So simple to work this VST and its sound is so full. It may or may not be what occupies 80% of the MIDI in my projects.

LIVE MASTER RACE BEST DAW KING OF MUSIC SOFTWARES

Best reverb plugin for the price hands down.

Think of this like the same thing as ValhallaRoom, but B I G G E R

*sniff* y'all got any more of that uhhhhh *scratches neck* lofi?? (Great plugin)

This thing is a power house and is completely FREE if you have Reaktor 6. It's RC-20 but harder to use, and it sounds better.

Seriously simplifying the mastering process down to 10 minutes or less of brain power. Infinite utility in this thing, it saves so much time!

Once I own a house, I will build a bronze shrine in the basement to iZotope Trash2. This plugin has entirely changed my music and sheer existence on this earth. Buy it.

It's the only piano I ever use. I do plan on upgrading this but it's solid as can be for how much it costs!

While quite subtle, the effects Nectar 3 provides truly tie a vocal together with itself and a mixdown. Again, iZotope nails simplicity spot-on.

The best ending to your mastering chain I think you could choose. (This is coming from someone who purchased and used Waves L3 for over two years.) So transparent and powerful, you can really do a lot with loudness using FF's L2!

Pro-Q 3 is perhaps one of the most useful EQs in existence today, at least for how much it costs. Nearly unlimited power in a single instance, you will likely not be doubling this up in your chains nearly as much as your DAW's native EQ.

AlterBoy does a decent job with monophonic pitch stability, and the Formant knob really brings this one onto the forefront when you need something in a different key and/or tonality range. It usually only freaks out with pitch glitches if you're also teasing it with other pitch shifting.

This is what has served me for every electric guitar need in my music for the past 6 years and still going strong. Made in Mexico is still quite decent.

This is one of the best-sounding acoustic guitars I've ever heard. By far one of the easiest to play too, and mine has held up very well for years and years. My only complaint is the pickup/mic which is trash, however I've never used it really and you probably wouldn't either so it's no big problem.

Very solid 5" monitors with best-in-class mid & top end clarity. Even in an untreated room, these will kick your understanding of mixdowns up at least a notch or two if you are currently on a sub-par system.

The drivers in the DT 1770 Pro sound stunning and the soundstage/stereo image representation they offer is incredible for a pair of closed back headphones. To add, the build quality is exceptionally chunky while remaining light enough on your head. They fit incredibly well around your entire ear, are comfortable to wear for hours, and the headband can extend to fit any size head. The sound isolation is top notch with both the default velour ear pads and even moreso with the pleather ear pads. The wired connection is a chunky 3-pin mini-XLR which also lends a feeling of superior design & manufacturing. My three qualms are as follows. 1: The ear pad replacement system is utterly archaic for how beautifully designed the rest of these cans are. 2: The earcups don't swivel back & forth more than a few degrees, and 3: There isn't a connection point on the right earcup; changing these would greatly improve convenience. They're also a bit pricey considering Beyerdynamic doesn't do anything crazy in regards to the little extra details. That being said, they're the core bread and butter of studio closed backs done right and durably. In love with these currently!

Maul (discontinued) is the saturation and subtle distortion nemesis to Trash2. While it wont get you all sorts of mangled mid tones, and is lacking anything comparable to the "Convulsion" tab in Trash, it truly brings out the best in the sounds you want distorted. I miss it dearly and will be trying to find a working version.

The sound profile from this pair is second to none, however the build quality is still lacking, and hasn't moved on from its predecessors. While the 50x's at least had a 2-pin system which held the earcups onto the frame, the 70x's merely have an internal plastic screw which connects these bits, and also allows for the 45 degree rotation of each earcup. This piece of plastic is what failed on mine, forcing me to glue it back as it had entirely shattered. There was no way to temporarily fix the problem, like the pin system on the 50s allows you to do. Disappointing to say the least, but the glue has held for a year until the other earcup snapped this past December. RIP
