Let's have some fun - you are stranded on a desert island with your PC recording setup (don't ask me how

). Before your ship went down you had just enough time to "grab" only 3 effects to do your recording on the island to pass the time while waiting to be picked up!

What are they and why just those 3?

Not looking for manufacturers but just the effects.

Thanks - God bless

I think you mean "effects" - you don't really want to be "affected" - trust me.

To pass the time: I would grab an eq and teach myself to recognise the frequencies by ear. A multiband compressor, and learn how to best use that, and a reverb with a lot of parameters to get really familar with.

My fav compressor, endorphin, if I have to, I can use it as both master and channel compressor.
Retrodelay, to add some space / filtering fx
Elite Reducer, to destroy my sounds

the irony here is that actually VST plugins are "AEffects".

(give a look to the vstplugin sdk)

Thanks - you are right - I meant "effects" - I guess I can blame my college education on that!

Blockfish or Endorphin for compression.

Glaceverb for reverbs.

Retrodelay for more experimental effects.

Reverb
Delay
Compressor

Hmmm... we can't mention manufacturers?

Well, my first two would be a couple of Phat and Spacey multi-effects plugins.

That should cover as much ground as possible with the first two plugins. The final plugin would be one of the convolution reverb processors, with lots of impulse response files to feed it.

take care,
McLilith

Reverb, multiband compressor and eq

I wouldn't want to miss my (golden) audio channel, my (pristine) convolution engine with (spiritcanyon) impulses, and right now my repitching / rephrasing effect.
Why? regardless of the specific products, these are three areas that I haven't explored much...

Tricky...Reverb, Multiband Comp (which can do single-band and a bit of EQ after all), and Amp simulation

Play, stop and rewind.

some form of channel strip that included eq, comp, gate, limiter etc.
A ggod reverb that would cover most of the bases.
A very flexible delay.

diverdee: or just like. one fx with all the fx in it?

Trash, Pristine Space Light, Endorphin.

You Ony Get a choice of 3 Effects - What Are They?
