Studio Devil Virtual Bass Amp is really good and inexpensive

Sounds great and use very low resources. I use it for recording primarily after I record the bass DI

+1000 for the Studiodevil. I have all the amp sims out there even the new markbass one. (which I like more than the Ampeg SVX) the studiodevil has got them beat. The warmth is unbelievable, I run it with IR's and all I got to say is WOW.

I have a terrabyte library for Kontakt and am testing 3.5. RMX 1.8 is a cool upgrae and omnisphere as well. My new fav orchestral vst/lib is symphobia. Cheaper and better sounding than East/West.

Waves api, even though I hate waves.

Not surprisingly, these:

Unfortunately, they're PC only.

I've since migrated to mac, but still load tracks into my PC just to be able to use them.
