Curious! Not your top 5 favourite plugins, but the top 5 most used. What do you invariably use on every project? What's the EQ or compressor you slap on pretty much every channel?

I'll start:

- Crave EQ
- Soothe
- Blackhole
- ISOL8
- Sonarworks Reference Headphones

What do you like about it? Where and how do you use it (mastering / mixing)?

It's just ridiculously transparent upwards limiting, great for bringing out detail. I use it a lot because I mix outside the box without much processing (currently). There was some debate as to whether it makes a good mastering limiter. I like it a lot though and find it super handy. :tu:
