Used to love the PowerCore compressor/limiter, now I can't use it anymore. Now I use:
- Waves C1
- Waves R1
- Kjaerhus Classic (not in the master chain, but it's a good "soft" compressor for pads and leads)
- TC Native Compressor DeEsser (for kick and drums)
- Nomad CP2S or FA770 (not both) - good for more acoustic/organic sounds
- A whole whack of Antress plugins that are all free and surprisingly good.
These aren't the best in the world, but I get by. I want to emphasize that last link - I stumbled upon these, I've never heard anybody talk about them, but the guy has programmed something like 25 different compressors, EQs and limiters, all pretty good quality and with their own distinct sounds.
Would love to get a UAD to replace the now-defunct PowerCore, but I'm not prepared to shell out that kind of money at this point given the minimal amount of time I get to dedicate to production.
Edit: Also the db audioware sidechain compressor, but obviously only for those rare instances when I need a sidechain, and never on the master.
