Also, if you’re on OS: Soundmagic Spectral by Michael Norris is classic freeware.

KTGranulator was another classic freeware plug back in the 32bit days. I think it’s now available commercially as SumoGrain or SaltyGrain or something like that…

Since I got Valhalla Room I never needed any other reverb anymore.

For final mix/master, Tone Boosters Reel Bus and Voxengo Elephant are always present.

Synth - Aalto is my absolute favorite!

SUPER into Sound Radix Auto-Align. It’s been my secret weapon when mixing tracks. Nothing super fancy, it just analyzes two different channels, say left over head and right overhead, and calculates the perfect amount of offset to have the best phase relationship. I always measure my overheads to the snare, but even then it’s not perfect. On a recent gospel session my over heads were calculated as 3 samples out of phase, and when they were in sync, it sounded more open and punchy. I think I got it on sale for like 75 or 50 bucks?

I think all of the plugins I consider favorites have already been mentioned, so I guess I’m just adding +1s:

  • Madrona Labs Aalto (Beautiful interface, really interesting sounds, MPE - what’s not to like)
  • Spectrasonics Keyscape (I have not ever heard E-Pianos this awesome. I can play with this for hours and lose myself in there)
  • U-He Zebra HZ (The synth that can do anything you can imagine)
  • U-He Satin (mainly for the slight wobble you get from delay mode with a delay of 0, slow ips and a little bit of slow time modulation… sigh)
  • Klanghelm MJUC (This is the first compressor that I really felt strongly about one way or the other. Most compressors I tried just did what they’re supposed to… this is special - to me anyways)
  • Klanghelm SDRR (I love that it can be so subtle in the saturation. With my SoundToys saturation plugins, I have to try really hard to not overdo it… with this, it’s easy)
  • ValhallaDSP Plate (I love plate reverbs, and It’s obvious that Sean does as well)
  • SoundToys Echoboy (Best delay there is in my opinion. Does everything I could ever want from a delay)

Supatrigga, a free plugin that chops the incoming audio and re-arrange it in several ways.

The goodhertz plugins are now available for windows as well (in beta, but they work well for me). Thought someone here might be interested.

still using my old little plug-ins both on my old & new computer, but i like to check plug-in boutique…not just for the deals, but also for “storing” my licenses and updates.

hope it helps!
