Really powerful features, easy to use and very transparent. I love this eq – it’s my meat and potatoes. Price - £134, or part of a bundle – demo available With FabFilter Pro-Q 3, you get the highest possible sound quality, a very extensive feature set, and a gorgeous, innovative interface with unrivalled ease of use.’ ‘An equalizer is probably the tool you use most while mixing and mastering, so you need the best of the best. The following ‘top 10’ are products are in no particular order of merit – you can’t compare a reverb to an eq!

I’m sorry that I’ve left so many favourites out, but who wants to read a Top 100? There is no definitive top 10, so this is merely my top ten go to plug ins. The options available can be downright bewildering. There are thousands of products out there, from freeware through donationware to paid for (modestly priced to eyewatering!), not to mention the generous bundles of plug ins that come with your DAW of choice.
Is there a definitive top ten audio fx plugins?
