I mostly use virtual instrument plugins I wrote myself (Omnisphere, Trilian, Stylus RMX, Crystal). I'm paranoid about being able to fix any problems in plugins by myself
 . But I also use some other effects plugins: Izotope Ozone for mastering, Molot on occasion for compression, and Ohmboyz for wacky delay effects. Otherwise I use built-in effects in Cubase for EQ, gating, filters, reverb, etc.

Good collection
that would cover most of it. For AMPS and such on the Guitar Side i'd say OVERLOUD TH2/TH3 or Guitar Rig, or S-GEAR . whatever version you can get your hands on. I've got presets in my personal board for OVERLOUD and GUITAR RIG and S-GEAR. OZONE is a great plugin as it's many things in one package. The advanced version will allow you to use just one component out of the entire suit of fx. If you use ozone on say 10 channels, so 10 instances of full ozone, it will tax your cpu so you better have some serious hardware, e.g. quad processor i7 and at least 16 GB of ram and hopefullly an SSD main hard drive. The more plugins, VST stuff you use, the more your computer hardware comes in to play. You can get around it by burning the fx on to a given track, but running them all live is possible, just needs adequate hardware. I have a macbook pro running a quad i7 with 16gb of ram and an SSD main drive. So I'm able to run wads of plugins without issues. For folks with a weaker rig, using something like the external processor like those from UNIVERSAL AUDIO. The first gen of which are now much cheaper since there is a new version out. The old version is about half price now. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audio/u...-uad-processing This allows external processing of audio plugins that are built just for this unit. They sound great. It's a good option if you are running a weaker computer, you can just off load the processing. If you are running a quad or dual quad processor rig, then you can go native and just use plugins that tax the cpu.

QUOTE (Darius Wave @ Feb 25 2017, 10:24 AM) Steven Slate VST drums - plug-in with a quality of Superior drummer but way cheaper so many home studio owners can actually purchase it instead of stealing the more expensive one. I'm not sure I would consider Steven Slate drums to be a competitor to Superior. Slate is more pre-processed. Superior is more flexible and more like mixing real drums. EZDrummer is probably a more direct comparison to Steven Slate drums than Superior, and the price of Slate and EZDrummer are comparable. -------------------- Cyber-industrial music and video animations:

That was my first impression as well, but I was working on both and SSD can also be set up to a really raw tone, just like mixing regular drums

Yes, you can get raw sounds from Slate using the classic kits. I was just saying there are a number of features in Superior, like built-in effects, that mean it doesn't need to resort to workarounds like separate raw kits (and Superior has more kit pieces, more detailed samples, a more sophisticated mixer, a better streaming engine, etc.). In any case, I agree with you, for the price, Slate drums are great. I would just humbly disagree with your comment that it's the same quality as Superior.

OK, so this isn't so much a list of regularly used VST's but it is a list of a lot of VST's which are free!!!
You can see it HERE There is also a great list of free stuff in this old thread!
