things I use, have no idea if they're good or not, just am comfy with them
Reverbs:
nebula
compressors:
sonalkis stereo comp (compression)
native tc works (sidechaining)
EQ:
waves renaissance EQ
FX
PSP nitro
ohmboys filter
waves enigma
delays:
cubase stereo delay
stereoizer (widening)
Thats it.
Any suggestions, comments, must have plugins I'm missing?
depends on the spends - i use sonalksis comp - its very nice - there TDK filter is a nice bit of kit too - i use oxford eq (like that alot) and effex the d16 devestor. those are the only treats i could afford - the rest i use come with ableton or freeware
mind found some good freeware - audio damage rough rider is a nice comp (i like it for kicks and snares) a nice delay imo is TAL audio dub delay
ahhh... forgot about TDK. Excellent.
Tal dub is wicked. Cheers dude!
no worries -would be lost with out the Tal dub IMO a good freeware delay - still looking for that perfect delay mind - i love the digi delay that comes with reason but not found any vst that works in the same way

tony... what do you use L2 for?
I generally avoid limiters like the plague.

I also sometimes apply gentle limiting to mixes to make them louder and smooth out the dynamics. Either way, the L2 is the best software limiter out there (in my opinion).
