Being close to the huge discounts of black friday, it would be great to have a list of plugins to look for, so can you share recommendations on plugins that are not in sister site? I know for example that Soothe 2, Sonnox Limiter and Inflator, Soundtoys... are highly recommended. Also it would be kind to consider plugins for mac, since the aviability of them in the sister site is lesser than the windows ones.

 

Sonnox Claro (eq), Sonnox SupResser (de-esser), or basically all of them. Schwabe Gold/Orange Clip, and I will surely think of more.

Here's the thing, for Mac; you would not just want iLok un-cracked for Mac; you want iLok un-cracked plugins for Windows. You could demo/buy DDMF Metaplugin to try running Windows plugins in it as a wrapper. If you are successful getting that to work, buy it. Otherwise you could use Audiogridder/ Crossover/ Crossgridder etc. to run Windows versions of plugins that have been released, but not for Mac.

Or you could just buy some things you want anyway, or things you could buy to support the developer. The sale prices from Sonnox are going to be very hard to beat.

 

How do you use DDMF to run windows plugins?

 

SuperPlate by Soundtoys. It's only my experience but it's the most beautiful plato algo reverb I've ever heard. It's a joy, it's beautiful. I own the full bundle (which I bought here from @vayabahia btw) and I paid only $29 for it. Psyscope is another awesome plugin, constantly updated by the developer and relatively cheap. These are the ones I can think on the top of my head rn.

 

I don't personally, which is why I said demo it first. It is a paid-option only still on Mac, as far as I know. For Audiogridder or Parallels methods you just need things you can find on sister site. I would look for stuff with no Windows releases, because very few of them will be only available on Mac. Not the other way around.

 

I did not have good luck with Claro. I bought it on steep discount, but its been super buggy and slow for me. Honestly the worst performing plugin i have, and i have a lot. Sucks, cuz i want to like it, as in theory its a great plugin.

 

OxyOTT by Oxy DSP

I found this one a couple of weeks ago, when watching a youtube tutorial.

From their website:

Available for WIN and MAC, there is also a demo available, which I tried out and fell in love with.
According to their discord, there will be a Black Friday Sale, so I am definitely are going to get it.
