Which free VST plugins don't suck for you???

[maplefoxx]

OBxd preset Round bass, in filter area of plugin turn the 3 knobs, cutoff, resonance, and Env Amt between 9 and 12 o'clock and it is a perfect synthwave bass, one of the best actually.

[RussiBeats]

It still blows my mind that Vital has a free version. Such a great synth!

[russelledwards]

Just an FYI, Surge is actually older than Massive and was once a commercial competitor. If anything Massive was inspired by Surge which was at least a year earlier. NI was notorious for ripping off other companies back in the day and got sued by Spectrasonics for straight up including their patches in a sample library.

Good list though. You always keep it 100. I think MPC Beats should have an honorable mention

Ave got skin in the free plugin game🔥 bringing you all the root chakra 🦃💨 spicy as hell😂😂😂😂

The Fury 800 is a clone of the Korg Poly 800. That was my first MIDI keyboard. It came out in 1983.

Fun Fact about the main coder behind Surge, he is now the developer of Phase 4 (based on Casio’s old phase distortion synths {the CZ series}) in Bitwig. And the latest version of Surge now has Odin 2’s filters.

picked up the legion i5 a couple of months ago. Random surprise grab. Been ecstatic ever since.

[forsale]

Yup, you are the one person that I can depend on for the TRUTH about ish. Those who don't em' and feed em' nuthin' but the truth! And thanks for the Fury 800 mention, it's one I don't have. I'll check it out.

Odin II has a great sound to it. Been using it more and more. Warmer than a lot of free stuff.

[legacy]

Can you do a video on how to get animation art for our music projects...thanks.

[SCMESD]

Always stirring the pot Very cool. I will definitely try those.

[umanoid]

I have all of these since Im a free vst download fiend. I rarely use any of them. Ive played around with them and used vital in a few tracks(Really love vital btw) but Over the past few years I’ve bought way too many sale bundles and have a lot of solid choices when it comes to producing now. Good list though for freebies.

[locutz]

forever stepping on them folks toes my guy Ave lmao

As far as free synths and even romplers, you can pretty much get a professional sound and pretty great emulations of vintage hardware (for the price, it's not Arturia ofc). OB-Xd, SQ8L, PG-8X, Fury800, Tricent (also from Full Bucket, it has an issue with the default sound output but other than that, it's great), Dexed, Surged, Vital, Synth1, redtron, VK-1, Pendulate, Podolski, Zebralette, Beatzille, Triple Cheese, Arminator, GR-8, Synthmaster Player, Iota Mini... You can still get Labs and BBC Symphony Orchestra from Spitfire, Kontakt Player, Sampletank CS from IK Multimedia, Sine Player and their libraries, Halion SE from Steinberg, Sample Science has great free romplers for some specific instruments, you can also get some free Computer Music magazine editions and get their whole catalog of free versions of renowned vsts and effects.

The options are nearly infinite rn, it's a great time to create music.

[yenthesage]

Dope vid. I'll have to look into some of those. Also, if I remember correctly, you're into DNB right? Have you looked into the Rhythm Source expansion from NI? If so, I would like to know your thoughts on it.

[paloution]

I got all of them but the Fury 800. I check it out

[DGITAL_OG]

Yooo what's good with them classes AVE?? I'm anxious to start really rockin'

[TheTonyTitan]

Surprised you ain't wait till Friday bro

[Thisninjascared]

What is your main daw of choice? I’ve seen you use a few different ones
