Does the apQualizer have a dark mode? I would prefer that to the bright white background.

 

bx_console ssl 4000g​

Izotope nectar 3- EQ. As a clean go to eq because of the dynamic and follow mode feature of the eq.
Track Comp DMG (Every flavor of compression)

Theese 3 for sure, if I have to limit myself. Which I do, But I limit myself in more categories. 1 clean digital go to eq. 1 clean digital go-to compressor. And 4 modeled comps and eq each. Bus Comp, etc

Tough to choose more now.

Probably
bx_townhouse or the glue (Bus compression)
omnipressor or Opticom XL3 a (parallel compression)
NoiseASh ruleTec or bx_2098 as modeled EQ

Sylenth1, Zebra2, Waves l2, Ozone,

 

Yo guys, would be cool if you could write something about why you choose these plugins and what makes them stand out for you. Having lists is nice but to someone who doesn't know all of these names, they all sound the same.

 

Soundtoys, Kontakt, Valhalla, stock ableton. (kinda cheating but...)

Happy Placer:

Flatulus (for Kontakt):

 

Right,
Massive because, Massive. This synth really is a weapon. You can achieve anything with it, love the sound, not CPU hungry, millions of presets, millions of tutos, a sequencer, great arp, you can almost LFO anything.
Sylenth1 because really CPU light (I use 5 instances for my livesets, on a laptop and a lot of other VST instances opened, and I can tweak it without thinking about CPU usage... There is not much VST's that can do that), simple substractive yet complete synth, the sound is great with a few FX (or not). I make most of my hats with it too. Same millions of presets for inspiration, it is very tweakable yet not too complex.
Serum for the same reasons than Massive, plus millions of custom wavetables easily downloadable. Sound quality really is crisp. Love the filters.
BazzISM because simplicity, the sound is just amazing, great integration with Live, in livesets it is a beast and once you heard it on a big soundsystem you can't just fall in love with it. CPU light and easy to tweak live.

For the FX:
Color copy is a grat delay. There are a lot of them, but this one is simple, yet full of options, and sounds really great. If not Color copy I would go for Live's stock dealy which is amazing.
Breverb2 is a really good reverb. Otherwise I would go for Valhalla or Toraverb. Toraverb is on a send on every one of my livesets.
Pro Q3 you can read millions of reviews online : for myself because it is a surgical EQ. Can't sample without it
Satin because it is (one of the) greatest tape saturation plugin out there, and CPU friendly. I keep instances opened while paying live. Which you really can't do with T-racks or kramer tape without risking the CPU crackles. (Not OK on a soundsystem)

 

I honestly would work happily in reaktor alone if i needed to.

 

Done that . I use U-he Diva , Repro one\five , Omnisphere and Tassman 4 .

 

Jam Origin Midi Guitar, Amplitube 4, Camel Audio Alchemy with all the soundbanks, STW Audio Reflex Pro for all the delays and modulations and Ozone (5) for mastering and reverb. Just five. Less of this is impossible for me.

I need dynamic EQ, saturation, multiband compression and delay. Waves F6, Fabfilter Saturn, OTT, Echoboy.

 

vst: T-Racks CS, Overloud TH-U, STL Tonality - Howard Benson

vsti: IK Modo Drum, , Pianoteq 6 Stage, Diva

 

1 - Ableton Utility - super pure bass

2 - K9 dogBOX - best boxing vst

3 - FL Dance - gives good ispiration
