KStrip

It's on every track!

The preamp models alone are worth the price of admission, especially with 4x or more oversampling. You really could mix a whole album with this plugin doing most compression and eq tasks, it's super flexible and I love mixing and matching modules.

I use this on almost every track in a mix. The versatility means it's useful in so many different situations. Plus, there's a little magic in the plugin that just kinda does something to make everything sound a little better.

The Best Channel Strip

If you simply insert this onto every track, you’ll be set for any song. Ideally, though, it would have been great if the API EQ offered a stepped control option, just like the hardware unit.
