I do a flanger, de-esser and compressors

You'll have to be able to use AU (Audio Units). These are all AU. The most popular AU host is probably Logic (Express or Pro). You can even use them in GarageBand though

also, Amadeus, AU Lab and other such 2-track editors. We're probably talking Logic though. Not Pro Tools (home of Waves and iLok

)
The flanger only does a superclear tape-style thing at different speeds. De-esser addresses the extremely high stuff, it's not a Spitfish style ess-notcher- it deals with stuff that's frying the DAC as if it was a cutting lathe de-esser (not tested for that). Two different compressors.
I just uploaded some more sound clips for the website, have a preview of what's going to be going up there soon-

I'll be putting the clips up here later tonight- this is the store:

And in conclusion- my position on things like iLok etc is the Anti-Waves
Cheers, hope somebody finds something useful...
