what has turned nowadays into a pester: clickbait it, overemphasize the things, make it more than just good or better etc.
SW wins by having options. And in fact, so was it for many with HW.*
There was a reason why big studios just had the better sound. They knew which tool works best on what.
That knowledge comes from somewhere. ......From having options. Compare the things side by side. It will teach you.**
*/** That´s how i see it.
It´s the same again right now, just ITB with SW.
And: now available for nearly everybody of us.
Looks good to me![;)]( "Wink")
