Phase plant is a beast. Cheap to rent and after 12 month's renting it they give you a 100 dollar voucher. And the best bit is their entire eco system is so much more than the synth.
I managed to pick up Phase Plant for £75 and it's so good I feel bad for not paying full price. The workflow is amazing and the premium effects whilst expensive raise it to another level. Also the fact you can have presets with premium effects you don't own (which are un-editable) is a nice touch. Best value for money of all the Sound Design platforms for sure.
@@wasabi333 Dont do that. As a former plugin junkie with all the cracks and pirated software, dont take that route. ;Insteas invest on couple of plugins and learn them like hell. You will get all the updates, communities, client services etc etc. Also you will be giving back to the developer. I see that some plugins are ridicilous priced, however we all can live without some plugins :)
Logic challenges the non-stock argument. The Liner EQ doesnt cause resonant problems, the console EQ Is one of the best analog/neve EQ emulations ever, the Phat FX chain, and the different compressors actually sound pretty good and have enough filter/sidechain features to make it a swiss army plugin. The chroma verb, pedal board spring verb on any instrument, tape delay and platinum verb get the jobs done for me for space effects, and the organ, epiano, disco strings, deep tech drums, analog sub sonic bass, liverpool bass, flabba bass amp setting. and studio horn sax patches are enough to create anything you can think up. Add the crazy good apple drum loops, some decent tuning on the current version and new mastering suite all for 200$ is the best package if plugins in history
Sixth Sample Cramit is also worth trying, no linear phase but oversampling. I also like Minimal Audio Fuse which replaced the old OTT for me completely.
8:45 For that purpose Soothes sidechain function also should help. For example I use Soothe 2 for masking the beat in a vocal mix for rap, wehre the beat gets Soothe sidechained to the vocalbus so the overall processed vocals carve their way through the beat frequency wise. its really transparent and you almost dont notice the beat gets cut in some areas since the frequencies are perfeclty filled with the vocals. Just dont overdo it obviosly. But it helps a lot and a lot of clients are really surprised how "well" i can put their vocals on the beat and make it fit.. its actually a gamechanger
Stock logic gang where we at? 😅 I mostly use my logic tools but I have been gifted a few things like the Amigo sampler and have collected some free tools and romplers. Vital and surge are must grab free synths, dexed and odin2 are great as well. Sound selection for me is all 90s, all the time so what I tend to go for will be different than others! Valhalla supermassive is an awesome free reverb too
4:50 my favorite clipper is newfangled audio saturate, it’s very neutral sounding but also doesn’t get overwhelmed by bass. it’s not necessary but i think it’s a great neutral general purpose clipper
Talking about stock, Ableton has Hybrid Reverb, which is waaay better than the old one. Echo is very good, and it could be compared to the best delays on the market. Also, for multiband distortion - Roar is an awesome new stock plugin. Ableton stock collection lacks linear phase EQ, better limiter and vocal pitch correction, other than that Suite collection is really powerful and covers almost all aspects of production.
KNOCK is such a slept-on plugin. The sound clarity passed through it alone makes it a best VST plugin to have right now. The "TONE" knob is really the Tilt EQ knob; it works well for what it does.
idk im using more and more of bitwig stock stuff. i feel getting plugs is mainly ease of use and different flavours. but theres so many flavours in bitwig now so again, if i get an arturia delay or something its mainly ease of use or if i get a multifx tool, i got a couple, its kinda fast too. for synths my favorites are pigments and phaseplant, i feel getting one of the big synths like serum or these youre fine. oh yeah and getting a drum tool like triaz, xo or mabye even battalion or drumcomputer helps a lot.
KClip Zero is an awesome sounding clipper and it's free. It doesn't have the options for manipulating/shaping sounds like Knock does, but to me the clipper is top tier and most of us already have transient shapers, our favorite distortion/saturation plugins, and an EQ to still quickly and easily be able to do what knock would've done after clipping.
@@TheValueOfN yeah fs, takes too long to get stuff put together, especially the performers imo. But I do like the Node based FX section, Unison Chord Morphing, FM, AM, Fbk, etc.
100%, awhile back I got Komplete 14 during the sale, for sure worth it imo. Came with some Bx plugins, which included BxTuner (kinda a melodyne alternative), BxConsole(SSL 4000 modeled ), Oberheim Synth. Not to mention Kontakt, and all the 78 other istruments/effects + 38 preset packs that include samples. Was a fucking steal tbh. But yeah the iLok shit gets kinda annoying, especially if you use multiple computers/devices in differing areas.
Had to stop the video and chime in on the Life plugin by XLN. I did the demo and had a great time and I could feel it shifting my creation process into something a little more efficient and even a bit more dynamic. In short, I can say that I freaking miss this plug-in. I do a lot of demos and obviously I don't end up buying everything, mostly because I find a way to do it for free or there's an easy enough work around to get it done. This is probably the strongest example of a plugin that I miss and will just absolutely end up paying for before this year is up.
