I use Sonnox EQs with ProTools to shape and filter my tracks to get the clarity I want from my mixs. I really couldn't work without it.

What is your number one "must-have" plug-in?

And do you have a "dream tool" that doesn't seem to be available yet or you haven't discovered exists already?

Maybe there's some unknown gems out there.

I use my eareckon plugins basically all his stuff works for me for clean effects but I felt like i was missing a invisible sounding comp so I recently bought the one from sinus now I have all that I could want as far as clean transparant and colored besides that I love basically all my sknote plugins the GTS "gates" comp emulation is my favorate comp limiter. and roundtone is on every bus along with my strip bus the only thing i wish is that I could get a nice perametric eq from sknote and a nice DeEsser from eareckon

I like my UAD plug-ins, wish they were native.

Me TOO If they would just get rid of there crappy DSP cards I would still use my UAD stuff

So many I love.... Softubes stuff by far my favorite. Summit audio levelling amp, tsar reverb and the icing on the cake is the valley people dynamite. Waves ssl comp, I use the ssl g channel a lot as well. I have a bunch of others but those are top of the list.. Oh and amplitude 3 love that too.

Not strictly a plugin but Maschine such a great product with glaring frustrating basic missing functions.., not helped by the fanboys over at NI's forum race to the bottom.

Maschine is a drum sampler sequencer / host that has no midi import, very basic sequencing, no loop preview in sync, no rx2 preview or import, no multi timbal plugin support.

And to be honest is looks like none of these functions are coming soon.

I didn't know Softubes, you see it pays to post a question.

Have you tried the new Softubes Summit Audio Grand Channel plug-in yet?
Having used Summit hardware in the past, I'm interested to see what it sounds like.

And the dynamite by valley people is an old fav as well.

Go looking for something new, and you find old friends.

I never used the HW but imo The Grand Channel is excellent.

Glad to hear The Grand Channel is excellent.

Try to get a chance to try out the HW, Summit tubes "warm" anything up.

my friend has all the softube stuff summit makes me want to go run out and grab myself a copy Ill have to do that soon

I don't really have a favorite plugin but one pugin I always use and I don't really know a replacement for is TesslaPro
Absolutely fantasic plugin

Cheers

My #1 favorite is The Glue compressor

rountone and my GTS-39 comp they are some of my most loved plugins. that and I would say eareckon stuff mixed with T racks classic eq and classic comp

No I haven't tried summit channel, but I have tried their pultec stuff and love it,
Their pultech channel is amazing but really expensive and my money is committed to other things at the moment.

I just recently dug into nebula, which opened a whole new world for me. Incredible stuff!

I hope there's a plugin with nebula's sound quality and prices someday, only with much less cpu usage and latency and better GUI. The first person who can make it will get rich soon
