OK, we all use Limiters and EQ and compressors. Besides those three things, what is it you use the most and find is your favorite VST Plugin to use? Mine is the D16 Decimort! Can't get enough of it!

 

Permut8

 

I am with kwiss. Permut8 has a surprising range of sonic possibilities and it just keeps on giving
Tantra is another goodie

 

for me its the Glitchmachines stuff.. crazy!

 

I'm fond of DMGAudio's, particularly Equality, iZ Ozone, Acustica And I'm a bit too much used to Nomad Factory stuff (I know it's not the best but habits are hard to give up) notably the Keyboard Recordings multi Fx freewares KR MFX and KR Musician tools - these 2 are only available in 32 bits alas... ers empty room and lexicon type for digital reverb, altiverb & speakerphone for convolution.
Otherwise, I try to use a large panel of plugins when i have more time to loose, from waves to cool freewares - there's some good surprises.

oh, i'd forget one I used several times : u-he runciter

 

Fabfilter plugins bundle is my go-to!

 

Camelspace is still capable of giving something different and so is Dischord 3. synth wise Falcon & Serum

 

Valhalla Collection - Each an every plugin.

 

Audio Damage and Sonic Charge stuff is cool.
Sugar Bytes Thesys and Stutter Edit work surprisingly well together if you can use them with subtlety.

Hands down though, Reaktor.

 

And the Korg MS20.
Still blows my mind what you can accomplish with some of these classic, albeit dated, plugins.

 

yamaha compressor 260
uvi spark verb
flux epure

 

McDSP ultimate compressor

 

I'm into Futurepop so a lot of IDM Kontakt librairies (Heavyocity etc...)
Besides that :
1/ Tantra and Kirnu for automatic grooves from a simple chord progression
2/ UAD Lexicon 224 reverb
3/ UVI Relayer delay
4/ Oldies but goodies : Zebra2 - Diva - Zeta3 - Massive - Sylenth1
5/ Newer very interesting synths : Wiggle - CarbonElectra - Serum - Spire
6/ Omnisphere 2 for the desert island
7/ Nexus 2 for fun

 

oki, fx only.
If I could take one, two AU fx with me to an island for the rest of my days;
Rob Papen Delay, PA Maag EQ or Waves RS56.
Sansamp?
I couldn't pick one if I had too. There's too many wonderful fish in the ocean.

 

You're right, there are so many. It's hard to pick just one, but when I think about it, decimort is used heavily in my latest productions. It gives that sound I want! Nice and degraded!

 

I used to use permute 8 a lot, but then after a while I got annoyed because it never seems to quit making noise, even with your track turned off. It has so much feedback!

 

You should check out D16's Devastor 2.
Or Fab Filter's Saturn.
And also Ohmforce's Ohmicide.
Now that I think about it Quad Frohmage is another I probably couldn't live without.

 

Fab Filter stuff is great use their Pro L & Pro MB lots. Also use Brainworx console & NSEQ-2 a lot. Also very fond of u-he Presswerks & use satin loads & find ALL Klanghelm stuff really good for a lot of things.
Anything that involves phase/time tend to stick with Eventide.
Their new Tverb one of the best out their in it's category imo. Hard to choose a few but they the ones I use most regularly I guess

Like already mentioned Reaktor capable of just about anything u need it to do crazy piece of gear
