 ====== Plugins ======
-My goal when using plugins is mainly to recreate either the live or studio environment that Zeppelin played in, especially Olympic Studios in London. Luckily Universal Audio has enough recreations of gear used at Olympic, where Zeppelin recorded a huge portion of their studio work, to begin to approximate recording there. Good enough for bedroom Olympic anyway!

   * Then it's some plate echo, usually their [[https://www.uaudio.com/products/emt-140|EMT 140 Classic Plate Reverberator]], which, of course, is what they used at Olympic. Sometimes I use their [[https://www.uaudio.com/products/pure-plate-reverb|Pure Plate Reverb]], as it sounds great as well.

-  * Then it's a tape emulation of some kind, to get just a bit of analog flavor. I use it for both live and studio tones, as most (all?) audience or soundboard bootlegs were recorded to some sort of tape or another. I'm still early on in playing with the different tape plugins, but thus far I've used [[https://www.uaudio.com/products/ampex-atr-102|Ampex ATR-102 Mastering Tape]] and [[https://www.uaudio.com/products/studer-a800-tape-recorder|Studer A800 Multichannel]]. Both are pretty subtle, but still fun to have in the chain.

UA [[https://www.uaudio.com/products/waterfall-rotary-speaker|has a plugin for that too!]]
+===== Other Plugins/Companies =====
+I don't have much in the way of other company's plugins, mainly because I'm fairly invested in the UA ecosystem. I do have some plate reverbs that sound good, but only UA effects can be added to my interface preamp without latency, and that's big for me.
+I would like to find a plugin recreation of the RCA BA-6A limiting amplifier/compressor, which according to the Jimmy Page Anthology book, he used for lots of stuff. UA doesn't make one, and I'm not sure anyone does yet.
