To the young mixing engineers who feel overwhelm bout the number of plugins out there, just remember you can do a perfectly fine mix with 2 plugins that are already in your DAW. An EQ and a compressor.

Matter of fact, sometimes you dont even need those plugins if your signal was recorded in a great studio/room. You can EQ without a plugin simply by using microphone techniques like, stepping away from the mic during a loud section... You can compress without a compressor using volume automation.

Your mix quality is dependent on

- The artist recording skills and performance 50%

- Instrument arrangement. Panning, volume, cut edit 40%

- Your plugins 10%

Try do most things manually so you dont use too many plugins that will take away processing power.

Cheers.

Kotelikov has become my favorite all around compressor. Slick EQ GE and Slick EQ M blow me away. The output gain compensation is priceless.

As a beginner in producing music and sound engendering I've always found your tutorials very informative and helpful to my work.
