Hi Everyone, (first post here)
was considering buying the UAD-1 Roland Dimension D. to use mastering purpose's, 

home project studio mastering that is,  would like other's opions on this. 

it'd be helpful as i am a compulsive audio gear shopper. (i need help... ;-)

thnx

I have the Dim D and I really like it. I reluctantly decided against the 
Roland Chorus and Space Echo even with a discount coupon because I didn't think 
they were worth expense and similar effects could be gotten in other ways. But 
Dimension D has a sweet sound to it.

The DD is a nice plugin but for mastering? If you don't own any of  
the precision range and mastering is the main aim then I would  
definitely look there first... The three precision plugins make up  
just about the finest mastering chain I've ever seen in the digital  
realm.

Kind regards

Aye! you're right, it's not for mastering. thought it was some type of spacializer,
but i did buy it anyway....(whince)

Thanks for the responses guys.

I have the Precision Limiter and i agree, am in love with that thing. use it all the time. the 
EQ i don't have but will check out, and the multi-band,..well,...afraid of it but maybe i'll get 
down to it and learn it.

btw - i own the hardware Roland Space Echo. got it on E-bay awhile back. have no 
workspace to set it up.

It really is a chorus type thing.

The EQ and MB are excellent. I was a bit scared of the MB as well. I  
really only got it because UA offered me a deal to get the EQ and MB  
since I already owned the PL. Boy I'm happy I did. Even though most  
of my very serious mastering is done by my mastering guy these  
plugins really raise the bar on my own mastering attempts.

I reckon the Space echo is more useful and unique than the Dimension  
D. Particularly with guitars. I don't own either but I really enjoyed  
the demos... One day.
