[@LambertDriveStudios]

Never apologize for missing a week !! Life is short and you take care of yourself first and foremost always

[@DJxSANBORN]

Facts, underrated comment

[@willc6887]

Excellent video. Please do one for VST instruments.

[@MakePopMusic]

will do!

[@aadarshmusic]

Vst instruments is a much needed.

[@Ohitsdee250]

I second this

[@nicolasdieuvel6796]

This is a need! Synths, keys, DRUMS, bass (other than trilllian)

[@jenstornell]

Yes, instruments.

[@mojophonic]

Best video of its kind ever. At no point did I think you were giving anything but your honest opinion, backed by actual experience. Bravo. And yes, I would love to see another

[@CaseMacklin]

Little Alter Boy is goated BUT it really sounds best on Mono vocal tracks. In stereo or dual mono, you’ll get weird artifacts. Keep it in mono and you’re golden

[@johnathankaner4365]

Worth the artifacts….fully goated

[@afterlilac]

Could you technically, do a mono vocal track with it on, render that out and then pan it?

[@yahymusic]

manipulator can easily top that

[@JoeyFTL]

I'm going to Alterboy specifically for the artifacts. To me it's kinda dirty in mono too and I love it. For artifact-free pitching (say on vocals) my choice is Waves Soundshifter. Old algo, but somehow also the cleanest in my experience.

[@JoeyFTL]

​@@afterlilacyou could put a stereo chorus or a harmonizer after it

[@duuhyuh7146]

My production skills have gotten so much better since I’ve discovered your channel. Forever so grateful for you and your channel!

[@ellisayofficial]

Your dedication to your audience, fans, and customers is second to none! You and Miranda are always killin it. Love this vid bro

[@djontheweather]

Glad to have you back, but also it’s super important you take time for you and your family! Wish yall the best

[@TheGreatAngler]

I love how real you are when youre talking about business. Massive respect to you!

[@ignite137]

I absolutely love The Sound Table podcast with you and Miranda! The deep insights you both share about the life of a producer are truly inspiring and informative.

[@RyanSoanesMusic]

This channel is the most underrated production channel on KZbin imo! Nice tier list also, some amazing plug ins!

[@franchazel]

I’m glad to have you back! My friends have noticed a marked improvement in the quality of my tracks since I started watching your videos and y’all make my day every time I see a new one posted! Definitely gonna take this opportunity to check out a few plugins I might not have seen before :)

[@MakePopMusic]

That means so much to me. Thank you for taking the time to let me know!

[@deuxbloom]

Glad to have you back this week. Hope you took plenty of time to grieve and process ❤️ Appreciate everything you do for the community

[@bnjmnwst]

Glad you're back, Austin! I hope things are well concerning whatever issues you were having last week. God bless you, man.

[@thaddeustay2481]

Glad you’re back dude! Always look forward to your vids. We def need a part 2 with instrument plugins! Would love to hear what your thoughts are for some of the plugins out there

[@mr.chilly18]

You’re the best channel for producing. I’ve been doing it for like a year and everything I know is from you. Keep up the great work, keep inspiring.

[@AleZayas]

Nice! Love if this becomes a series even if just a few times a year!

[@MusicWithNoName]

Hey! Just wanted to say that I would be *totally* lost without this channel. You have helped me so much with arrangement techniques, vocal chains, etc. Thanks for everything!

[@rabhijith]

Amazing video ❤. Looking forward to seeing part 2

[@axzarrr]

i agree with most of the tier decisions and i also learned about new plugins i have never heard of that i need to try

[@fabianpaulsson4474]

Have a few of these plug ins but definitely got introduced to new very useful ones. I feel like it’s so easy to just buy plug ins one after one, hoping it will change the game in an instance and take all your worries away but it’s videos likes this that makes it easier to know what’s actually worth it. Very appreciative of your content, you’re making me and everyone else so much better and make wiser choices.

[@clintyoung9902]

Hope everything is going well for the fam. Praying for y’all. No need to be sorry, the content you provide for free on this channel more than makes up for it.

[@1BLiViON1]

I really appreciate your accounting of value in the analyses. It’s often overlooked when producers review or recommend plugins, but you gave it the attention it needs. Helpful for those in the market.

[@MakePopMusic]

I really wanted to make sure I actually offered a LITTLE value in the video lolol thanks for watching

[@1BLiViON1]

@@MakePopMusic All good. Always a joy to support your work, sir. Hope all is well.

[@mcnitt]

Part 2 please! Great video and look forward to more rankings.

[@NightflyerMusic]

Glad to see another video! Life sometimes gets in the way but I'm glad to see you bounce back!

[@kimitheofficial]

Let’s go 🔥🔥 wish I could have more fabfilter plug-ins

[@noelleechenyee93]

In this world where plug-ins are so overwhelming. This video is just GOLD. Thanks for such awesome content Austin!

