my VST's are actually audio units, and I'm on a mac, but here's my list, which I'm happy to say is pretty complete. Feels great to have go to's sorted out.....



1. delay- Audio Damage dubstation, fabfilter timeless, uhe filterscape, soundtoys
2.Reverb- Altiverb, IK CSR (still looking for an algorithmic reverb that I really like)
3.Filter- soundtoys, korg ms20, sonalksis tbk
4.Flanger- PSP nitro
5.Chorus - PSP nitro
6.Phaser- Soundtoys
7.Gate- bundled with logic, or sonalksis
8.Chopper- ? what do you mean by chopper?
9.Vocoder/Vocal FX - eiosis vocoder, logic and melodyne
10.Granulizer - reaktor
11.Pitchshift - built in with logic
12.EQ - Clean= sonalksis character= tritone digital
13.Compressor- clean=ozone, logic character=psp vintage warmer
14.Distortion - ohmforce ohmicide, guitar rig
15.Speacial FX - Reaktor

bear in mind that I make electronic music and mix all ITB......

Thankyou!,

I also make mostly electronica

Thats great that you have it all sorted hey - I have so many freeware plugins that I think I have TO much choice and it is actually hindering the creative workflow.

Thanks again.

I use to think the better the Mic (source) preamp, conversion and the musician the less FX one likes (needs) to use.

I went through that for years to find the plugins I like. That's why I'm happy to have my go to's

I can't strongly recommend enough finding one or two of everything you need and begin to learn them well. I was amazed at how much sound I've been able to make out a relatively few plugins. Well worth taking the time to figure out.....


Oh, and to special efx, I'd have to add metasynth. Huge part of getting some of the sounds I've been after.....

First I have to say that unfotunatly I dont own all these plugins.

1.Delay : psp42 (enought for me)
2.Reverb : IR1/sonnox reverb
3.Filter : korg ms20/filterscape
4.Flanger : waves meta flanger
5.Chorus : BT analog chorus
6.Phaser : BT analog phaser
7.Gate : sonalksis or waves
8.Chopper : dont use
9.Vocoder/Vocal FX : Antares stuff, dont use much vocoder (maybe cause i have no access to a good one)
10.Granulizer : dont use
11.Pitchshift : melodyne plugin
12.EQ : sonnox/sonalksis
13.Compressor: sonnox/ waves api
14.Distortion : BT valve driver/rock amp legends/vintage keyboard fx/ tritone hydratone (yes)
15.Speacial FX : many but i like that korg mdex box

well my evry day plugins are the live built in plugins... good enought.
