    Steinberg - Hypersonic 2

    A lot of the early to mid 80's porn still holds up really good as well. You cannot go wrong with a good Amber Lynn or Christy Canyon scene. Also, dare I say it, but Traci Lords is timeless (or so I've heard). Even though she was a few years later you gotta put Ashlyne Gere in there as well. She was a trooper! This may be a little off topic, but I think the word plug-in can apply to some of these great & influential women.

    Tracy was a very tight plugin at 15 when beginning in the industry, using a fake ID to prove her age. On another musical note she once dated Slash.

    Magix Vandal, 2010, by Sascha Eversmeyer.

    Just tricked 2 clients - not exactly newcomers - again, pretending 1 demo was the XTC, the other the Matchless.
    We'll track later with real tubes.

    Since then, it became part of Samplitude, so, it's always ready.

    Hmmm...good question..

    I think for me that always in my plugin list overtime is IK-multimedia T-racks...been using it since 1999/2000.. eventho im less using them now but i still keep them around just because i familiar with them, especially old ones like black 76, white2a, those yellow color plugins eq/comp/clipper...once in a while i pick them up than others just for have some variety....

    I do miss a lot of old plugins i used to but has been stopped developing, most of it not compatible with Apple Silicon. I guess thats why T-racks is till around with me coz the consistent update for newer specs.
