Waves Abbey Road Plate vs UAD EMT 140 Plate!

Heres' a quick demo comparing the Waves Abbey Road Plate and the Universal Audio EMT 140 Plate reverb plugins. I'm sending audio to both plugins simulaniously from a Rhodes piano and a Snare Drum. I'm then muting and unmuting the output of each reverb every few measures. I tried to match each verb's sound as best I could, but didn't get too picky. I realize they're not "identical" sounding, but, they're fairly close;-) As always, demo this stuff for yourself and see what you think!

VIs used in this video include:
Velvet (electric piano),
Steven Slate Drums SSD4 using the stock "Liverpool Tight"kit

Other Waves plugins include:
CLA Mix, SSL G Channel, Slate Tape and Isotope 7 Maximizer

Logic 10.3.2 MIDI Plugin Freeze Bug Workaround!

Have you discovered the dreaded Logic 10.3.2 muted audio after you try to freeze a MIDI Channel strip bug? I hadn't until recently as I rarely have to freeze my MIDI tracks. I was trying to freeze a Waves Grand Rhapsody piano one day and couldn't do it as after each attempt I didn't hear anything. It wasn't until I discovered that the MIDI Plugin I had inserted was the culprit. Here's a workaround until Apple fixes the problem. Incidentally, possibly the more obvious workaround is to just bounce in place the MIDI channel strip and then disable the instrument.
