Hello. I have like 6 months on production. I have used ultrafunk sonitus and waves.
I want to know the best vst for effects and mastering.
I want to know delays, filters, reverbs, compressors and I dont know anythin else that I can need.

Thanks for your help

There is no best when it comes to something that provides subjective results. Many do the job well, but they all do it a bit differently. So it's more a matter of your tastes and specific needs (UI, features, sound character, etc)

We can list a whole series of good, but that won't help you narrow it down at all.

Maybe tell us exactly what you are after, someone is sure to know the answer.

Ultrafunk and Waves stuff set a very high standard. But I recommend that you start collecting freebies and demos and choose for yourself. Some of my all time favorite plugins are freebies - even SynthEdit ones. Don't be a snob, and don't believe the marketing hype. ALL VST plugins are 32 bit effects and are noiseless (unlike many professional digital hardware devices), so even the freebies have the potential to be high-end mastering quality. Refinements such as quality GUI, ultra low latency and security protection schemes don't actually increase audio quality, so small and free can still be very powerfull if it gets a sound effect you want.

Check out the PSP Lexicon 84 delay, and Nitro for a filter/multi weird FX www.pspaudioware.com

Also Trash for Distortion www.izotope.com
Tritone HydraTone for EQ www.tritonedigital.com

If you're after some creative effects, check out the demos of our CamelSpace (includes delay, reverb, 'trance-gate' and lots of other stuff) and CamelPhat 3. They're definitely not mastering effects, but they do inspire creativity.

Thanks
Ben

Filter--Nitro (PSP), Filterscape
Compressor--Vintage Warmer (PSP), Neodynium (Elemental Audio), Soniformer (Voxengo)
Limiting--Elephant (Voxengo)
Equalizer--Equim and Firium (Elemental Audio)
Delay--PSP 84
Reverb--Spin Audio's RoomVerb or Pristine Space Light (Voxengo)
Lastly, check out PSP's MixPack--good for saturation effects.
I did a lot of experimenting before deciding on these.
Search on this forum for each particular effect in which you are interested. You'll find a lot of recommendations.
There's a lot of good free stuff too, although generally not as good as stuff you can purchase.
What's wrong with Waves, anyway?

OK, so you have Ultrafunk Sonitus effects and "spent" Hundred$ of Dollar$ on Waves, and you asking about delays and reverbs?

Word of advice, use any freebie effects (http://www.kjaerhusaudio.com are the best for this) and LEARN how to use those. Than, download demos and decide for yourself which one does a better job. Make sure you have good monitors to hear the difference. Its easy to preview VSTi instrument to decide the sound you like, but with effects - you need to have good ears and good monitors to hear the difference.

And, when you ready, get Voxengo effects

PS Of course, if you are "legitimate" user and not a crack-head as I assumed, than sorry for jumping into a quick conclusion

Not much chance of that...I've never known anybody to shell out the huge cost of a Waves suite and not know the first thing about delays and reverbs.
It'd be like a question in the hardware section...
"I've got this Mackie 8-buss, but can you tell me about busses...not sure what they're for - do the pros use them?".....yeah, right...
