Lol, I may or may not have some iZotope software.

Ozone 5, yo. I have a cracked version, but I’m not so sure it could be done again, they’ve probably upped their game since four or five years ago.

I could spend tens of thousands of dollars on plug-ins. They’re better than “gear”, in the hardware sense, imho.

I have spent prolly $10k on plugins. Including, I think, Ozone 7. Haven't gone 8 yet.

Problem with Ozone is it's... aggressive. If you don't know what you're doing you crush the dynamic range into grape jelly.

As far as I'm concerned, though, the cool stuff out of Izotope is the creative plugins. Iris is basically a Korg Wavestation from hell:

Stutter Edit is... well, it's stutter edit:

And Trash is the most fun distortion plugin I've ever played with and I have more than a few.

I got the most basic version of their mastering suite when it was on sale for $30 eight months ago. It’s consistently cleaner and better than what I can master with extensive tweaking and long lists of plugins, lol.

Yeah I think my mastering chain, if I had to pay for it, would be about $2100.

I can recommend the Sonnox Elite Oxford Limiter, it was always the last thing on my master track.

Mannnnnn I can’t wait to get back into producing.

I got a shit-ton. It's super-handy. I've got movies on television that would not have been possible without RX. However it's worth pointing out that "final mix" was a product that they didn't even tell the beta tester pool about. They just launched it. And then they sold it to video editors. Who decided it sucked.

And when video editors think your audio product sucks? it sucks. But it might not forever.
