As always, I got the username wrong…
I used to love Calf, but plugin version seems be have its GUI broken on some plugins for quite some time and it seems to be rather hard to fix judging from what I read online. LSP is more feature completely for most usecases anyway.
Also I read sometime ago that calf has some serious phasing problems? Sounds good to me but I’m not an expert.
Some calf plugins I haven’t been able to replace yet, like the stereo tools, and the psychoacoustic clipper.

Add a lot of zeros to that.
Most companies spend a lot more on advertisement than developing their product.
Anime is very poorly mixed, a phone vibrates as loud as an explosion, there’s no dynamics. That’s not how real sound is supposed do work.
I agree that some shows like modern Star Trek exaggerate and while I can’t hear Michael murmuring the Spore Drive almost blows my woofers away every time Discovery jumps.
However needs needs to have dynamics so the viewer can have an emercive experience.
They should release dual audio, high dynamic range for ppl with good systems and low dynamics for ppl listening on computer speakers, but if that’s not the case I can always put a compressor on an HDR master, but can’t recover lost information on stuff like anime where a phone vibrates as loud as an explosion.
Just an anecdote, but every time I try to create an account on Instagram I get automatically banned after account creation before even login-in for the first time.
If I recal they then ask me for a copy of my ID to confirm my name is real (which it isn’t).
I have no idea how they know, I’ve tried literally with different residential IPs, different emails and even on brand new devices. On my Instagram user friend’s house.
Maybe it’s just bad good luck, who knows. In don’t need Instagram anyway, just an interesting fact.

It can be pseudoanonymous if you use it that way. If you login to it via tor for example and only use it to communicate to people who aren’t related to your IRL identity.
Besides cash and mail is still much easier to track than Monero
Analogue simulation: Surge FX’s tape Calf Vinyl
Compressors, gates and equalisers: Anything by LSP
Limiter: x42 seems to be a clean and save limiter LSP seems to be more tunable and a bit dirtier and potentially louder.
Saturation and distortion: Several good options on surge fx
Guitar sim: Guitarix.vst (also includes a Neural Amp Sim host)
Synths: Surge Zynaddsubfx Odin2
Sampler: Liquidsfz DrumGizmo (very resource intensive)
There’s ofc tons of stuff I haven’t tried, but these work very well for me
