I never really understood the hype about fabfilter pro-q. It's nice and all but I dislike the workflow of it.

Anyways...

EQ - Logic Pro X EQ
Reverb -Waves Rverb
Delay - Waves H-delay/Fabfilter Timeless
Compression - Waves Rcompressor
Synth - Sylenth/Massive
Daw - Logic Pro <3


Extras...

Stereo Imaging - Waves Doubler & S1 Imager. :)

I would actually just repeat this post. Exactly the same. ...just with Dune2 instead of Hive. But Zebra's still the best.

Yeah, I was playing around with Zebra last night.  Lookin at the newish Massive Modular skin (on the KVR forum if you haven't seen it).

I cannot wait for the (eventual) release of Zebra3.  The gui could use a healthy update to match its sonic capabilities!

EQ - fabfilter Pro-Q 2 without question.

reverb - I use Lexicon on my sends a lot, Valhalla on my inserts or sends and sometimes I like to use Oxford Sonnox on my drums. Cant fall off with Valhalla for the price though.

Sidechain - LFO Tool or Kickstart if I am feeling lazy. Don't count out volume automations either - lots of control.

compression - fab filter Pro-C, Cytomic The Glue or the compressor inside Oxford Sonnox Dynamics plugin.

synth - Cant pick one! literally have about 6 I love haha: Korg plugins, sylenth, MiniV, Diva, ACE, Few rob papen plugins, Bought 'REV' which is cool for ambiences - so many great synths man.

daw - FL Studio

EQ - Fruity Parametric EQ 2
Reverb - Valhalla Hall
Sidechain - Volume Shaper 4
Compression - Maximus
Synth - Zebra 2, Hive, DUNE 2, Harmor, Serum
DAW - FL Studio

There is no clear winner of the 5 synths, so consider them all to be my favorite.

EQ: Fabfilter Pro-Q (Can't go wrong)
Reverb: I'm between on this right now. I was using Lexicon but it was causing problems so right now I'm using FL's stock Reverb 2.
Delay: Typically integrated synth delays in Massive or Harmor for example.
Sidechain: Fruity Limiter or if I want a constant rhythm then Kickstart.
Compression: Maximus
Saturation: Maximus?
DAW: FL Studio
