Your top 3 VSTs
Posted on: 15.05.2011 by Brook Denier
tried searching "vst" on here and nothing came up. trying to narrow my choices to three and master them instead of just trying out hundreds. looking to produce prog house and electro house--porter robinson/mat zo sound. thanks!

I agree with you to a certain degree, but it's also nice to be able to edit certain MIDI patterns back and forth, rather than dealing with the audio loops.

It's not impossible, it's just a lot easier in my experience with it. Call me lazy, but sometimes it's nice to be able to edit the patterns on the fly rather than cutting it up again.

Operator is awesome but easy to overlook if you are new to Ableton

Live and Logic. never really dabbled into Analog, or any of the instruments for that matter (ignorance I guess). But I've watched a few youtube vids where a guy will reproduce say a Skrillex song ALMOST spot on with just Operator. crazy stuff.

I really like Albino 3, and I've been playing around more with Absynth. I need to get my act together and go buy Massive, I've only heard amazing things.

Right now I'm going through the process of getting my head around my workflow, and trying to get my drums just right, so playing around with VST isn't coming second to that lol.

Not strictly a VST, but I'd say just buy Reason instead of a bundle of different VST's of varying quality (apart from Massive, which is an astounding synth for the money).

The only things I tend to use is Ableton Suite 8 as the host, Reason rewired into it and Massive for any additional synth sounds. Reason lets you build racks and synth to produce almost ANY sound you want, has a ton of very high quality effects and mastering tools and has Kong drum sampler giving you amazing drum sounds.

Them 3 in combo give you absolutely midblowing sounds! If you're using another host, you can stil rewire Reason into it as a slave and use Massive as a VST.

I didn't realise its potential till I watched the Sander van doorn studio sessions on YouTube
It's so simple,yet effective

I don't believe the search works for 3 letter words like VST or VCI

Seems the search function is broken on your side. Hint: sometime adding a wildcard (*) in the search bar may help... e.g. VST*

Rob Papen's Sub Boom Bass and Predator are amazingly versatile synths that get the job done, and I'm also a fan of the Kore 2 player from NI and the free Minimogue VST that's out there.
