can somebody recommend me free plugins?

[JBroll]

That was summed up in a particularly silly post in an old thread about clipping - it wasn't my idea originally. The quick, smurf-free explanation is that one just winds up pushing each individual squisher less and getting less pumping, crackling, and the like.

Honestly, I tried the Posihwhatever version of Electri-Q for awhile, but went back to ReaEQ as I thought it sounded more transparent

I hate Poshiposhitfuckassdickshupityshap Eq, same here, ReaEq is all good for me

"limited" (SHAZAM!!!)

Did an extensive research on free plugins this year. The ones that I recommend the most are

Clipper: Gvst - Gclip
HPF/LPF: Gvst - Gband
Maximizer: Tin Brooke Tales - TLs Maximizer
Compressor/Limiter: Variety Of Sound - Density MKII (I can´t stress enough how good this plugin is)
Analyzer: Voxengo SPAN

I´m not sure if Reaper´s plugins works on other DAWs and if they´re considered free, but the ReaPlugs suite is great.

Man, GVST suite just rocks my balls so hard. Seriously. It's awesome.
