What's required?
Do not worry if you don't own exactly the same plugins that are used in this course as they can be swapped out with anything you have that is similar, regardless of whether it's stock, free or 3rd party.
At the end of the day EQ is still EQ, and compression is still compression. In this series we are learning techniques rather than about the plugins themselves.
