Its the,bear necessities, the simple bear necessities...

Do you ever feel like you have more VSTs than you actually need?

Have you considered doing any spring cleaning in your plug-ins folder?

If so,

What could you not live without?

Amplitube 3
Overloud TH1
Izotope Ozone
Addictive Drums


HMMM cant think of anymore necessities.





Post Your List!!!

Ive actually been thinking about cleaning out that Really long amp sim list I posted up and leaving just the ones I think are really necessary.

Anyways, here's mine:

Superior Drummer (Metal Foundry)
Reaper
Amplitube 3
Waves EQ plugins

+1 on Reaper even though its not a vst.

but yeah,it is the cornerstone of my AE life

dudes... i have some GB of VST in my external drive and most of them are never used.

i always think that i am gonna check them out but... damn... i need to create a schedule and test them haha

what are the ones you cannot live without?

I guess i could not live without:

- My old Cubase SX3
- Waves plugins (REQ, SSL and API)
- SIR and SIR2
- Gclip (on snare)

I'm kind of "open-minded" about Drum VSTi's, so I feel comfortable using EZdrummer, Superior, AD or whatever.

what do you use most from waves?

@ Sender

I have the mercury bundle along with other waves bits and pieces i've picked up over the years.

I love the renaissance comp, EQ, reveb, de-esser etc. Very clean and effective IMOP. I also love the SSL range.

I also always use the linear phase, EQ and also L2 for mastering. I'm still trying to improve mastering and these plugins sound great!!!!

Are you a regular Waves user??

i love waves series. The Renaissance series are one my favourites!! The APIs are also great
yes i am a regular user the C4 multiband compressor is a nice one too.

but for mastering i use mostly Izotope Ozone. just because i got used to it, but i 'll try waves more

C4 is awesome!! I generally use the Andy Sneap trick on guitars to control the low mids!! Good for vocals also.

I have Ozone 3 and the exciter is as good as any IMOP. Just not enough play in the EQ for my liking.

Well, i CAN NOT live without the following ones, thats for sure

-Waves Mercury Bundle

-112dB Redline Monitor (my secret weapon for "centered also hard-panned" guitar sound

-BBE D82 Maximizer (its absolutely "superb" on any instrument and vocals)

-Nuendo 4.3 as one and only DAW (i like it more than Cubase, its more stable)

-POD Farm 2(i got 3 model packs, sounds awesome indeed..Yet i'd like to afford to buy Revalver MKIII, as its the BEST guitar vst in the whole world imho, but at the second place, it is POD Farm, i love it)

-S.Drummer/M.Foundry/DFH (its way more better than other drum vsti's, i've tried them all excluding S.Slate, yet S.D is still da best!)

Ah yeah... Revalver...