[@leemarieband]

MY MAN ... I pretty much owe my production skills to you .. thanks for giving such great insight !!!

[@christianquintanilla1800]

I would love to see more videos like these, I recently got some studio monitors to start making music in my room and I always wanted to know More about plugins so this is very informative :,)

[@theadvancedbusinessempire1686]

An amazing selection of Plugins! Great placements! Enjoyed the video!

[@Alex_535M]

Great insights on these plugins! It’s always helpful when reviewers dig into both the strengths and the quirks.Either way, thanks for the solid info!

[@WavingUmbrella]

Love every time a new video from you two drops! As much as you pour into this lovely channel and project, if you need time or a little break - take it

[@louisdifusco]

Your videos are so helpful, I've been following you since a long time now. Thanks alot!!

[@BetterCrypto007]

Austin! thank you again always giving quality info! and pushing the love for pop music forward!!

[@MichaeLance]

Hey man, the fact that y'all put together these awesome videos every week, plus your podcast, plus the store content as well as your music producing...you got plenty of cred in my book. I just hope all is well.

[@parthmalviya4199]

Hey man, just wanna appreciate how real and helpful your channel is, including this video, just the way of recommending plugins based on the price and quality, its just amazing and super helpful, Thank you for this.

[@ericliumusic]

So glad you’re back!!

[@utmosis]

always appreciate the clarity of your vision, and your ability to share it with us! 🦄

[@peepoopsplash]

Glad you see you back!

[@Eddi_Music]

Great video, I really appreciate you giving feedvsck about these plugins. It's so easy to get overwhelmed with the amount of plugins out there

[@ivancaves8855]

glad yall are back, take care.

[@AKOUSTuRK3109]

Literally the best channel on youtube !!

[@Mubi___]

Thank you two for making me love music and production even more!

[@THENAMEISJJAX]

This is so good dude! I also got my recommendations in hehe I think it would be great if you make tier lists for specific effects: compressors, reverb, etc.

[@Mr_Wck]

Great video concept!! More please

[@obarojmusic961]

I just hope I get my hands of on any of those sample. Packs thanks

[@greglcr7283]

Excellent video, great opinions on most plugins here. Would be down for another one !

[@lsraudioofficial]

Missed out on the comp but wanted to send some love. Appreciate you Austin!

[@nicholasfate]

This is actually so helpful. I'm still learning a lot, so thank you for this. Love this channel!!

[@pabloorozco4112]

Great video. I love ranking videos especially if it has to do with production.

[@ConquerMedia]

Glad to have you back!

[@skitt123]

You're the best! I always love watching your processes!

[@larsandersen2757]

Glad to see you back this weekend. Hope you are well.

[@ericeppsmusic]

Missed you last week! Great take on these, and I think we all agree about companies “with insane marketing budgets making scammy plugins”

[@easth30]

Part 2! Thanks for the super helpful videos as always

[@ProdByXBeats]

Great tier list! glad you back this week🙏

[@kevinjones2878]

Great video as always. Your channel has been a real inspiration.

[@patriciaquartet5725]

Heyo thanks! I haven't seen a vst tier list yet. Having a good morning watching this.

[@AdamRestaino]

Yo I love this style of video - nice change up from the usual content and definitely helpful for my indecisive mind 😂 maybe before a part 2 can we get a cheeky recap/review of the plugins you haven’t tried to see where you’d rank them?

[@davelordy]

@13:06 (RAUM) _"it does have a shimmer"_ It doesn't, you are pointing at the 'freeze' button (the frozen snowflake). It's my favourite reverb of all time (even over the ones I paid lots of $$$$ for), if you're signed up for the NI newsletter, they give you a free plugin each Christmas, RAUM was the free plugin 2 or 3 yers back.

[@MakePopMusic]

I realized that after I filmed this. I've used it before and it's fine. I just have a TON of others I go to more. As a free plugin though, it's fire as hell

[@ryte6933]

RAUM is actually free with the Komplete Start bundle, lucky to have gotten it then

[@bennyceca]

RAUM and Valhalla Super Massive I use a lot of, both free and great sounding, at least Raum was free 3 years ago but I also get it with NI Komplete. Highly recommend both of them.

[@davelordy]

@@ryte6933 Cool ! Wasn't aware of that ! Go get it kids, it's free !

[@lexetunez]

Not perfect for vocals.

[@georgeolteanu4289]

Awesome vid. Looking forward to part two.

[@DuckyzToyBox]

Nice vid man. Going to check out some of these for sure 👀

[@thomasflachmusic]

Love your videos and I think ranking plugins is a great idea and you should do more videos \

[@abadpena5482]

I’ve been waiting for you to make a tier list video! 100% make a part 2!

[@idyllize.]

really nice to hear such an honest opinion on all this

[@dylanpowles2208]

Definitely one of, if not the most useful and helpful channels for making sense of producing , thanks! :)

[@BlueJavaTN]

Thanks Austin - definitely would like to see a Part 2!

