Waves Center is handy for adjusting center to sides balance in a stereo image. I mean, you can do that yourself with mid/side routing, but it's handy to just adjust a couple controls in a plugin.

Before getting Ozone Advanced, my favorite limiter was Elephant by Voxengo. It has several algorithms you can flip through quickly while playing your material, so you kind of get a quick gut reaction to each. Ok, too smooth, too punchy, that one makes me feel a bit anxious etc.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that having the ears and mindset are more important than having whatever tool everyone is raving about at any particular moment.

I used to buy tons of plugins, or acquire them through other means, whatever was supposedly the latest and greatest. Now I probably use stock plugins in my DAW 75% of the time, and try not to read the various online forums such as Gearsluts, where people debate endlessly about different plugins.

+1 for ozone and fabfilter. I also use a few from voxengo, waves and plugin alliance.

Agreed. You could probably master entirely with
the stock plugins in Samplitude.

If I were to pick one other company whose
products get mentioned a lot, it would be Fab
Filter. I have no idea how accessible their stuff
is, so I'll just asume it exposes parameters in
sonar's inspector the way other effects do.
