The Waves Ltd. Hybrid HDelay wasn't hard at all to install and it only took a few minutes to have it up and running.  I didn't have any compatibility issues or other problems as the process was virtually pain free.  The interface of the plug-in isn't too hard to follow even though there are a lot of features and parameters going on here.  The plug-in has parameters for delay level, feedback, delay time, output, dry/wet, analog, and sections for modulation and filters that each have a few of their own parameters.  Everything is clearly labeled and easy to understand so even those with not much experience with delay plug-ins shouldn't have too much of a problem figuring it out.  I don't have the manual for Waves Ltd. Hybrid HDelay so I can't say how helpful it would be or not.


SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Waves Ltd. Hybrid HDelay has always run pretty smoothly for me.  I have used the plug-in on a Pro Tools 8 HD system, so I didn't have much trouble running it at all but this really depends on what type of system you are running it on.  I have only had one of these up at a time as I always run my delay and reverbs on an aux channel as this helps to save processing power, but I imagine that if you wanted to run a few at once and you have a good system you should be able to do it.


OVERALL OPINION

I only recently started using the Waves Ltd. Hybrid HDelay as it is a pretty new plug-in in Waves' line of hybrid plug-ins and I'm definitely a fan of it.  It is easy to use but offers a wide array of parameters so the possibilities of different tones are pretty endless and they all sound pretty great.  While it doesn't sound exactly analog as it isn't, it does have a certain quality that most plug-ins don't have, which is pretty cool.  The price of the Waves Ltd. Hybrid HDelay isn't the cheapest, but if you buy it in a bundle you'll be able to save some dough.  All in all, the Waves Ltd. Hybrid HDelay is a really good sounding plug-in that I would definitely recommend.
