I downloaded the whole pack of Antress plugins and I'm in love with them. I wanted to try them but had nothing to mix and didnt feel like going through old projects. So I saw that Mixit3 project that was on a thread somewhere and since I didn't know the material I thought it would be a good piece to try it. So I mixed this in Reaper with free plugins only, except for Elephant 3 which I bought, everything else is freeware plugins AND 99% of comps used were from antress, being pushed pretty hard on bass, drums and vocals, used some EQs as well. Anyways here it is:

Obviously the recording itself is really good but honestly? These plugins are sounding really good, I really like them, it's obviously not a perfect mix since I didn't take it too seriously just more of a trial run for these plugins and a free vst only mixing
So I dont agree with the statement that they suck
