Effects • Re: What (effect) plug-ins have really impressed you lately?

So many great plugins that I'm always impressed by....

When I bought the full Minimal Audio Current and FX bundle, I assumed I might use the FX plugins as mostly creative effects here and there, but they are getting tons of use all over my projects. Swarm Reverb and Cluster Delay have become the first plugins I reach for if I just want a generic verb or delay, and then I'll swap them out if they are not doing the trick. Rift is my go-to distortion/saturator. Flex Chorus gets a lot of play on melodic instruments. Fuse Compressor gets a bit of use as a parallel multi-band.

Baby Audio Spaced out gets a lot of use when I want to quickly set a combined reverb and delay.

XLN Life gets a lot of use as a drum fill creator (by importing the track's drum beat and then just shuffling things around)

Analog Obsession FET CB and Comper get a lot of use. I can't put my finger on what's so special about FET CB, but it can really make staccato signals dance - things like keyboard plucks or funk guitar. Comper is killer as a 2-stage compressor all in one plugin. Only real downside to these is that there is no stereo unlink capability, so I use them mostly on single tracks and then go for Trackspacer on stereo busses. The other comps are nice too, but FET CB and Comper IMO cover a lot of ground that other comps don't.

I just bought Baby Audio Humaniod because it solves a huge need, but haven't had a chance to really put it through the paces yet. I expect it to get a lot of use moving forward.

Pro-Q, Spectre, and K-Clip are mainstays. Can't live without them. Superior Drummer for realistic drums. Tone Projects stuff for mastering.
