I just have one [third-party] plug-in, the Slate Digital VTM. It's a reel-to-reel tape emulator.
moreI find this works nicely at smoothing the top end on either individual sources or busses
i mostly use it on the master channel to get that analog warmth that tape has
I use this one on almost every track and it definitely makes them all better. Sometimes i don't use it on bass heavy kicks because it's saturating them in a way i don't really like, sometimes it happens on basses too. I try to set it really subtle on them anyway, but there are situations when i don't use it. They are really really rare.
Best tape emulation on the market! Low end is amazing with the bass alignment feature!