[@wasnaught]

Best production channel on the tube ❤

[@MateBarzola]

Love your videos and podcast guys! Amazing job!

[@MikeHilbun]

Love all your videos and the podcast too. Much love peace!

[@szzio]

Been watching your vdos for a few months for production Great work bro Keep it up

[@claytonsturgeon7900]

I’d like another video like this.. this was great! I like that you didn’t dilly dally and got to the point. Thanks man! Awesome as always

[@MakePopMusic]

thank you! next time I may do some dilly dallying though so here is your fair warning

[@morizanova]

These kind of video really makes my personal finance a.k.a my wife very nervous especially if my plugin collections doomed to be in your low tier category . BTW thanks for the efforts and times to make this video .

[@CrustTheCreator]

Great content, as usual. Much of what I know as a producer has been gleaned from you guys. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@scottralleymusic]

Good to have you back, hope you and the fam are doing well. I use Reason, so I mainly use the stock devices. It is also a VST, so I recommend that for your next Plugin rankings. I have also been using Silk a lot (but I got it for free when it was released, so that sways my view on it).

[@bobsdock]

I'll add a couple I love. 1: SoundID is vital. 2: Rbass. 3: black box. 4: Melodyne (not just vocal tuning- its tempo mapping, editing and polyphonic functions are just magic and indispensable when nothing else works). 5: As for a compressor- I really miss logic's stock plugin. 6: RX (I record a lot and this fixes any and all problems- I also find myself using music rebalance on stereo recordings, esp video footage from my phone). 7: Relab lx480. 8: SPL transient designer. 9: Townhouse bus comp. 10: echoboy

[@naranzunbadruugan1558]

Thank you for again for your generosity. From your channel I learned a lot. Thank you for that too. Keep it going bro! ❤

[@lakeyshacarswell8072]

Agree Pro Q3 is the goat! Also agree can take or leave RX for music but it's a must have for me because I'm doing a lot of dialog editing for film.

[@yaron_ilani]

Welcome back ❤

[@jimsaunders3797]

Love your content Austin. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge 🙏

[@ksaintartwork6577]

Great video! I would love to see a part 2

[@rulois2cool]

Great vid! Definitely gave me an idea on which plug ins i should take a look at, thanks Austin!

[@JohnCharlesMilazzo]

Great video! Thanks Austin!

[@mistersplice]

I've never progressed enough to attempt plugins yet. this is a great resource

[@misleadin0]

welcome back!!

[@yxngvicxy9915]

Hi Austin! What other summing console emulations do you use? I really liked the Slate when I was paying for the subscription, I own NLS by Waves but it's not on the level imo... any other options?

[@RioWiley]

so insightful, do a part 2!

[@williammclean4632]

🤘🏼🤘🏼 awesome breakdown of a lot of plugins! At the start of my production journey so it’s great to hear from knowledgable sources! Keep up the good work!

[@ikusa6382]

Altiverb is my go to verb, it has a bunch of emulations of live rooms and analog reverbs

[@SkyCityMusicAZ]

Definitely make a part 2 to this, this was really good

[@7echnoid]

Interesting video! Nice to get some new plugin suggestions as well as some extra info on them!

[@PatrickJakucs]

I use Surfer EQ (the Lite Version) in almost all of my sessions. I wanted to upgrade to the full version for years, but let it slide for so long..(instead I just stack :D) But it really is a very precise and well made plugin! The tone quality and the details are so good, that you will not over-boost or -cut frequencies that easy. It detects the harmonics really good and stays in the range of either the wanted harmonics of a certain key or if you want to cut frequencies it stays in the range of the unwanted harmonic frequencies.. So for instance, if you want to make the Bass heard throughout the song more constant you can easily dial in the audible harmonic frequency and let Surfer EQ do the job of where to leave or lift the matching harmonic frequency. You can also determine the Q and how much of the frequency spectrum it supposed to "surf on". Or for Vocals, if you have a nasty upper mid frequency, which pokes out with different notes between 800hz to 1500hz, you can just select that frequency and cut it with a small Q and Surfer EQ takes care of that area in a very subtle and pleasing way.

[@yohanash]

Great video as always!!

[@benjaminsweetmilk5013]

Very interesting to hear your take on everything! Better than I expected tbh :)

[@twyscarver]

Love your vids! Extremely helpful. Keep it up bud!

[@luvitluvitbaby]

I love your videos. You always bring so much value and I’ve learned so much! ❤

[@madrosee]

your degree of education shining while teaching people

[@kombobeats]

Sick video! Might look into some of these

[@_0ALCH0_]

i love your band camino videos, it has helped me with guitars a lot

[@lojoroad698]

I use the Fab Filter Pro Q3 on almost every track. I’m also a huge fan of Spaced Out. I have Valhalla Verb, after watching this I’m adding it to my “must checkout list” .
