I use several tape emulation plugins, I have been using the TM700 more often! Sounds Good!
TAPE ZOO took a little while to figure out but now that I have, I can hear how useful it is on my parallel drum bus, making synths more exciting, and shaping groups of backing vocals. The presets provide very good settings to start with.

Soon after, Sal relocated to Nashville where his musical efforts quickly earned him a #1 single he co-wrote and a Grammy Nomination for best Rock Album.

Came across one of the finest Analog style Tube EQ's (BlackQ) by "Tone Empire" with sweet analog warmth and colour, extra saturation can be achieved via the drive knob as well. Put it on my mixbuss and the whole mix instantly transformed with a beautiful analog vibe. This would be my go to analog style eq's from now onwards on every mix.
