TL/DR : Does anyone have AH and Soundtoys 5? I’ve got an AH…tell me why I should also get Soundtoys.
Long story :
I recently bought an Analog Heat (from a fellow Elektronaut) and love it. I tend towards subtle use and it has a massive effect on making a mix alive, more vibrant and a little crunchy. The EQ, filter and LFO effects are also very cool.
Before I jumped on this though I was waiting for the Soundtoys sale to get the complete collection at a good price. Their summer sale just started and I can get ST5 for $205 as I already own Echoboy Jr.
Now I’ve got AH though I’m thinking that covers (and in a much nicer way) the Decapitator, Devil-loc, Filterfreak, Sie-Q and Radiator. And even to some extent the Phaser and Tremolator with LFO routing on the AH. I’m not really interested in the crystalizer or any vocal effects.
So really that just leaves the full Echoboy which I’ve trialled and it’s very nice. That’s $99 in the sale so should I just get the full suite for $205 or not waste my money and use the AH for all of those effects (excl. delay)? I’ve got 2 weeks to decide
