NI Supercharger GT compressor gets a lot of use.
D16 Decimort is kinda vital for me at least, if you like Lofi, it is the one.
Valhalla Vintage is as everyone else has already said pretty darn good.
Izotope Neutron I use a lot too.
Soundtoys Bundle 5
Eventide Blackhole
Valhalla
The ones that come with Ableton are good enough for me. I would always go the hardware route if I wanted something special.
I like TAL plugins - many are free. They have a very simple chorus based on the Juno. I also love the TAL Reverb III. Both very simple.
Valhalla Vintage Verb is fairly straightforward as well.
Also check out Surreal Machines for reverb/delay. Great interfaces. Great sound.
Soundtoys all the way! Especially Echoboy / Echoboy jr
Native Instruments Guitar Rig

Since we’re talking about plugins, does anyone know of a plugin that can “flatten” the pitch of a sample? Something like this
I’ve tried to make it happen with melodyne, vocoders, vocalsynth. I can’t find something to flatten the pitch without sounding processed.
Empirical Labs are launching a new plug in a couple of days, though they won’t tell anyone what it is.
Empirical Labs of Distressor Fame are releasing their new EQ today.
I might possibly have won a free copy. Probably not, but maybe…

Good to see they aren’t wasting money on graphic designers

It’s not that bad is it?
TBH I’m more disappointed there’s no autogain. I’d take that over x8 sampling any day. I couldn’t see myself buying this at all. If I get a copy I’ll use it though, if it can do something special.

It looks like a prototype I would build at work before I had a designer assigned to my project :). Sorta reminds me of the 90s. Anyway if it’s free or really cheap it looks fine. Otherwise I want to be paying for a bit more in the visual department.

The Arouser (Distressor) was about $400 when they released it iirc.
Yeah for that much some effort could be put into font choice, not using pure white, contrasted text color in the gain knobs, some padding on the oct box below width, fixing the feel of font size ratios, and that’s literally 3 mins of thoughts from an engineer with no design background and wouldn’t even require hiring someone.

I can see by the use of the word padding you’re a Web Designer?

I don’t know what that is, but it sounds fancy.

Look for glitchmachines plugins, they are highly recommended for any kind of effect you want to create althought they are fully packed with presets…
Special mention for Scope, Subvert and Hysteresis.
There is also a bunch of free samples and VSTs to start from:

That’s all you’d ever need, it really is. There’s tonnes more though…
Softube have got to be the best at modelling overall. It can be quite pricey though, £500 for a software EQ…
Just have a look at those four sites, there’s enough there for about 4 years.

Convex is my favorite, used alongside other heavy modulation plugins (like Excalibur or Molekular), it can be very transformative. Even simple sounds like a 909 tom drum through the pair can give you an alien like stab.
It’s worth the $50, but sometimes pluginboutique has Glitchmachines Convex for $10
Hi! can someone help please? The other weeks I was reading about a fairly recent release of an effects rack VST by a reputable company, something like 30, 40? effects independently routable. Including all one’s needs, reverb, delays, modulation etc.
Was it IK Multimedia? not sure. Soundtoys? unlikely.
I remember the interface was on the coloured/joyful side.
thanks
