I don't have any bundle suggestions, but for compression I really like U-He Presswerk. Not 1:1 simulation of any specific piece of hardware, but flexible and still feels quite intuitive. Comes with a good selection of presets, and has alternative views/skins aimed at different uses. Should cover quite a bit of ground by itself, and has a fully functional demo available. Though as a Linux user I'm probably easily impressed just by having access to some decent plugins.

I really rate izotope ozone, really nice vintage eq, compressor , limiter and tape emulation (although the tape doesn't have flutter etc, it's quite subtle but really nice for mastering). The other modules in there are really great as well and I think you can demo it unrestricted for 10 days.

So the moody Waves complete bundle i've had since 2012 (?) has finally followed my 16 bit Softube stuff and been borked by the last OS update.
Been looking at buying different bundles to buy but not sure I really need most of what's in them. Think i'd rather cherry pick a few quality bits and buy them as standalone vst's.
What I need is:
I used to use SSL channel strips a fair bit too so have been looking at them as you get some nice eq and compression options on one handy place.
Nice to haves would be a tape emulation (used to use the Kramer one for mastering and for fun echo-effects). Would also like some utility things like X-noise, X-hum etc, which were great for cleaning up imported i-phone memos and stuff like that.
Any ideas for a bundle that covers that lot and not much else?
