Reaper - what are your favorite VST

I use IK Multimedia's "Ampeg SVX" and Steven Slate Drums, v. 4 I think. Both will take a bit of fooling around with to get dialed in. The Ampeg is easy to install, but a pain in the ass at first to figure out how to use. SSD is a ridiculously hard install, imo, but well worth it. YouTube made it much easier!

NI Battery is the least friendly of its products to install. Guitar Rig 3 fails, but works enough to let me install my Guitar Rig 4 update on top. 4 gives me enough to not need 5.
 
Tokyo Dawn Labs has some cool free plugins. I'm currently messing around with the Chris Lord Alge plug-in suite from Waves. I'm just a hobbiest who likes to record rehearsals and turn the better tracks into demos. I'm working on a couple songs this week that were sounding pretty good using standard FX chains of compressors, eq, reverb & delay. I downloaded the CLA demo just to try remixing with something different. Within minutes, I had a mix that I like a lot better than my original.
