Proaudiodsp DSM and Sonnox Limiter.

The DSM for freq. spectrum and dynamics adjustments, and at the same time reigning in any HF distortions or vocal esses etc. Just the greatest single tool for these applications out there IMO. Takes a bit of practice to get the hang of it, but once you really understand how to use it - just amazing!

The Ox Limiter for a touch of limiting, a bit of harmonic saturation if the track calls for it and final intersample over protection and dither.

Between these two you'll also have all the clean power and presence you need.

If allowed a third plug, my choice would be the Ox Inflator for harmonic saturation. I'd run the Inflator on a parallel track about 9 dB down in relation to the main track. In this case I would not use the "enhance"/"safe mode" saturation on the Limiter.

All three plugs designed by Paul Frindle, who is a GS member and posts on this forum from time to time.
