I’m still exploring but I love frequency 2. While not a plugin, I also love the channel strip for every track.
Least favorite so far would maybe be the compressor. It is not bad at all and does what it needs but kind of meat and potatoes. I prefer my Black Rooster compressor or something with more color than this.
By far my most used stock plug is frequency. What an outstanding stock eq! Also supervision, which I use on every single project. It’s an essential part of my workflow. The channel strip eq gets lots of love here too with the ability to stack the FFT of 2 tracks and also the nice options for hi/low shelf types that have cool resonances at high Q values. Any stock plugins I don’t use as much isn’t because of the sound quality usually but rather because the interface of a 3rd party plugin allows me to get where I want to go faster than the stock equivalent. Ex: modmachine
What do you use supervision for?
To check for phase issues, stereo spread by frequency mainly. It’s literally always open on an iPad I set up as a 3rd monitor during my mixing.
Interesting. Thanks!
