Hi Josie,

Since I bought Ozone and Nectar, I've found that I don't use too much in the way of plugins because those programs have pretty much what I need.

That being said ...

1. For EQ, I really like the versatility of Reapers EQ.

2. ReaComp is also a great compressor. I don't compress too often but, when I do, I use one of the presets and then modify it to suit my need. I also like simplicity of the the "Classic Compressor" from Kjaerhus Audio (it's free). It's a great little unit.

3. Reverb: I have two buses set up - one with a short reverb and the other with a longer reverb. These are part of my beginning template. Like you, I use TC M 30. I like the PG Music reverb too. Unfortunately, Reaper doesn't show the PG Music presets so I load the reverb onto a track in Realband and then have a listen to the different presets. When I find one I like, I use the snipping tool to capture a picture of the settings and then I duplicate those settings in Reaper.

4. ReaTune is a must for me. My voice doesn't always sing in tune so I manually touch up the wonky notes using the tuning plugin that comes with Reaper.

Other than the above, it's all Ozone and Nectar.

Hope this gives some insight,
Noel
