    My best investment was the 2 minutes it took me to create my AZ account.

    I've been using FIR2 compressor a lot as well as Limiter °6 on the master to finish it all up.

    UVI Shade. I prefer it to the Fabfilter Volcano. That is hard to accomplish.

    Best: Scaler 2, Soothe 2 and Output Portal.

    Worst: When they first came out bought the 2 Westcoast Expansions from Studiolinked and i never was disappointed like that from Anything that i bought. (I was new to Music Production and they got me with their Marketing).

    On My Waitlist to buy is Gospelmusicians Bassalicious 2.

    Most used plugin (that I haven't bought) is probably Serum.

    Most used plugins that I have personally bought: NI Komplete (I dont use it much now though), Waves bundle (I think Im diamond level now.. just slowly upgraded over time), and probably Scaler 2. Shout out to Shaperbox 2, as I just bought that a few months back, and I think I'll find a lot of use for it.

    Edit: Forgot about Fabfilter and Valhalla bundles. Those are highly recommend.

    if one considers the donation of a few dollars or a cup of coffee an "investment"; the dsp56300 emulator for source. all day :)

    I'd rather get answers to "what audio tool was worth the time you invested into learning it?". Using price to evaluate skews it with the additional factor of "bang for buck".
