One of my favorites for room recordings is the Kush Audio Clariphonic EQ. It's solely a parallel high shelf boost, but I find a little of it useful on most room stuff.
Izotope RX for it's denoiser
Any recommendations for a VST plug-in which can do hard limiting (compressors/limiters)? I used to use the built-in plug-in in Samplitude SE 10.2 in order to reduce the impact of individual claps (applause) and it worked great. However, apparently, that plug-in has been replaced by several different compressors / loudness maximers in Samplitude Music Studio 2016. And, even if you crank up the ratio of these compressors, they're not working like the hard limiter in the previous version used to work.

I am a big fan of iZotope's work. I love the EQ and maximizer wrapped into the Ozone package. I often will start with one of their presets and then tweak it and save it to my archive file.When I am doing restoration work I cannot speak highly enough of, and really, really love, RX 5 Connect. The ability to tie my editor straight into RX 5 Advanced and back so seamlessly is worth the price of admission, and that is a lot.@johnw, I am unsure what you do not find intuitive with MSED. It is such a simple tool I am unsure what I would do without it. I run a MS pair every opportunity I get. I love the flexibility in post. I have the ability to run Double MS now but am not sure that I want to take the gamble with how precise placement should be.
FYI, Ozone 7 has removed the Reverb module. This is unfortunate, as I thought it was very good and would use it along with other modules when recording MIDI tracks with virtual instruments.

I'm curious if you're just using the Width knob or if Rotation is of any use? I haven't tried this one but the Waves Imager has a rotation parameter, while most spreaders I've seen are just a single knob, so am wondering about this.

I haven't tried this one but the Waves Imager has a rotation parameter, while most spreaders I've seen are just a single knob, so am wondering about this."Rotation" only affects the central processing of the signal but doesn't touch the side processing. It really depends on the source material, if this useful or not. (I'm playing with a SBD mono feed from last night and Stereo Savage as we speak...)
Ozone Imager is now available separately for free https://www.izotope.com/en/products/master-and-deliver/ozone-imager.html
Get the niveau filter section of our famous mpressor plugin - it's free! Add punch to muffled snares, reduce the harshness from active pickups, create some wonderful Dub and LoFi sounds... there are so many ways to benefit from this little tool. It's fast, efficient, and most important: It sounds great! This filter is a specialist in changing the overall sonic character of a signal with ease. It features two comprehensive controllers and is capable of producing convincing results in no time at all. Whenever a classic shelving filter would be too limited and a fully parametric filter would be too much, the niveau filter is the perfect tool.Its main function is to change the proportions between high and low frequencies. The principle is quite similar to a pair of scales: Dependent on the gain setting around a variable center frequency, the high frequencies are boosted whereas the low frequencies are attenuated (or vice versa) at the same time.The center frequency can be shifted continuously between 26 Hz and 2.2 kHz or between 260 Hz and 22 kHz respectively (when the x10 switch is activated). The characteristics of the filter change in the extreme positions of the EQ Gain controller: The fully counter-clockwise setting will give you a low pass filter; fully clockwise position will result in a high pass filter
I like some of these ones.Free.http://antress.blogspot.com/

Related to that is the full suite of TDR labs plugins, most of which have free versions which are quite flexible and generally built with audio transparency being a critical consideration. Highly recommended http://www.tokyodawn.net/tokyo-dawn-labs/