Hey bro, from what I undertand these two processes introduce new harmonics to the sound but achieve this in different ways in a basic sense they are similar but different
Technically, yes. They result from the same process but people tend to use the word saturation to describe more subtle harmonic content and the word distortion to describe more extreme, or sometimes unwanted, harmonic content.
Aye, I use multipass & snapheap anytime I'm resampling. Now I've built up many templates, I just load each template on a separate track and leave my sampler recording while I replay a sample through each of them one at a time. Such a brilliant set of kit
Someones already mentioned Surge Synth. Great and very capable synth that has just about everything. For Kicks theres ChowKick. Simple, great sounding, open source and free.
I love that plugin but it changes sound. Be careful. I mean right on the loading an insert, it alters the sounds ( The Magic section in the middle does that. If you turn it off, it goes back to normal )
I recommend TEOTE, Nani distortion plugin, Soothe 2, Neutron, Rift 2, Basslane PRO, Objeq delay, Dubstation 2, Neoverb, Duck for basic sidechaining, Gatekeeper for volume automation on steroids. Uhh uhh… yeah, you’ll be good with those, also try bx_clipper.
And yeah he mentioned Gulfoss but it only really shines on the master bus, TEOTE works on everything, and it’s magical on distorted content, and even content with very little harmonic content that could still be boosted a little bit.
For RX10 audio transcribing why didn't iZotope use an AI language layer that reads the sentence structure and determines whether the output is contextual?
Serato Sample gets your BPM estimate down to a HUNDREDTHs of decimal in precision. Too easy to then take that instrumental and stem sep it and then remix that beeiotch with ease and precision.
I used to be an RX fanboy but their releases have been getting worse and worse. They are clearly just trying to get people to upgrade constantly. Having said that, I no longer think they are the best all-in-one. Acon Digital's restoration suite is so good for audio repair. Also, their Acoustica Premium... so damn good
That stock plugin talk is so dependent on DAW. I'm using Renoise, no matter how often I tried switching to something more modern I just keep going back and I just gave up trying. Its stock effects are bare basics. The reverb is just bad and the equalizers are really basic. The compressors aren't to write home about either. I like the exciter, but that's about it. One of the DAWs I tried switching to is Reaper and that one is even more bare bones. Plenty of decent free and cheap stuff out there though.
@@ireadysucks3026 yeah, you can’t draw in the shape, but the waveform has tighter resolution so lining up kick and sub phase is easy…er. Also; only one instance for nagware version.
You didn't really discuss much in the way of mixing, like, not even a Pultec, no Neve/API/SSL stuff, no Distressor, no LA2A, like nothing much at all dude lol. Yo' mind is on the beat making maybe, but the mixing leaves a lot to be desired.
Windowlicker was made with means that are 100’s of times inferior than any modern daw that anyone has on their laptop nowadays. Are you sure when you say you can only make “simple music” with stock plugins? i disagree. i think people give up too easy , then buy the best and newest tools only to end up producing the same things over and over again. the results are the proof
06:30 It kind of does sound like you're endorsing piracy. I'm ok with that though, (in certain circumstances), because absolutely every music software that I used after I finally progressed from Amiga to Windows 95 was pirated. I'm almost certain that music software companies acknowledge this and use that fact to their advantage in their long game. Don't take the piss with piracy though, fellow viewers. I've spent thousands on software and hardware since I got a well-paid job so it's all cool, (in my opinion). If the teenage pauper version of myself couldn't have had access to pirated software, then this middle-aged version wouldn't have ended up investing so much of my hard-earned £s to the music software/hardware, PC and Mac world. Come to think of it, I didn't pay for OctaMED either.
kek, truth about Rx10... now they are doing the same for 11 😆😆 Ai will over take that shit if they dont keep up... 50% off for 11 is still 300, ill wait and see if it works first thanks....
Waves Clarity Vx doesn't compare with izotope noise remover, voice cleaner or de-reverb. It's actually so bad, tried it many times but never ended actually using it cause it sounds terrible really damages the audio. Don't buy this plugin
Honestly, if you want a plugin (and you have the budget) just go for it. I have made decisions based on what other people told me would be best for me. It's never the right decision not to buy the tools that inspire you, even if they're objectively not the "best". The most important thing a creative tool has to do is make you want to use it, and that's not something other people can decide for you.
@@mudi2000a Personally I dont think so... Truth is at first I sort of did.. But changing the skin to my preference, seems to make it more accommodating... But also.. Simplicity can also mean less capable... Not saying theres not better GUI's, But for free, and if your into deep dive synthesis.. It is a beast.
