best, worst, cheapest, plug-ins for CW9

[stratman]

Can anybody tell what are the best, worst, cheapest, and most practical plug-ins I can get for my Cakewalk Pro Audio 9?

The ones i mostly use are the Sonic Foundry SFX packs. cakewalk makes good packs in fx pack 2 and 3. waves also makes good plugins. but really it all depends on what you what it to do and sound like. I think alot of the plugins have trials to them er demos. just try some out and see what ones you like. if yah need more help or have a question on some of them reply back and ill help yah out and review some for yah.

I've done all the demos and liked the power pack stuff by Waves best. Went out and bought some outboard gear instead.

well. i just checked out some new plugins. as far as compression goes. waves makes an awesome compressor (as well as all the other effects in the gold bundle 3). however, the bundle does not have a reverb effect (its more like a room emulator). so as far as the reverb goes, get the timeworks reverb. however, these are very expensive plugins.
