Stalker Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 There is so much free software out there at the minute I don't think there is any excuse for using warez.

Shaft Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I don't think there is any excuse for using warez. 400945[/snapback] There never should have been. -Plogue Bidule http://www.digitalfishphones.com/main.php?item=2&subItem=1[/url] 400945[/snapback] Heard of this, but avoided as it was PC only at one point. Might check it out now, as it's compatible with OSX!! -Buzz 400945[/snapback] Got it. -Kristal Audio Engine 16 track audio sequencer and recorder with VST effect and ASIO support. http://www.kreatives.org/kristal/index.php Modular VST Synth/Effect Creator -SynthEdit Make your own VST effects and instrument which can be used in any VST compatible sequencer. http://www.synthedit.com/ Synths -Crystal Fantastic for pads.

Philter Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 nice thread stalker! some basic effects like delay, gate, reverb etc are the blue line effects, they are very old now but are extremly cpu friendly. ive been using them for a few years now. find them here: http://www.sonicspot.com/daplugins.html another favorite the virtual-analogue drumsynthesize by e-phonic called drumatic, ive been using version 2 for some time now, quite good for kiks. find it here: http://www.e-phonic.com/ two more links with freeware stuff: http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~thman/VST/vst-allinstr.htm http://www.xoxos.net/vsti.html#synthesizers i also found this link which stalker recomended to me some time ago very usefull: http://www.kvraudio.com/ratings/9.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phobium Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Wonderful thread! Thanks. I am already using a few of these vsts, I'll check out some of the others as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbierabbit Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I'm surprised nobody mentioned Tuareg. Granted, it's just a rather amateur sample sequencer cum synth, but I've never been able to get Reason to sound as outright fat as that baby. (In case you're wondering, I actually bought the fat version after a while. And only gave it up after discovering Reaktor.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
