Maybe an old pick but the TDR Kotelnikov. Great sound and easy to use, but it can be memory intensive if you're running multiple instances of it at once.
Analog Obsession Comper and Waves CLA 1176
For what it essentially entails, Analog Obsession's busterSE does quite a bangin' job at being a analog-style stereo compressor, with the ability to tilt whatever part of the frequency spectrum you wanna have spread out, in spite of its limitations on the surface. Kicks, snares, pads, even the entire mix, you name it.
Of second, yet equal, mention, is ChowDSP's Chow Tape Model. which I've found so far to be both versatile and not that CPU-hungry. not only at those tape-esque warm flavors, but also at aiding modern, multigenre music compositions. I use them both, or either one of them, depending on the situation, and both are forever free high-quality.
FabFilter Pro-C 2 is my go-to.
I use a Waves compressor, but it's been a while and I couldn't tell you which one at the moment. Also FabFilter Pro-C2. Also Universal Audio.
Wrong thread, my bad

Good to know: As a general word of caution, avoid posting complete compositions, mixes and tracks on the internet before backing them up on a remote and reputable server. Even small snippets or watermarked tracks should be posted AFTER backing it up to cloud. Timestamps from cloud services will help you in case of theft. And, as a public resource, lemmy is not a safe place to post your unpublished work, so please make sure your work is protected.
