Without a doubt Waves L1/L2.

It destroyed an entire decade of masters.
THIS MUSIC HAS BEEN MIXED TO BE PLAYED LOUD SO TURN IT UP

Another vote for autotune. Especially on rap that I hear being played on streets by self-proclaimed "lil' gangstas". Boy, it has so much of opposite effect to how they want to be perceived by playing this music (tough, ghetto, gangstas), while I see them in Blue Oyster Bar scene from Police Academy :D

But my vote goes to izotope ozone,
Specifically imager.
So many destroyed stereo images in budget production. Still get mixes with wrecked stereo.

Second contender “monoizers”

They used middle-aged rich guys who were musically bored, and a caricature of their former selves.
Every day takes figuring out all over again how to f#ckin’ live.

Funny that, I replaced it back with the Pro L2 and it was fine. So yeah the mix was fine. The L2 just doesnt' cut it anymore.
