Cicely's top 5 plug-ins: "I stress that they don’t work on everything! So they are the Maag EQ4, Oxford Limiter, Fabfilter L2, Brainworx Townhouse Compressor, and Leapwing Stage One – I wouldn’t recommend having only those ones, as none of them are very neutral but they all make ‘colorful’ additions to the standard ones most DAWs come with."
