1 - ARTURIA Filter MS-20
Filter MS -20 is a stereo Filter and distortion effect modeled on the famous Korg MS-20 Synthesizer. Filter MS-20 extracts the sonic character from an iconic instrument, distilling and enhancing it into a go-to product for creative mixing and radical sound exploration.
I've been using this plugin almost every day in my sound design sessions since it was released.
I used it also on the drum bus to give more character to the drums.
It's great on lead synths and on bass sounds.

4 - Frontier by D16 Group
Quality and performance makes Frontier a perfect tool for almost any studio situation. Its simple and clear interface in combination with excellent sound quality will surely be appreciated by any engineer looking for efficient way of controlling dynamics of a channel, bus or even master output.
Frontier can be used as very transparent mixing / mastering limiter (at certain settings) with just licking the loudest amplitude peaks, or can be utilised more creatively, as sound shaper, when more extreme settings are at stake.
You can get very nice results when inserted in your drum bus.
I found it really usefull to shape sample loops.
