Today on TAXI TV they had producer Rob Chiarelli on the show. He gave lots of great mixing advice, and at the end of the show he gave a code to download his Mix Bus EQ-7A plug-in for free.

He also has some other great affordable plug-ins on his site finalmix.biz

I got the free EQ and purchased 3 other plug-ins from the site for $19 each. I've only messed around with them a little bit but I'm very impressed. Go check them out and get the code for the free download from TAXI TV.

I use Ozone as my final and sometimes not so final plug

Final Mix is just the name of the site. I got the free Mix Bus EQ, the Drum Bus Saturator, the Synth/Keys Saturator and the M1 Limiter (which is what really turned me on to the site... OMG it is awesome!) for less than $60. It is definitely worth checking out.

I was contemplating buying the Izotope Elements bundle (and still might in the future) but don't want to drop that kind of money on a VST at the moment. I need to save up for a new PA for my solo shows.
