Reaper DAW: This is a highly recommended mention from me. Waves isn't as extreme as the other two, but helps when you need something not so extreme. *2C Audio "Aetherverb" Strange/grainy/Self Modulating Algorhythmic verb Mostly for realistic, as well as strange convolution verb fx) *AudioEase "Altiverb" (This is a must have.

Some of these are freeware, some are paid. I'm just going to keep it as strictly DSP FX. Although you could consider it synthesis with the level I take it all to, I'm not even going to get into actual synthesis with this list. Some of my favorites have already been mentioned here like: the Soundhack bundles (I Beta test for them and the new PVOC bundle out soon is insane) and Buffer Override (amongst other sick stuff from Destroy FX). Most of these would go in my "secret weapons" list for that other thread on here. Needless to say, these are also some of my favorite effects for sound design for picture as well. Sometimes they're split with multiband filters sending different portions of the signal to different effects for some twisted layering. Some of this requires splitting busses out to other FX chains at different stages in the signal flow. Tons of multi-routed FX auxes, shit tons of automation, mutes and fx punches. I'm really big into Delays, reverbs, bitcrushers, distortions, and filters. I'll make 10+ variations of a percussion pattern and then chop and slice those into new patterns as well. I stay away from presets and pretty much custom design everything in my music 90% of the time. I basicaly made a modular environment out of my plug-ins (and outboard gear as well). Some of my FX chains get 10-15 plug-ins deep. Anyone can slap an autoslice/fx and call it glitch (and it usually shows). If you put in the time to go the extra mile and not use the quick and easy route the hard work pays off. They've become so over abused that they sound a bit cliche and predictable to me (and a lot of other well respected IDM producers I know). You might want to avoid common plug-ins like Stutteredit, Glitch, Etc. That's where I'd start if you want unique and interesting results. I'm very big into custom recordings and found sounds. Lots of custom recordings (I'm especially fond of not just using standard mics, but contact mics at the same time as regular mics).
