VST Shopping Posted on: 05.05.2010 by Gregory Finely Next couple of months I intend picking up a few vst's for Ableton, looking for a good all in one synth EG Albino 3 and also going to be picking up a minomoog already set my mine on the GForce Minimonsta, so is there anything else people could recommend which they believe is pretty decent, mainly working on Deep and Tech house for now ;-)
Gregory Finely 24.05.2010	Originally Posted by tpsowden urs is good.. u-he, spectrasonics trillian, overloud th1, anything ssl, their xverb is pretty good, stillwell, oxford (love using their dymanic channel (so easy), fabfilter, native instruments stuff is top notch! absynth is out of this world if you know how to use it (well thats pretty mcuh with anything) and if your rich.. certain waves packages are goooood! though, i would recommend just buying a good qulaity cheapie and practice all the basics on that (with synths) and use the on board process effects on your DAW to start with to get the feel... if you got logic, youve got osme of the best processes you could use! ableton is good as well! got Ableton 8 and the only thing I have purchased is Minimosta as it was cheap! and a keyboard to mess around with, so far having lots of fun just pissing around, plus a few tips from producer friends on building drum patterns.
Ashirumatic DJ 18.05.2010	Originally Posted by Ciar2001 Cheers Jason will check that out toevening can't see Youtube in work No prob, a few of the Top ten have already been mentioned in here (ie Massive, Albino) Massive really is one you should get into. Once you get a hang of it the sounds you can produce are beyond amazing. FM8 is another one I like as well.
Gregory Finely 18.05.2010	Originally Posted by Ess i just got my hands on Dcam Synth Squad , they are great everything you could need , you need a pretty fast OS to run them on tho me and my mate are running them on 3ghz 8 core mac with 10 gig ram so obv that is not an issue however on my macbook 2.5 duel core with 4 gig ram it can strugle at times but still workable if i freeze the track (on logic) besides that try looking at "ARTURIA V COLLECTION" or "ARTURIA Analog Factory" which is a nice cheaper little package which comes with its own midi controler some of sounds on it are great others are hit and miss to be honest but still a great buy I am running this all on a year old macbook pro so hopefully it holds up, eventually going to move to a straight up imac will check those out.
Gregory Finely 07.05.2010	Originally Posted by BentoSan Massive == win, been using it in every project i do for the last few years now - sick synth Albino is pretty sweet too. Though really i would say dont go out and buy a ton of synths at once, pick one, buy it, learn it inside out then when your ready to move on grab another. Cant go wrong with starting with Massive though that's how I am believeing as i doing the teach yourself when I have time method along with a few videos friends have made me and general youtube, so buying anything apart from what I have currently is going to be seriously looked into first, I will most definitely be getting a moog vst as i love that sound for deep house, as for synth going to mess around with all of them.. cheers for the replies gents very helpful
Gregory Finely 07.05.2010	Originally Posted by sj03w4t I've tried Nexus, and even though it's really cool, I believe it's too easy (if that sounds logical..?) I mean the sounds are so awesome even if they are untuned. Today, I discovered a 'string' VST (free!) called 'DSK Strings', can be downloaded HERE. Sorry if you were not looking for free VSTs but I guess some money saving can't hurt, right? Free is always nice as long as i can use it on the mac will check out the nexus as well, I am currently on a test first buy later only after trying it out for a few weeks as it's not cheap buying these things lol.
Giselle Kawalec 25.05.2010	thats good man.. keep it up! i believe ableton and reason really helop beginners understnad routing and the basics of production! haha i hardly have any synth plug ins.. most of my plug ins are all processes haha
Da Sunlounge 24.05.2010	after you've picked up all your synths... i recommend PSP Vintage Warmer 2... it sounds niiiiiiiiiiiiiice when applied to really hard digital synths...

Toni Hinga 19.05.2010	VSTi - Kontakt! Closest to analog sound you will get. Pick your libraries wisely... VST - Nebula - by far the best for eq, tube pres, and tape but a little buggy for live use but for production....forgetaboutit! Sony Oxfords - Limiter and Inflator rock Stillwell - Everything Ohm - everything Maybe ive said too much...lol

Gregory Finely 18.05.2010	Minimonsta is top of my list of toys to buy, my partner in music used it recently on a new track we are working on, sounds brilliant some of the preset bass sounds are fking brilliant
Belen Wermes 16.05.2010	ya all the rob papen, camel audio, uberschall and native instruments stuff

Riccardo gava 13.05.2010	this... Alchemy Absolute beast I tell you!
Marybeth Escandon 12.05.2010	I recommend looking into: Sylenth - All around stellar synth Waldorf Largo - Great VST if you don't want to buy a proper virtual analog synth In my opinion, the most important thing above all is to learn each VST inside and out before you learn another. It might seem tedious, but you'll waste a hell of a lot of time fumbling around if you don't dedicate the time to learn. PS: MiniMonsta rocks!
