I Ranked The BEST Music Production Plugins (Tier List)

[@fightclxb_rave]

Parameteric EQ2 is really good, heatmap is a thing for sound design. Heatmap can show you every harmonic of the sound more detailed than all other EQ's

[@STNKB]

And I think it's the perfect amount of simple but intuitive. I have proq, but I never use it over para2. Just so easy

[@fightclxb_rave]

And about fl limiter. Maybe its about my workflow (i use this only for sidechain and clipping), but if you make delta bypass (invert phase) in clip mode for fl limiter and pro l2 with same settings you will get... Silence. This plugins have similar algorithms

[@DodgaOfficial]

Seriously, one thing I've learned is that not every channel needs a fancy plugin, use stock plugins for inserts and fancier ones for buses and sends.

[@thexguymusic]

yeah, knew that, I’m just saying it’s not a thing I use a lot and I don’t like the filters mostly, might be because I’m not that into sound design tho

[@thexguymusic]

for sure! I just don’t like EQ2 at all, but for example, when I’m in ableton, I use the regular stock plugin all the time

just subbed great vid GOAT

[@thexguymusic]

thank YOU GOAT 🫡

[@UneriumDaLion2560]

There are so many AWESOME and GOAT plugins available from the ones mentioned in your video, but to be completely honest with you, Vital should be ranked as the GOAT plugin with Serum in my opinion, because it's almost completely FREE, and it has truly unique warping modes that probably no other synth plugin has, and there's another completely FREE forever & fully-functional plugin that should be ranked at the GOAT tier, and that's BYOD by ChowDSP for its features that allow producers to create truly unique & fresh sounds, so that their music is transcendently more likely to sound unique & captivating.

[@thexguymusic]

thanks for sharing ur thoughts, actually you’re right! it must be m I’m no that into sound design but now that u say this, I’d place it at the top 🫡

[@UneriumDaLion2560]

@thexguymusic No problem, dude! By the way, I'm advocating for completely FREE forever VST3 plugins for the entire EDM producer community. This way, they can make extraordinary and unique music even without access to paid plugins! :) Thanks for your response, BTW. I wasn’t expecting that! I’ve been using BYOD by ChowDSP, and it’s a game changer for my sound design. Completely free and VST3-compatible. I plan to use it in my music. Want to try it?

[@thexguymusic]

@@UneriumDaLion2560sure! Write me [e-mail]

[@audiovoid]

Great list but I am quite surprised that Devious Machines 'Infiltrator' isnt on it. That is the Goat of muti-fx plugins imo. Also Kilohearts Phase Plant ftw!

[@thexguymusic]

haven’t tried these bro, gonna do, thx! btw, isn’t it included in the free kilohearts bundle?

[@audiovoid]

@@thexguymusic Not included in khs free bundle no. Both are paid plugins but worth every penny imo.

[@thexguymusic]

@@audiovoid gonna check them then, thx 🫡

[@bildjan]

Yu are missing almost most of the GOAT plugins- Spectrasonics, sonible, sonnox, UAD,

[@thexguymusic]

gonna try them!

[@KnuckleThruster]

What’s up with the gloves?

[@thexguymusic]

[@Cybah]

[@thexguymusic]
