I CANNOT stress how awesome Soundtoys 5 is. I bought the full version last year and I'd venture to guess that one or two plugins have made it on to each session I've done since buying.

The Decapitator, Little AlterBoy, and Devil-Loc are my three current favorites. Effect Rack is also great for getting quick effects from the preset menu that sound great.

Aside from S5, I've been using Slate's Virtual Mix Rack as well as a slew of plugins from Waves and UAD. I have an Apollo Twin that came bundled with some plugins from UAD like the Neve 1073 channel strip. They do take a lot of DSP, so I don't use them too often, mainly just for tracking.

If you talking generators Im heavily into the korg modeling stuff. I use a lot as I love to use different ones but my go to plugins are, gladiator, nexus, Phutura, legacy cell, edirol orchestra and absynth. Guitar modeling is bias 2 hands down and I use a bass plugin called modo bass. As for mixing its waves and T-racks. The cla compressors are amazing and I always throw on the Cla guitar stereo onto my orchestral instruments as it always automatically stands out in the mix.
