For recoarding.
1. Digital Fish Phones.
http://www.digitalfishphones.com/main.p ... &subItem=5Blockfish and Floorfish in particular, i find useful.
2. Tin Brook Tales
http://www.tinbrooketales.com/ (go to his archive/plugins section(he has a link at top of the page), then to the "new-tbt-vstplugins" part to DL stuff.)
He has several nice ones there. I particularly like the TL-3127 compressor/limiter.
3. Antress.
http://antress.er-webs.com/Has a big package of VSTs. Mostly i just use the EQs from them on stuff. In particular, i like the Modern Deep Purple one. I find it interesting for using on oddsounds/electronic/noise stuff.
4. Glacebverb.
http://www.kvraudio.com/get/1566.htmlA very useful and pretty good sounding reverb. I don't use much reverb myself, but when i do, i generally have okay luck getting this to make the type of sound i am looking for.
5. Reaper's plugins.
• ReaFIR is one of the coolest things ever. It can be used as a very detailed EQ, as a multiband compressor, as a noise suppressor, as a very accurately tunable gate. Shit is crazy.
• ReaEQ is a great EQ.
• ReaVerb and ReVerbate both have usable sounds in them.
• ReaComp has some good features and okay presets. It is definitely usable.
6. Also, for the sort of thing that it is, George Yohng's W1 Limiter, is a workalike for Waves L1 Limiter plugin, and does indeed sound just as wretched as L1 on heavy limiting. I often use it set very lightly only as a peak limiter, because it is quick and easy and doesn't seem to be very resource hungry at it.
http://www.yohng.com/w1limit.htmlThere are all kinds of others out there, but the above are the ones i have used most often.
I am finally getting results i am happier with out of the junk gear i have at my disposal, also. At some point i will post some decent recoardings i did with the above things.
