[An Expresso]

I use reason the most but I also have FL and Cubase I wanna start using those a little more for the vsts so can you guys tell me which are the top ones i should get and which ones you like? especially sample based vsts, like badass effects and stuff and any other info you have is much appreciated.

The problem with downloading software is it will never be enough, and you will never learn it.

[tavravlavish]

hah especially when you have three daws

just use the synths in those.....

I could fuck with thor for a long time and now get bored.

If you are going to go down this dark road of thievery, think about this suggestion: Steal only what you can later afford. If producing music becomes your thing as it does for so many, you will need legit shit, no point in learning a bunch of shit that you won't be able to afford.

Steal what you will later be able to afford.

alright i'll check those out and wont give up reason cuz its my baby but are there any vsts for liquid type synths and old skool stabs and stuff like that?

[komanderkin]

any half decent virtual analog style synth can be used to make such sounds.

either get into synthesis, or into sampling, or buy some sample cds. and use google.

[deadly_habit]

what is budget and what do you want most
there are loads of freebies listed on here and kvr but far as synths if ya have 100$ you can be gold
fuck t racks is cheap as fuck this week as well as all blue tube shit on audiomidi.com

@komanderkin where should i start if i wanted to get into synthesis?

@deadly habit i have about $200 to spend right now but i think i'm gonna stay with reason and just learn how to use the combinator more so if anyone has any info on that please share.

If you want to get into synths you got 3 with Reason, start with the subtractor, once you can program that you can program any synth. Using combi's will yield better results when you can use a synth and understand how to hook up effects and route cables and such.

this.

with your 3 DAWs
i would dicth reason, save cubase for later and, just stick with fl studio for now because ,it is easy to use but very powerful when you spend a lot of time with it. don't bother with vsts atm its just going to confuss things. also don't excpect results straight away, you got to learn to walk before you can run.

Remember your production will improve with time, not with software.

[nowaysj]

If you wanna mess around with a vst in your other hosts, try synth 1. Everyone starts on that thing.

[Sharmaji]

buy reason. used, even.

otherwise,

#1. DON'T BE A DUMBASS

rule #1 can manifest itself in many, many ways. The most common one is DON'T BREAK THE LAW IN PLAIN DAYLIGHT. IE, don't ask/post about cracked software or warez on a public forum, and don't share copyrighted material (most commonly, samples)
