Hi folks! Olav mentions the PSP Vintage Warmer and some other EQs and compressors as personal necessities. If it really is so great, I'd love to see/hear the PSP in action to determine if it's worth the $150. What 3rd party plugs could you (as Olav says) not live without? I've already expressed my interest in the Tone Gladiator to Rounik. Just wondering what other mixing/mastering plugs are really necessary for professional sounding audio. Thanks all! Jamie

Hey Jamie, A great thing about many third party plugins is that they have demo versions. You can download a demo of Vintage Warmer here: [url]http://www.pspaudioware.com/[/url] The same goes for Ozone 4: [url]http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/ozone/[/url] There are also some free audio units I have used - some have more real world use than others! You'll find posts about them in the Gear sub-forum: [url]http://www.macprovideo.com/forum/general/gear&id=10352[/url] Hope that helps Rounik

Rounik, I downloaded the PSP Warmer demo last night. Crazy sound improvement going on with that! Do you use it? The presets alone are worth it... Jamie

Hey Jamie, Well... I haven't actually given it a whirl. Thanks for the info. I'll give it a test in the near future! :) Rounik
