If you were starting from scratch what plugs would you buy?

Regarding Waves I recently went from Gold to Platinum. It was cheaper than doing WUP. There are a few Waves plugs I may update like Reel ADT.

Recently bought a Mac Studio and in the process of transitioning.

This is a non commercial studio.

Plugs I thought were essential : Izotope Ozone. I've been a Ozone guy since Ozone 3. I can upgrade for $149 US, which is over $200 CAD

Worth it?

I'm on a PT perpetual license (for now) and trying to learn and love logic.

So, happy to hear form fellow DUC posters as to what to keep, what to ditch and how to move forward.

Been using PT since 2002-- For me and what I do ( mostly acoustic guitar and vocals and some few VI ) and because it is my personal use only , I find I am leaning more and more towards KISS
If I were to start over I would be fine with the bundled PT plugins and only a very few 3rd party ....
I would add Liquid Sonics Seventh Heaven reverb
Also being on a Mac would also add Massey L2007 limiter, and possibly Massey Golden Master soft clipper
And because I publish to YouTube the Nugen Master Check for YT level

Must add to this TC Electronic everything. They used to be TDM only but now offer AAX-native. Also there is some life in Lexicon so the reverbs just might get to Apple Silicon after all.
