ok, here goes…
Synths/instruments
Synth1
Oatmeal - nice synth, comes with a handful of skins iirc, i like using this one
HGFortune synths - these are THE shit, especially for FX
Compressors/limiters
Molot compressor - check the other plugins as well
Loudmax - Handy and simple limiter
Rough rider
Saturation/distortion
FerricTDS
CMT Bitcrusher
Reverbs/delays
TAL-dub TAL-dub II especially
Epicverb
Ambience
Bionic supa delay
I definitely recommend BlueCat (for the Spectrum analyser, chorus and flanger) and Reaplugs (ReaXcomp, ReaEQ) bundles too

a kitchen has a palette of potential gold drums if you have even a shit mic
sometimes its even preferable to have a shit mic for recording percs and similar, because it creates these otherworldly artifacts
get cooking
let alone …

Egoless put up a free sample pack:
// Egoless Analog Sample Pack #1
Inside this small pack you’ll find various sounds from distorted bass tones, lo-fi snares, dub style synth percussions, spring reverb crashes, analog sine waves distorted through a spring tank or oldschool preamp from the 70-ies + a few more things on the odd side. Computer was used only for recording. Feel free to creatively use it in your productions and share this post … Respect!

I’ve just installed it. Will try it out soon. I will let you know, but it seems pretty cool. Arturia worked with Bob Moog back in 2003 and that is what this filter is based on.
