Here is mine (price 8 €)




It turns out that many VST FX are calibrated at 0 VU and this plugin allows me to achieve the maximum sound quality on offer. It is also indispensable for gain staging signal chains and setting up the master bus.

See This Thread for more info.

I don't know about the best, but I can recommend Voxengo Span as an essential item for people at all skill levels.

It's absolutely invaluable for all kinds of things, learning what's going on with your music, studying other people's tracks, testing and comparing plugins,tuning things like percussion or other instruments, It's one of the first things I stick on my master channel and it never leaves. The RMS and Correlation meter are useful as well.

I should have just used Omnisphere as my User name.

 

the best ? klanghelm mjuc at the moment. feels like butter

 

I bought that in 2013 and barely use it. :D

 

I guess it's BX_Solo, since N.I. Maschine has no Mono/Stereo Switch. It's just crucial for me for selecting channels of Drums and chopped Samples.

 

Check the tutorial in the link I posted above. I always pay close attention to the levels at various stages throughout the DAW. The latest DMP video also touches on this topic.
