Compression:
UAD L2A, UAD Fairchild 670, Puncher

Limiting:
Waves L2

EQ
UAD Pultec

If I had to have 1 plugin to do anything...IQ4GUI. It's effectively EQ and dynamics in one box.

That and KarmaFX Reverb.

If you want a flexible compressor, look into http://www.Reaper.fm 's reaplugs download. ReaComp is good.

Compression: Sonalksis
Limiting: PSP Xenon
EQ: Sonnox Oxford
Reverb: Wizoo W2

None! all I need is Logic Studio.
(besides it doesn't support VST, VST is becoming a dead standard on the Mac, with more companies supporting Audio Units and RTAS.)

:shock: 8)

Compression. I really don't like digital EQ. I would rather take along an analog EQ, but that just isn't a VST... :lol:

I would want one that would send a DISTRESS signal!

MDA's Test Tone?

That generates signals

I've been digging on Massey plugs lately here at school.

I'd let my Mbox go down with the ship. I'd spend the rest of my days wasting away wishing I had a Boss Br-1600.

Reverb: Variverb Pro by Magix but if I had a choice I'd lug a lexicon by the larc to shore with me.

An API or Neve Mike preamp. You don't need any processing with those.

Oh and WASABI to go with all the fish I'll be eating, raw.

I can just see Remy washed up on the beach with her Mercedes truck going "Well business couldn't be any worse here, beachfront recording"

Sounds like a place the Stones would go to record.

What about virtual instruments guys? If you had to take one one synth and one 'natural' instrument (i.e a non-synth instrument). For me, it most likely would be (right now):

Synth: Tone2 Gladiator
Natural Instrument: Steinberg The Grand 2

Your thoughts?

for me it would be

sonnox inflator
sonnox limiter
sonnox transmod
waves renaissance vox
waves renaissance eq
logic space designer
logix exs24
line6 pod farm
ni battery 3

these are the ones i use the most or alternatively could replace any other plugin with.

GREETINGS!
After discusssing this topic with a fellow mixing engimineer ... it has boiled down to 2 plugs, ear plugs..
ok all jokes aside.
the two happen to be from waves, according to him it is the waves ssl colab channel strip AND the API waves channel strip.

but i would humbly add in my opinion
the PSP vintage warmer and also a free ware plug in
called the 2 rule filter cuz it makes drums sound extra terrestrial( its the only way i could describe it)
