Growing my collection of Analog Obsession. Just wow. Also LoudMax is really impressive and sounds better than various non-free alternatives. Thanks so much.

Supercharger in the Komplete Start bundle is one of my faves for compression, and out of toneboosters legacy plugins, the De-esser, Baracade and EQ and although its not Free and only in FL...Frequency splitter in FL really cleans up things.

I had no idea MEqualizer had M/S. I was using TDR Nova with the difference being that with TDR NOVA you chose if you are processing Mid or Side per instance of the plugin, instead of per band which can be annoying (since you have to setup a second instance) but rare. Massive thumbs up for LoudMax, so simple and so useful. I often use it as a second limiter.

An unrelated question: how do you know when you are over saturating while mastering? I'm not talking about perceivable distortion but sometimes I get the feeling that I over did it but I'm not sure. My "feeling" is that the song got compressed, but if I don't get there, I have a hard time listening to the saturation effect.

[eddje]

you guys are such legends!!!
me personally id love a vid like this but about low cpu usage plugins.I have a pretty good beefy desktop but i only really get to it in the final stages other than that i'm usually on my laptop for the inital creation of the concept and its not as powerful i kinda know what plugins i can use on it by now but information is so hard to find about vst cpu usage u always end up getting stuck with bad quality plugins unless u do them one by one hope this helps u guys create more great content! defiantly a fan of you guys

TDR Nova is one of the best free dynamic eq available.
