That indispensable plugin that has many good presets in different categories (bass, keys, lead, pad, ...) that you use to set the foundations of any new project you're working on.

It might not be so popular, but I've been using the Korg Triton plugin lately as a starting point. It helps me come with some good ideas while not demanding a lot from my pc resources.

 

Instruments?
ADD2, AME, Heavier7Strings, Modo Bass.

But I'm not using presets to get better at crafting sounds.

 

ADD2, AME -> are these abbreviations? Can't find anything with those names.
thanks!

 

i think its Addictice Drums 2 and Ample Metal Eclipse

 

Sorry, I have a severe lazy-bugger-syndrome.

 

Also a big fan of MODO Bass, version 2 made me a believer.

ReaSample is apparently my most used instrument .. but that's only because I use it for snare & kick samples .

Other than that: Kontakt (Hammersmith Piano, Isolation Piano, Shreddage 3 Hydra, DrumMic'a), Vital, Surge XT, RealLPC, Soundpaint (1928 Steinway)

 

Thanks for the laugh

 

Great! I know a few and will check on the rest.

 

Ezbass, Stylus, SD3, RealLPC and Rick, Arturia synths

 

Fab Filter Pro Q3- hands down the best sounding EQ ever and it does so much more!

.... I will see myself out now, I don't have enough caffeine in me for decent meta level trolling. scaler2 is the largest constant for me, on my default template. I

 

Serum, Spire, Omnisphere mostly for Drum & Bass and other electronic stuff
I like Modo Bass & Addictive Drums or EZ Drummer, maybe Addictive Keys or whatever Piano plugin sounds best for the track for rock etc

 

spire, omnishpere and u-he hive

 

the other u-he synths are good too worth checking https://www.aiynzahev-sounds.com/collections if you are in trance and pick the one(s) which you like, Dune is also good for ex.

 

Depending on the project, my usual go-to's are Synapse Audio Dune 3 and Slate+Ash Landforms (Kontakt).

 

Falcon2 and Kick2.

 

Superior Drummer and Fabfilter ProQ3 , I could make music with that alone.

 

Omnisphere, Addictive drums and kontakt.

 

Electric Bass: Scarbee Rickenbacker Bass

Drums: I mainly chop breaks but I love ADD2

Synths: A LOT, mainly Arturia stuff, Phase Plant and recently Oberheim SEM

 

I do mostly electronic music, and the closest thing I have to a go to VSTi would be Serum.
