Legend4ry's essential workflow plugins (vst, some au/rtas)

if we're talking freebies, may i add the SSL LMC, really nice for parallel compression. literally just crank it right up and mix it in.

This is pretty good!

Its an instant sampler that sits in the plugin chain of any channel, and instantly samples whatever is coming into its sidechain input, and then your able to play it via midi instantaneously.

another handy freebie is sonEQ, a pultec style eq.

[Teknicyde]

there is a multiband version, which sadly comes with a price tag

And oh how this made me think.

If you were to route a signal to 3 mixer tracks, set them so you have a 3 band linear phase EQ on each, and mute the bands one at a time, like you were frequency splitting a bass... Then put a colored compressor like roughrider or one of the antress comps on each band, after the linear phase EQ... Youd have a roughrider/antress/w.e. multiband compressor in essence...

Brainwave I thought I would share because my favorite compressor (antress) doesnt have a multiband version at all, and roughrider charges you to put a linear-phase EQ before the compressor... Some people might find it useful...

its okay to post workarounds, just not piracy, right?
