Your top 3 favorite plugins?

[-[2]DAY_-]

Altiverb is my #1 i think. but i don't have it, so i get to pick 3 more:

Reason
UAD Neve 1073
UAD Fairchild

....predator.


hard question

[nowaysj]

Honestly can't answer this.

Probably flstudio's FPC. Does get used constantly.

As far as more transitory stuff, right now my favorite plugin is the Korg monotrone clone. If you just want crazy candy envelope/lfo sweeps, it is the bizzomble.

blue cats freqanalyst
valhallafreqechomkI
nebula3free

all free plugins.

there is so much shit out there nowadays.... I could go on & on.
so i'll just chuck the free 1s up

!!chea

[nowaysj]

Dude, valhalla freq echo is tha SHIZNITZ! Does he have a demo for the paid reverb? I should check that out. That echo can really just murk up a sample.

[AllNightDayDream]

Thor, NN-XT, Scream 4

if you don't think they're plugins...

i don't curr!

[bmills]

narrowing it to 3....

1. massive
2. ohmicide
3. ableton's amp :0 or Glitch

this list changes so frequently it's just what i recently have been using

[erratech]

These are my favourites I reckon, they are the ones I use the most anyway.

Arcdev et-200/et-301 delays - great! dub delays
Kelly Industries StereoTools - make things mono or narrow them(each side individually), flip stereo and suchlike. Very handy.
SmartElectronix SupaPhaser - really nice phaser with distortion and envelope

[DJ Crackle]

malstrom, thor, kong

hahahah
i miss thor.



i'm gonna have to say massive, 'cause it's the only synth I use that I'm worth anything with (haven't even opened anything else for a bit), Ozone, and... maybe voxengo span?
I'm pretty standard -_-

- Geist
- Ace

^ you ever try guru? Whats the dif between guru and Geist?

[djdeadb3ats]

Has anyone one been able to use Alchemy for them dirty sounds < icant seem to get much with out using any distortion plugins

[buttock]

^ you ever try guru? Whats the dif between guru and Geist?

Yeah, I bought Guru when the price dropped, and couldn't resist the upgrade. And it's worth it. Geist has a way better filebrowser which makes it way more fun to use it. There are more targets for the step modulation. The slicing algo works more precise. One of the most outsanding features is the sampler, where you can route any channel of you daw to or resample Geists output. The Efx are unbelievable: Breverb's Reverb algo, Filters and compressors are from synthsquad.
The switching between different step resolutions is now possible in one pattern, so you can quantize some of your instruments to 16th and others to triads.
And some mo'
And I almost forgot the song mode, where you can arrange your patterns in fl styled playlist, so you could actually produce a whole track with Geist in stand alone.

[nowaysj]

Nice, nice. If I was in any other daw than fl studio or live, I'd would be up Geist's butt. Feel like Fl is a flushed out Geist.

And still, if I did have extra software cash to burn... I might be burning it on geist.

[buttock]

that's right. Ther workflow for quickly laying down some beats is pretty similar in fl and geist. But if you would demo Geist you would probably want to have it, I promise. It has that little extras which make beatmaking more precise, fast,versatile and fun. So stay away from the fxpansion Homepage

[nowaysj]

A better suggestion has never been given! Thank You!

[legend4ry]

Geist looks prefect..Spesh for people like me who use a tonne of samples.. Its pretty much all I need haahaha!

[nowaysj]

But then think about Maschine, which is very similar (from my limited knowledge) but is 1000% controllable by hardware. DROOOOOOL

[buttock]

ohhhh yeah!

[Karoshi]

Hmm, for me it will be the 3 most used i suppose, but i prefer other things lol

Massive - Because it takes literally minutes to get a ball park sound that you want

Slicex - Fucking awesome! works with any sample for some chopped up goodness. Closely followed by edison

Camelphat - Go to effects thingy. might not mangle the sound as much as other effect plugins, but i use it for automating all kinds of noises.

Like i say, theres other programs i prefer but these are just so damn easy to use. Theres curve, gladiator, ohmicide, 3XOsc(!), and a bunch of others that still get heavy usage.

[JBE]

Schope - Frequency Analyser

Oligarc - Filter, phaser, distortion unit, chorus all in one plugin.

Fruity Beepmap - This one is more recent. If no one knows what this is, it essentially creates sound from images. It's pretty crazy the types of sounds that this thing can create. I wish it didn't take me this long to realize how fun this thing is. I'm just now starting to gain a little bit of understanding on how this thing generates sound, and It's starting to turn microsoft paint into it's own synthesizer.
