Dunno if this is the right subforum, but...

I am very curious about your favorite cheap(ish) plug-ins. If you have any, please comment. My goal is to make a "to-go-list" for cheap plug-ins, made by myself and you guys. Both effects and VSTis allowed! Nothing over $100 allowed. PS. No, this is a cheap plugin thread, not a free plugin thread. I am aware that some free plugins are just as good as cheap ones, but do not post them here.

My own list:

Reverb: ValhallaDSP VintageVerb ($49)
EQ: Blue Cat Audio ParametrEQ ($89)
Limiter: iZotope Ozone 5 Limiter (part of the Ozone 5 pack, $250)
Compressor: Cytomic The Glue ($99)
Saturator: D16 Audio Redoptor ($49)
Delay: D16 Audio Sigmund ($89)

SOme of these plugins are available for less via sites like Plugindiscounts.com .

DDMF, Klanghelm and Stillwell are making some great affordable plugins.

Stillwell's The Rocket is a great 1176 emulation and i also love Cakewalk's LA2A plugin (99$).

Utility: Blue Cat Patchwork ($79)

can be had cheaper at places like Audiodeluxe.

Makes EQ-ing reverbs and parallel compression super simple and easily re-callable across projects.

Meldaproduction MMultiBandFreqShifter
Frequency shifting of up to six separate bands with or without delays (with feedback) for each band. Insane modulation possibilities, modulate the waveforms of the frequencyshifting oscillators on a sliding scale from whatever is considered "below" sinewaves via sawtooth up to noise and beyond with gradually added harmonics and optional smoothing (offcourse also on a sliding scale). Do the same for the waveforms of the four modulators etc etc. It works nicely for subtle stuff as well as mangling the signal beyond recognition. 49 EUR ± 67 USD
EDIT: that was the download and purchase link, here is the productpage.

Vember Audio Surge

Binary is beautiful

Does most things subtractive and always seems to have more tricks up its sleeve the better I get to know it. 3 oscillators, a couple of different kinds of RM and FM routing between them, modulatable feedback and waveshaping with a couple of algortihms to choose from. If you have the patience to figure out third party software that can make them you can load your own wavetables into the wavetable and window oscillators. 6 polyphonic LFOs that can function as stepsequencers or envelopes of you wish, 6 "scene" monophonic LFOs that can modulate the effects. 99 € (EU) / 99 $ (non-EU)

if you are on 64 bit - dont use stillwell plugins. some are confirmed to crash the entire daw when a song file hits 2 gb size. (using larger sample libraries this can happen easily)

so -1 on me on vibe eq and the rocket

(this bug is known for more than 2 years and not fixed)
