Hi,  I'm really inexperienced with mixing.  My mixes always turn out bad and  I think it could be the stock plug-ins arent what I need.  Since the topic is sort of vague, I was looking for any good EQ,  stereo shaping, reverb,  just the general basic plug-ins I would need.  I hope this isn't breaking any of the rules but I have no idea where to look for some good ones.  Thank you in advance.

Which DAW?

Get your hands on something visual like FabFilter Pro Q or there was one out awhile ago called apEQ. Probably loads more now but they would be something I use.

If your new to mixing its good to get a visual idea of where frequencies are situated in the spectrum. These plugins will do just that  ;)
I've heard fab filter mentioned by a friend once,  so I'll have to look at it.  Thank you for the recommendation :)

FabFilter ProQ2 is probably my favorite plugin that I currently use. Definitely recommend.
