Favorite PSP plug-ins:

"I've been using PSP plug-ins on virtually every project I work on.  My  recent particular favorites have been the PSP VintageWarmer (mostly for Vocals)…..The Lexicon PSP42 ( for Guitars and Vocals)…..and the PSP Saturator ( for basically  “rescuing”  problematic Keyboards and Guitars).

What I love about the PSP array of plug-ins, aside from their high audio quality,  is that they are “tweaky” enough to satisfy the ( admitted) audio geek / control freak in me, yet simple enough to not interrupt my basic desire to work quickly and efficiently. "
