Let's take a little trip down the memory lane...

What was the first 3rd party plugin you ever bought?

Mine was Waves' Kramer Master Tape and it cost $79 (back in 2012).

TBL (The Base Line) from ReFx sometime in 2001 or 2002. Still works to this day although of course 32 bit only.

Earliest I can identify is Sync Modular in 2000.

FabFilter Pro-C, Oct 20, 2011 (according to my FF account).
I'd was just returning from a 10 hiatus from making music of any sort, during which time I didn't even have a DAW, and my old porta-studio/synths/mixer, guitar, &tc were in boxes. The previous year I'd bought Cubase Essential 5 and in 2011 bought the full version 6. I tried the free stuff, didn't like them. Still using it in most projects, on the side-chain for echo fx.

Audio Damage Dubstation.
That plugin was on 90% of my tracks for years

But I think I bought a Reaktor Ensemble before that. Some funky JD800 emulation. Pretty cool - I wish I would have made a backup of that one.

Re thread title. I haven't had enough money to buy plugins since I knew they existed. I have survived on freeware looking enviously at all those who have both money and U-he products.

Camel Audio Chameleon synth - sadly lost it and serial a few years ago.

I really can’t remember. Probably Native Instrument Kompakt, back then the little brother of Kontakt. 200€.
For effects most likely the UAD1. Even more money...

RGC Audio Z3ta, and Waves Q10. I think i bought that G-Sonique Pultronic around the same time too after having a bit of a saturation itch i needed to scratch from playing with the early Bootsy/VoS shizz

First third-party plugin you bought?
