    LEGEND:

    *** = “I have enough experience with this plugin company to know that EVERYTHING they make is FIRE”



    Logic Pro X Bitcrusher

    ***Acustica and NEBULA (3rd party Tim Petherick, Cupwise, AlexB, etc.)

    Airwindows has some great stuff. Requires some digging though lol, he has hundreds of plugins.

    AOM Invisible Limiter Series

    Antares Auto-Tune

    BABY Audio Smooth Operator

    ***Black Rooster Audio

    Blue Cat Patchwork

    Cableguys HalfTime + ShaperBox

    Cradle The God Particle

    ***Cytomic

    ***D16

    DDMF Magic Death Eye

    DDMF Metaplugin

    DDMF Plugindoctor

    Denise Audio Motion Filter / The Sweeper

    ***DMG Audio

    ***FabFilter

    Fuse Audio Labs + Goodhertz both have some cool stuff

    ***HOFA

    IK Multimedia TRackS (many amazing plugins)

    iZotope Ozone

    iZotope RX


    Kazrog True Iron

    ***Klanghelm

    Kush Audio UBK-2

    ***Melda

    ***Native Instruments

    Noise Ash MOTONE

    ***Nuro Audio

    ***oeksound

    Overloud Gem Dopamine + EQP

    ***Plugin Alliance (everything, ESPECIALLY by ADPTR/BX/Elysia/Lindell/Maag/Neold/Shadow Hills/SPL/Vertigo

    ***Pulsar Modular (steep learning curve to their stuff tho imho)

    ***Sinevibes

    SirAudioTools Standard Clip

    Softube has some great stuff

    SOUNDTHEORY, SOUNDTOYS, SSL - all fire

    TBPRO, TDR, TONEBOOSTERS - all fire

    ***u-he

    ***UAD

    ***VALHALLA

    ***Voxengo

    Waves has some great UTILITY plugins

    ***Wavesfactory

    XFER + XLN



    Acustica/Nebula and FabFilter are top 2 for me. Also Plugin Alliance. So that's my top 3. And i use DDMF literally every day. But ya gotta be careful with Metaplugin, it's super steep learning curve and you kind of NEED plugindoctor as well in order to learn how to wield it properly. Not to mention you may also need to bounce "Realtime" instead of "Offline".

    softube mutator, fix series, tape and dirty stuff
    sinevibes superweird and superfun
    kuassa all the modfx, I am not into guitar amp/drive-shit

    You basically have all Relab plugins??? For me, their prices right now are just too high. I think buying just one LX480 is close to UAD Studio Edition on sale (which would include a different, but still a Lexicon 224 emulation and 30 other high-quality emulations). I really like the way Relab stuff sounds (I have Sonsig Rev-A & LX-480 Essentials), but do you think they are really worth it?

    its what i use next to the wave alchemy reverbs (forgot those)
    I bought the essentials version of the quantx and rev6000 btw, do not need all those options that trigger my OCD from the big versions
    Also Soundbetter Butterfly is awseome for ambient reverbs

    Kontakt
    Serum
    Fabfilter Pro-Q3
    Reso
    Saturate
    Airwindows Consolidated
    Spacecontrol


    You can do a whole production not only more than sufficiently, but efficiently with these plugins.

    solid. I would swap out Reso for Soothe, and Serum for Pigments, (although its a hard choice really) and add Nebula. Consolidated has brought a brand new life to Air windows. Really and endless suite of plugins. Some are bad, some are pointless, but many are great.

    Aren't they just impulse responses with a nice interface and some additional options like filter?

    I looked at the product info and manual for Glow. They say it uses a Hybrid Convolution/ DSP mix. Their marketing and manual do not "upsell" the unit based on "hybrid convolution/dsp" comments at all. They mention the complex stuff going on under the hood, in the marketing.

    So what do you think?

    That list is supposed to be bare bones. IMO, Nebula is on the list of nice to haves, but not necessary. Soothe is nice, but not as surgical as Reso. The workflow is a little more straight forward in Serum vs Pigments (though I do like Pigments). I use other plugins additionally to the ones I listed of course, but if I had to give everything up except those, I could get the job done efficiently and beautifully.

    Ya know, I forgot about Klevgrand. I don't suppose that anything they make is indispensable but it's all very unique and cool and certainly extremely groovy to have around when you want something like that.
