Top 5 Most Used Plugins?

[sambaji]

Free: Melda MEqualizer, Span Spectrogram, Loudmax Limiter.
I particularly like these free plugins as they are lightweight.

Paid: TDR Nova EQ, TDR Kotelnikov Compressor

I'm not going to count Sonarworks Reference or Goodhertz CanOpener on my master because they're not exactly vital to the music, just for a decent mix.

Live's Compressor, Channel EQ and EQ Eight
Valhalla Supermassive
Soundtoys Echoboy Jr

[Grodada]

currently, my top 5 :

dent2 (first disto)
infiltrator(first fsu)
Valhalla Delay(first delay and reverb)
moodal (spectral resonator)
Inphonik RX950(akai sound)

[kvotchin]

I will almost always be using some kind of EQ, compression, saturation, reverb, and spatialisation.

Not particularly attached to any individual plugin of each kind though. They all have their uses.

But okay, in the spirit of the OP, I use ReEQ more often than other EQs.

Waves TG12345
+ izotope Alloy 2 (Ozone 8 Advanced / Scheps Omnichannel / SSL G / ...)
Nimbus (Waves H-Reverb /NI Raum / Valhalla Room / orilRiver/ ...)
UA Triad
+ my own sample mangler (Bitwig)

it all depends on the material ...

An EQ or compressor that goes on every channel for even one project that has more than one channel:

None.

An EQ or compressor that has gone in every project:

None.

I do have trends where I'll use some set of tools more than others for awhile, but it doesn't usually last for very long. I'd be interested in seeing people's lists next January.

Since I really like Molot, may I ask why you prefer the Vlad?

First of all I prefer simple alfa/sigma switch to this new blending modes knob that produces audio artifacts when you interact with it. I know it might sound silly but I love this soviet looking interface of vlag molot. It feels more playful and inviting for me. Also after years of using it I know how to set it by intuition. Its like your old trusted car that you will never switch for anything new

Thanks. And actually makes sense; have to compare those two a bit more I guess. On the other hand there are quite a few people still preferring the old Limiter N°6 versus the newer Tokyo Dawn version.

Magic switch
Valhalla Supermassive (insane to me that this is free)

Why is there no poll?