I have surge too when i first started w 3rd party plugins, i suggest only if u cant do anything else, i installed Nabla too, i dont like them at all, i now have ANA, Hive, Roland, Korg, Arturia plugins which are on another level
Agreed. I own pretty much all of the popular third-party synth plugins as well as several actual hardware synths. I still prefer Pigments 3 over most of the rest.
@@deathsyrup I'm obsessed with Pigments, Its part of my live rig and I run my guitar through it now, I love melting things with the PS delay and a run a slow LFO on the pitch shifting....rainbow machine man!
I totally agree with the price of Scaler 2. And it's currently on sale over on Plugin Boutique for 29USD. That software should easily be like 149 USD or MORE! A must buy for anyone looking to write music. The bonus is it will actually teach you music theory too.
@@danielcatron1979 yeah, I love it. I’ve used things like Octamed and Protracker before, so when that came it was a no brainier. Use it in both Abelton and Renoise.
Can’t forget about TDR plugins. Their EQ is similar to ProQ and it’s free. Their compressor is damn good too. I’m going to pay for their gentleman’s edition since I always use their plugins.
Do that, they are mostly on sale and I have all the GE editions except TDR NOVA ( For some reason I did not pick it up ). GE editions worth it, comes with so many additional features.
I personally hate how clean Serum sounds because it fails to blend in with pretty much every other softsynth unless you saturate or otherwise color the hell out of it. If you ever work with anything that's recorded, like real drums, serum sticks out like a sore thumb.
Dude inmho the best wavetable synth for PLAYING wavetables is Hive2. With hive2 and Vital its the best wavetable style. Hive2 is a beast and you can just use like 20 o them if you want, and go up to speeds that neither serum or vital cant handle - I think I would be lost with out Hive2

yea surge ui is 😬👎
I have surge too when i first started w 3rd party plugins, i suggest only if u cant do anything else, i installed Nabla too, i dont like them at all, i now have ANA, Hive, Roland, Korg, Arturia plugins which are on another level
Massive spender here
Arturia Pigments as a solid general synthesizer with a really good sequencer you can use with other synths as well.
I had pigments on here also originally but ended up taking it out because I felt like I was starting to put too many synths
Agreed. I own pretty much all of the popular third-party synth plugins as well as several actual hardware synths. I still prefer Pigments 3 over most of the rest.
@@WeaverbeatsPigments is THE best synth.
@@deathsyrup I'm obsessed with Pigments, Its part of my live rig and I run my guitar through it now, I love melting things with the PS delay and a run a slow LFO on the pitch shifting....rainbow machine man!
@@DeafbyDesign amazing. It really is one of the best modern designed VSTs
I totally agree with the price of Scaler 2. And it's currently on sale over on Plugin Boutique for 29USD. That software should easily be like 149 USD or MORE! A must buy for anyone looking to write music. The bonus is it will actually teach you music theory too.
Kitchhoff EQ is even more versatile than ProQ 3
Supertone CLEAR is also great for noise remova for vocals.
Amigo Sampler would totally be on my list. They just updated it too.
That thing’s amazing-solid rec!
@@danielcatron1979 yeah, I love it. I’ve used things like Octamed and Protracker before, so when that came it was a no brainier. Use it in both Abelton and Renoise.
Yeah, I use it in both Renoise and Abelton. Awesome Amiga crunch.
PotenzaDSP also has a very nifty little clipper available to. I like it!
All of those who've used OctaMED should be educated about this one.
Phase Plant rules all when it comes to synths
I bought Serum on rent to buy. Then it does not feel like it costs much.
I didn't like the video, see you in Poland Weaver
Can’t forget about TDR plugins. Their EQ is similar to ProQ and it’s free. Their compressor is damn good too. I’m going to pay for their gentleman’s edition since I always use their plugins.
Great company
Do that, they are mostly on sale and I have all the GE editions except TDR NOVA ( For some reason I did not pick it up ). GE editions worth it, comes with so many additional features.
2:48 Nah Fam, Audio Modern's Loopmix puts XLN's life one to shame. Actually, so do the sugarbytes ones. Miles ahead of this boring plugin
Sure - Serum and Vital sounds cleaner than Massive - but - because of that, Massive has its own character. Sometimes cleaner doesn't mean better.
I personally hate how clean Serum sounds because it fails to blend in with pretty much every other softsynth unless you saturate or otherwise color the hell out of it. If you ever work with anything that's recorded, like real drums, serum sticks out like a sore thumb.
Dude inmho the best wavetable synth for PLAYING wavetables is Hive2. With hive2 and Vital its the best wavetable style. Hive2 is a beast and you can just use like 20 o them if you want, and go up to speeds that neither serum or vital cant handle - I think I would be lost with out Hive2
DSEQ3 by TBProAudio is a good Soothe2 alternative that's more affordable and doesn't really give up on features!
