Hey Michael,

When compiling lists, we sometimes overlook the blooming obvious. Was looking at a couple of really great VST plug-ins from SSL. I know most folks here probably couln't afford their gear, but they do do some chopped down stuff for the home recording market.....

Freebies are ...

http://www.solid-state-logic.com/music/X-ISM/index.asp Adigital peak limiter for mastering.

Both require registration, but worth it for a couple of classic sounding VST's.

Also, Mix Magazine http://mixonline.com/ , always a good read.
