Plugins roll call

[Jay Pace]

things I use, have no idea if they're good or not, just am comfy with them

Reverbs:
nebula

compressors:
sonalkis stereo comp (compression)
native tc works (sidechaining)

EQ:
waves renaissance EQ

FX
PSP nitro
ohmboys filter
waves enigma

delays:
cubase stereo delay
stereoizer (widening)

Thats it.

Any suggestions, comments, must have plugins I'm missing?

[josephjobling]

depends on the spends - i use sonalksis comp - its very nice - there TDK filter is a nice bit of kit too - i use oxford eq (like that alot) and effex the d16 devestor. those are the only treats i could afford - the rest i use come with ableton or freeware
mind found some good freeware - audio damage rough rider is a nice comp (i like it for kicks and snares) a nice delay imo is TAL audio dub delay

[Jay Pace]

ahhh... forgot about TDK. Excellent.

Tal dub is wicked. Cheers dude!

[josephjobling]

no worries -would be lost with out the Tal dub IMO a good freeware delay - still looking for that perfect delay mind - i love the digi delay that comes with reason but not found any vst that works in the same way

tony... what do you use L2 for?

I generally avoid limiters like the plague.

I'm being slightly misleading here....I never use it for production but I quite often use it in combination with the API EQ's to apply basic mastering for my tracks. Nothing as fancy as that provided by a real mastering house but I find with regular referencing along with regualr switching between speakers, headphones etc, you can often achieve a pleasing result.

I also sometimes apply gentle limiting to mixes to make them louder and smooth out the dynamics. Either way, the L2 is the best software limiter out there (in my opinion).

I try to keep the amount of plugins I use to a select few so I can get the best out of them. Ive have used this combination for a while and I can get the results im after quickly.
