I'm finally getting back into recording and relearning a lot. I'm using Cubase Artist 8 and wondering what your top 3 or 5 plugins would be?... I'm not making music to distribute just for personal enjoyment.
I don't plan on any mastering beyond the basic functions of Cubase. I just want plugins to enhance a good mix mainly. To help some parts stand out really well such as guitars, bass and drums primarily. I mostly compose instrumentals without vocals.For mastering, synth sounds, drums, dynamics and modulation or what exactly ?
There are tons of plugins out there but honestly first get to know the stock ones. You should have all the bases covered with EQ and compression etc.I'm finally getting back into recording and relearning a lot.

iZotope music production suite
Slate Everything Bundle
Done.
The iZotope plugins are very good and have a lot of assistance if you are new to the process. Rx has some useful cleaning tools (pops, clicks) that come in handy if you have files with problems.Lots of great suggestions here. I'm not ready to drop $500-$1000 at the time. Just something to get me started with helping the mixes stand out and introduce me a bit to the mastering process. I saw Izotope elements suite on sale right now for $79. Includes Ozone elements, Neutron elements, Nectar elements and Rx elements.
Worth it? For what I'm after?
