    renaissance bundle, cla compressors, dbx160, maxxbass, j37 (not a fan of kramer tape), q-clone (check out henry olongas q-clone presets, the tape presets make q-clone a powerful saturation tool), linear multiband, de-esser, MV2 and MaxxVolume (low level compression is underrated af), BSS DPR402 is an interesting comp but i didnt really test it, the rider plugins, vitamin, L2, brauer motion, doubler, reel adt, abbey roads vinyl

    CLA2A, CLA76 rVOX, rCompressor, rBass, rDeEsser, rVox keeps on giving after all these years.

    Channelstip recomendations,
    try SSLChannel, then you know what you get atleast

    i bought the scheps omni channel some blackfriday sale, its nice and all that, but for some reason it rarely get used.
    not a Waves channelstrip but, Lindell 80 channel is sounding awesome

    All the above have it's place in my projects, and besides that I found JJP Vocals sound really nice in vocal chain + simple but effective One Knob Series for quick & easy sound design.

    I don't like sub marine. It created weird digital artifacts when I tested it.

    I really like VEQ4 and the Puigtec eqs for coloring! Q-clone can also be great for coloring with the right presets! Check out Henry Olongas presets for instance: http://www.henryolonga.net/Blog/?cat=315

    There was a time I could not do without Waves.. compressors, eq, all fx in fact.
    Now I only regularly (almost) use bass and vocal riders and doubler, when I need it.
    PluginAliiance bundle and a few singles from elsewhere took the Waves place.
