Honestly, can't think of 10. Most are replaceable. But they have some unique ones:
Q-Clone — Unique at the time but recently challenged by the free Bertom EQ Curve Analyzer (https://bertom.gumroad.com/l/eq-curve-analyzer). It captures EQ curves and can apply them to anything using an impulse response. However, what makes it really unique are the presets many people have made for it: viewtopic.php?t=480211
Maxxbass — Creates harmonics to reinforce (or create a phantom) fundamental frequency. It's finicky to work with but precise. If it's too complex then look at R-Bass, which is simplified at the cost of that preciseness.
Torque — Pitch shift body separately from transient. There are other tools that do similar but the UI here is very specific so the workflow is very fast and satisfying. The results are great.
Codex — I was initially disappointed you couldn't load your own wavetables but they're excellently curated. The wavetable scanning controls are well-suited to them. Marrying digital wavetables to a virtual analog engine (basically Element) was a clever idea. It just sounds good. They eventually added the ability to import WAV wavetables. Note due to the VA engine, there's a noise floor around -98 dbFS.

Infra creates a phantom fundamental to increase bass perception.
Blue Lab Audio plugins are now free, if you can find them.

I like their imaging stuff, S1 Imager, Center, and Doubler are all amazing.

The Waves Doubler is very overlooked.iloveplugins2 wrote: Mon Mar 14, 2022 3:11 am I like their imaging stuff, S1 Imager, Center, and Doubler are all amazing.

The "Pure Impulse" is called a Dirac delta impulse. 1 sample peak contains all frequencies.
You don't need any other plugin to create an impulse response. Just run the EQ over the Dirac delta and bounce it. The result is your EQ impulse response. I suggested Bertom EQ Analyzer so you can see the EQ curve.

There are already some plugins from Waves that are pretty good, but I don't use much from Waves at the moment because there is also overlap with other plugins.
Which are worth it... hmm... certainly MaxxBass, the CLA plugins like CLA-2A but also OneKnob tools like OneKnob Pumper.

Compressors and strips from the Abbey Road stuff and the API collection.

Vocal Rider - Very natural results. Almost as close to manually riding the fader on vocals.
MV2 - Great on the drum buss and vocals. Easy interface.
H-Delay - very easy to dial in the exact delay for every genre of music.
MaxxBass - Great for adding harmonics to the midrange based on the fundamentals of lower frequencies. RennBass is very similar but MaxxBass is like the bigger brother.

You can actually load your own wavetables in the form of a WAV sample at around 1sec in length. Well the time is their "optimal" suggestion. Just click in the Import button in the waveform view.yellowmix wrote: Sun Mar 13, 2022 1:48 am Honestly, can't think of 10. Most are replaceable. But they have some unique ones:

The new Clarity is extremely useful. Years and years of my workflow cleaning up voice recordings with noise reductions/eq filters/gates is now very different and faster.
