The Klanghelm DC8C 3 is quite nice. Very versatile and comes with simple and advanced interfaces. Has a simple copy-protection authorization process. At 23 EUR, the price is quite easy on the wallet.
I love the Pro-C 2, very versatile and capable. It also has really good selection of presets which often work great as they are or make a good start for fine tuning.
Compressor which would be number 1 for me is UAD's Distressor - it's fab on vocals, instruments and the mix bus. If I could only have one compressor it would be the Distressor:)
Elysia is absolutely great for compression while keeping the transients and the overall sound intact. I also recently rediscovered U-HE Presswerk again. The easy modes are very very good and easy to tweak in a musical way!! It has become my favourite comp, especially for Drums.
There is something brilliant about the Cenozoix compressor that makes it sound very clean and natural in a way that the other compressors simply don't. That ADAA - Anti-Derivative Anti-Aliasing is seriously magic and even with pretty extreme compression it feels natural and doesn't sound too squished.
Would love to see what you think about the uad spark capitol hills mastering compressor. As someone who actually makes money mastering, I think your opinion would be insightful!
Similar to the EQ video, Toneboosters have an offering worth considering! Compressor 4 is a solid competitor to FabFilter at a good price, and (according to some testing by Sage Audio) features one of the lowest distortion compression algorithms on the market in their Punch algorithm.
For coloration, you need to check your machine learning. It's not even in the same league as ANY algo plugin on the market - no, not even the most expensive one. I bought the CL-1B today and maaaaan this thing is fire on drums. Knock, punch, breathe, groove, weight, dimension - it's all there. I stopped using any algo plugin for coloration since then. I'm at the point where I don't even expect them to do any good. That said, these are the most used algo plugins for nothing more than glue: 1. Pulsar Audio - Manley VariMu 2. Weiss Comp / Limit 3. Vertigo VSC-3
I have those two and the Elysia on my master bus and tend to use one of those three with an SSL bus comp for mastering, all so good. (Usually using them lightly, naturally)
@@BrofUJu same here! the Iron i use for the "glue" factor if needed due to its nice Vari mu style also on a mix bus. and the Shadow hills class A for the final comp before the limiter and it adds super nice depth
@JohnnyFehr definitely. I really like the Iron on slow stuff, Elysia on faster snappier stuff, and the Shadow Hills on punchier stuff. Though I tend use Shadow Hills more on the drum bus than full masters
I f'ing HATE plugins from the non-resizable era of Plugin Alliance.. BUT Elysia and Purple compressors work so well... I just deal w/ the fact that the interface takes up 80% of my screen, lol
@@nilespeshay1734 Purple compressor is so underrated, bwaha in full agreement on resizable GUI! This dang elysia, going to have to study it as it sounds great from these videos!
I prefer the Kirchhoff EQ over the Pro Q 3 and when I just want a simple EQ like just a low cut it can do that, too. I use Pro Q 3 when running out of CPU power as it needs less CPU.
Its been 8 years im still using fabfilter plugins and getting my work done
really considering getting them, especially since I still got access to student discount, seems to be holding up very well!

Elysia is top notch. Also love the TDR Kotelnikov, would love to hear your thoughts on it.
I've had the elysia alpha (Plugin) for a looong time .. never regretted buying that one.

Only thing you need almost

1:37 using this right now !!
If I were stuck with one forever it'd be the Fairchild. Just love the character it has. Top 3 atm for me. LA2A simple, quick, distressor, Fairchild
No Distressor?
Big fan of the Unfairchild, Chandler by Softube and Lindell 354E.
Ah you still use Console 1! How are you finding it? I love mine.

Reacomp is hard to beat for transparent compression
💯
Good choices.
I also like Sonnox Dynamics, it's a bit brutal but great for dance music, as for more musical Waves CLA 3A is great, very smooth sounding.
Love these video thanks so much keep them coming buying them all lol
Top 3 coffee beans/grinds?

Could you explain in a video what that ffff...sonible histogram shows???
Have you ever try the Weiss suite of softube ?
Curious what you would say about the SPL iron and or Shadow hills class A from plugin alliance

I need to give the elysia another chance - I own it but the interface throws me off P_P

please make top 3 spectral bin scramblers next
Fruity Limiter called, He said he wants his royalties 1:36
Fabfilter, only 25% sale for Black Friday!!! It could have been a little more... like UAD, Izotope, Sonible, Steinberg, Plugin Alliance...
Sonibles AI always sets the same settings for me. It's like using a preset.
Hi. Where can I hear your mixes?
edit: found on your website. cheers
