Tom McKenzie - Directions (Robert's Mix)

[Mike Senior]

So many lovely plugins. I'm using Logic's stock ones and a couple of low end Waves plugs I bought two or three years ago. *sigh*

There are impulse responses of the UAD 140 and 250 plug-ins available for free from Echochamber. There's a link to that site (and a bunch of other decent reverb freeware) here. The freeware Sonimus SonEQ plug-in's lovely-sounding too (amongst the links here). There are plenty of affordable 'character' compressors as well, such as the ones from Stillwell/Schwa and Eareckon.

In short, the UAD stuff is lovely, but I wouldn't get too down in the mouth without it, as plenty of joy to be had with less pricey native stuff.
