Adobe Podcast AI Essential Sound VS Waves VST Plugins in Premiere Pro

Seems just about the same- I use Adobe Audition now, so what is the difference between AU and Adobe Premier?

I think the de-reverb sounded way better in the adobe AI version.

I thought they sounded similar until the de reverb. To my ear it didn't sound as good with Premiere. It sounded better with Waves.

The workflow of premiere is just not as a DAW workflow. Feature wise it’s fantastic

To my ears Waves did much better in the second and third example. The first one was very similar.

What are your thoughts. Which do you think sounds better Waves or Adobe Podcast?
