VST Processing plugins

Post by GDOGG » Tue Apr 24, 2012 3:29 pm

Just wondering if anyone's got any suggestions for some good quality processing plugins, so compressors, filters, eqs, mainly the basics, but some good quality stuff that I can rely on?

Thoughts?

Cheers

Well.. I'd love to go out and purchase this... but I have so many other expenses, and other things going on right now. http://www.ikmultimedia.com/t-racks/features/

Mix and master with the, "deluxe," version. As a long time Amplitube User.. I just, simply can not say enough about the company. Buy this. Need anything else for a great mix/master? No. Simply.. No.

I find the ableton EQ and compressor to be pretty good but if your looking for VSTs there are lots out there.

Focusrite compressors are nice, I like the midnight line.

Also have a friend who uses this one alot and says good things.

Recently I've tried some toneboosters stuff, the ferox (tape simulator), module (a bunch of modulation effects), and equalizer (EQ + spectrum) are nice. The reelbus can also add some grit to your drum bus.

I've heard good things about valhalla reverbs but have yet to try myself

There are so many that it is hard to just recommend just a few but here goes. Neve 88RS emulation from UAD. I use this on every single mix I do. It is responsible for almost everything that does not need some type of special flavor. Other must haves for me are the Slate Digital VCC & FGX. I also recommend the PSP Audio plugins very highly. Particularly the Neon HR, Master Comp. From Waves I use the SSL4000 at times and I love the Pluigchild. For reverb I am kinda out of touch and still use my copy of Wizoo :)
