I think that Convolution Reverb in FLS is really good, tweakable, and if you learn the mysteries of its ways and have a few good impulse responses, could create a 3D world for your listeners to habitate and live a wonderful life of sonic bliss, with you of course the Godhead of their ecstatic aural ecstacy.

 

I will not share my favorite 10 vst-s, because I know the secret!

 

"The Best" is subjective. I've got my top 10 list. n0xin above has a different list.

 

Camelspace
Discord3
Falcon
Pro-Q 2
BC Patchwork
Echobode
Aether
Morph 2
Etch
Phi

 

thanks!

 

I would have suggested Kontakt but then that'd be cheating as its possibilities are all 10 and some.

 

Ok, I'll give you some more work to do. Here's what I find better for me.

1. SPC Plugins Arcsyn [ No good video on youtube. But you can try it. It's very underrated. Maybe because of bad interface.]

2. Reveal Sound Spire

3. Xfer Serum

4. TAL Sampler

5. Kontakt [Obvious choice]

6. Kazrog Kclip

7. Pro c 2

8. Kotelnikov

9. The glue

10. Valhalla Ubermod

11. UVI Relayer

12. OhmForce Ohmicide

13. Pro-Q 2/Equilibrium

14. Slate VTM

15. Limitless

16. Xfer Cthulhu

17. Melda MmultiAnalyzer

18. Dmitry Sches Tantra

19. Valhalla Room [Doctor P likes it]

20. Stereo Savage

You can remove what you like from the list, this will give you some more plugins to try.

 

I take lengthy notes on here and during my tutorial sessions.. I have 12 pages off audioz and 60 pages of studying online.

 

Not attacking anyone bro, I believe that you are trying to improve yourself, just saying that your focus should be another, and I'm really sure that if you open a "professional" project you will find it simple when it comes for FXs and chains, most of the channels just gonna have a eq or/and a compressor, but since the subject of this post is another...
Here's a list of some vsts that I like to use, maybe it can be usefull for your needs in this post:

Pro-Q 2 - for any eq tasks
Fabfilter Saturn - for saturation
Waves PuigChild - for additive equalization
Waves CLA 2A - for vocal compression
Waves R-Comp - for general compression (sometimes 2A or 3A from waves for general compression too)
Audio Damage Fuzz Plus 3 - for distortion (really nice one and free)
Native Instruments RC 24 - for Reverb
Waves s1 - Stereo Spreader (most of the time I use it to narrow the stereo image to be honest cause i found the stereo expander from FL can't make the things completely mono)
Waves Ps22 - to spread out pads and sustained strings
The Glue - for subtle group compression
Ozone 7 - for mastering
AOM Invisible Limiter - Final limiting

Hope it helps you, but the point is, most of my projects doesn't have even a half of these plugins on, you just need to use what you need to use... Good luck mate!

 

Thanks i'm adding this to my notes. Yeah most of the people on here are told what music is good and they just blindly agree with it. Like the guy that makes NES music above me.

A great plugin that I use is D82 Sonic Maximizer. Sounds great.

 

Fabfilter Pro Q2. The way you can solo parts and see what's being cut out on the fly is incredibly helpful. The M/S function added too makes it such a versatile EQ.

FL Parametric 2 EQ is my go to EQ, always has been. But of course i'll use other EQs depending on the sound i want.

Valhalla Room, Shimmer, Vintage Verb and UberMod are some of my favourites too. Simple to use, and great output.

One of my favourites though.... Xfer OTT. This on a drum bus or single channels can boost energy incredibly. (oh and it's fudging free!)

Glitch 2 is a good plugin that can be used to add a whole new creative dimension to your sound, and can be used for mixing purposes if you go into it.

Cableguys Panshaper and Volumeshaper are new to me but i've fallen for them and use them a lot. There is a lot of creative and mixing options that can be harnessed through these versatile plugins.

Decimort 2 ... I use this a lot on pianos, but this is a bit shaper/crusher with another level of depth. Love it.

Also Waves L2... I've abused this to the point i don't even know what it does anymore... *sigh*
