What are your fav stock plugins in Cubase 12 (if any new for Cubase 13 please mark with C13)?
I am just curious for now :wink:

I use Magneto 2 all the time

The multiband Envelope shaper is great for kicks and snares.

The new Voxcomp compressor in C13 is brilliant too

FX Modulator, Imager, Squasher (Essential)

With the arrival of C13 :
Black Valve (Nice), Pultec EQs, VocalChain (it can do everything on its own), Vocoder, VoxComp (Nice)

Oh yeah forgot Supervision - thats how plugins should be. The resizing and display options are excellent

  • Frequency 2
  • SuperVision
  • Compressor (the standard one)
  • Gate
  • FX Modulator
  • MultiTap Delay
  • PingPong Delay

Generally speaking, I use a lot of the stock VSTs and the console strip. Sometimes, I put temporarily VoxComp on a insert slot when a client wants to listen to the newly recorded vocals in the mix during the session. At a later time, I move differently (hardware).

  • SuperVIsion
  • Frequency2 - I like it but until they update the GUI and add more shapes, I can’t use it as my ‘goto’ EQ
  • MonoDelay
  • EnvelopeShaper - IMO better than many 3rd party transient shapers
  • Compressor
  • Raise - I like it but still not as good as the best brickwall limiters on the market
  • Revelation - I like it since Dom Sigalas showed how to get nice presets out of it
  • Reverence - good enough for IR
  • StereoEnhancer - my ‘mono maker’ for the instrument tracks

C13:

  • VoxComp - brilliant replacer of RVox (the more Waves replacements the better)
  • BlackValve - I like the minimum parameters approach

In the past:

  • QuadraFuzz v1 - v2 is not the same, not even close

I’ve gone from using half a dozen instances of reverb plugins (Valhalla, mostly, but also Exponential Audio, as was) of various sizes to just the one: Reverence.
If I need a flanger or chorus my gotos are the stock ones.

Love the ExponentialAudio reverbs!!
