    Too many FX to mention only one but the one where all the plugins are running in, which is:
    REAPER

    Maybe there's no other bundle that has so many plugins for the price. But, what I've learned is that you don't need too many plugins anyway! I would trade all mediocre NI compressors for one RVox or Kush AR-1 lol.

    In general, use only few plugins, learn them really well, and u can create anything u want.

    VST: TDR bundle (hard to pick between these and the Fabfilter bundle, but I don't think I could live without the TDR plug-ins)
    VSTi: Vital

    Fab filter plug-ins, hands down for me. Specifically ProQ and ProMB and ProC2 they are effortless. And then Serum. And I love the SHIT out of Ohmforce Ohmicide.

    I would never consider a plugin an "investment" but plugins that I bought that I use all the time and have yet to get tired of are DIVA, REPRO5, Alchemy, Logic Compressor, API Vision Channel, Millennia NSEQ-2, Elysia Mpressor & Aplha, Maag EQ4, Ghz Vulf, Ghz Tilt, Ghz Tonecontrol, Pro Q.

    Very rarely do I need anything that can't be covered by those tools.

    Honestly, I've ultimately regretted every software purchase I've made, and it's been 20 years since I owned a hardware synth. There are some pieces of software I paid for, that I use more than others, but they all disgust me and feel like limited garbage that doesn't do what I want or how I want it done.

    Maybe the problem lies with you. Maybe the problem isn't the software. Maybe you just have no idea what you're doing.

    Thank you for taking the time. Seems to be a really new theme too. Looks fabulous, too bad the MIDI editor is bright AF. I have to pay more attention to the theme section of the website.

    hmm so you are well aware what hardware can do that software can't? sadly i can't understand that yet, i tried listening some comparisons but i guess unless you are in a proper environment to hear the details, no idea
