Hi,

I've been quite out of touch with all the latest plugin releases over the last year or so and I'm wondering if I've missed anything worth getting?

I'm using Cubase 8 Pro which already comes with a stack of stuff. I also own :-

CHANNEL STRIPS
Izotope Ozone 5, IK Multimedia T-Racks DeLuxe, Izotope Alloy 2, Izotope Nectar 2, Voxengo Voxformer
EQ's
Native Instruments - Passive EQ, Enhanced EQ, Solid EQ
112dB - Redline EQ
Voxengo - Gliss Eq, Curve EQ
DDMF LP 10, IIEQ Pro
Focusrite RED 2
Tokyo Dawn Labs Slick EQ GE
COMPRESSORS
Native Instruments - Solid Buss Comp, Solid Dynamics, Supercharger GT, Vari Comp, VC160, VC2A, VC76
112dB - Big Blue Compressor
Focusrite - Red 3 Compressor
Stillwell - Bombardier
Voxengo - Soniformer
Tokoyo Dawn Labs - Kotelnikov GE
LIMITERS
112dB - Big Blue Limiter
Voxengo - Elephant
REVERBS
Acon - Verberate
Native Instruments - RC24, RC48
112dB - Redline Reverb
AMPS
Native Instruments - Guitar Rig 5 Pro
Overloud - Mark Bass Studio2
MISCELLANEOUS
Native Instruments - Driver, Transient Master
112dB - Redline Preamp, Redline Monitor
Fabfilter - Pro-DS
Voxengo - Transgainer

I don't use quite a few of these plugins anymore (112dB stuff, Voxengo Soniformer + EQ's, T-Racks 3 DeLuxe).
Is there anything that would be worth auditioning/adding that would be an improvement over what I already own?

Exponential Audio reverbs ? ( Phoenix and R2 )

Maybe not a *step up*, but defintely some of the best sounding reverbs.

Maybe Acon Equalize as far as eq go, and Klanghelm Mjuc for a color compressor ?
I am also liking BlueCat Dynamics4 more and more, as well as their MB7 multiband plugin, which is very handy.
... but I think you're already pretty much setup with what you have

By the way, out of curiosity, how do you like the Focusrite plugins ?

Gotta try a valhalla reverb man.

Yeah Klanghelm MJUC is the standout for me over the last year.
NI Replika is a great delay, but many have issues with it so ymmv.

Klanghelm and Valhalla stuff is worth checking out.

Thanks for the replies. I had Valhalla Room until I heard Acon's Verberate!
I've heard lots of great things about Klanghelm products so will demo those. Acon Equalize caught my eye when it was released and I'm going to try the demo and will be picking up their Rostoration Suite at some point.

I really like the Focusrite plugins (particularly the Red 3 Compressor). I find it sounds pretty clean and uncoloured.

Thank you.

There is no demo. Well, there are smaller free plugins (like with TDR), but it really doesn't show what the full featured version is capable. i wasn't very much impressed by the free version of DC8C2 and SDRR, buti am really enjoying the full versions.
So, i would suggest to buy the full versions straight away

... and it's getting better and better

Klanghelm's MJUC for sure and SKNote's Disto is getting a lot of love from a compressor perspective.

You are well equiped and missed nothing. Learn what you have. IMHO.

Dicki, you did not miss anything except you need to sell some of those that you have.

Any new plugins a step up from what I already use?
