thanks for watching catch me on twitch every saturday :)
main channel: @rioleyva2002

[@paryobeats]

Bro put Zenology on D tier too bad hes being honest on his opinion and everyone is entitled to their own opinion and Theres no reason for me to say hes wrong because like he said I can go make my own VST tier list

[@joesno]

rio just be hating zenology

[@m3ga1od0n]

Rio should do a effect plugin tier list

[@prodslevin]

he said he would next stream if I remember correctly

[@WattyWrld]

I love it that you started with such videos they are very entertaining ngl

[@LETTMusic]

Serum is the only major misplacement. It's hard to say everyone is using the same sounds when it's the synth with the most extensive banks and preset market in the industry, so there's just way too much stuff out there for it to get overly samey. It's my bread and butter sound design synth, I don't even really rely on other banks. A tier at worst I feel. The noise OSC doubles as a sampler, and you can dump atmospheres and stuff in there so you can do some crazy textural sound design stuff in it. Main ones missing are LennarDigital Sylenth, Reveal Sound Spire, and Arturia Pigments 3.

[@YungxKeen]

Its his personal tierlist man, how can you call it a misplacement lmao

[@LETTMusic]

​@@YungxKeen C is barely passing as a grade, and Serum excels at most things, so I still stand by calling it the one misplacement. I get it's a personal list, but for anyone trying to make their own synth purchases based on this video, I think it's worth the callout on Serum specifically to not overlook it based on popular preset usage. It's popular for a reason. But also, A tier is just my opinion, just like C tier is his opinion. So just two opinions floating on the internet. He even said he would have potentially placed it differently in the past, so it could be different again in the future. I'm here to relight that spark.

[@randomchannel323]

I would put serum in S tier just because of what u can make and the FX is really configurable

[@LETTMusic]

@@randomchannel323 For real, Serum FX as a standalone Effects Rack plugin is goated as well. I like the distortion modules and compressor in it. I use it on a lot of stuff that aren't even synths.

[@superxnatrl1941]

yeah sounds like he is just sick of it

[@randomchannel323]

I would put omnisphere in D tier honestly it has some nice sounds but so many of them can't be used in songs cause they're just weird. Plus the crazy price

[@rdesousa8955]

Very refreshing to see someone using an AKG instead of the usual sm7b, 1st vid ive seen from you & before even listening to a word you said i already like you, well done

[@tanisbeats]

This is definitely gonna be one of my favourite channels ❤️‍🔥

[@zSonnyyy]

This is some good sauce, thank you Rio ❤🙏

[@prodslevin]

Used the tierlist to figure out what to cop next thanks for the streams rio 👍

[@glenchaos9]

Bro is literally the goat so thankful

[@lucasrobinson8474]

best producer rio u goated ash

[@pelevaradi-mulia2869]

been waiting for this

[@pendulumstalker]

YO! Synplant!!! Most underrated VST I've ever come across, been around for a decade and it's still better than most. Microtonic is another secret weapon of mine I use in almost every track. Sonic Charge is great with their support too, amazing free additions and updates.

[@chrisanderrnneseth3167]

Great! Do one for pedals and analog synths too please!

[@jayxm2891]

bro fr fr your next vid should be on your effects tiers list OR kontact bank tier list. A lot of other commenters are echoing the same sentiment ✊🏿

[@nora96780]

Rio u the goat fr fr

Diva VST is the best synth ever These sounds are so incredible and unique

8:00 what pianos are better than keyscape??

[@IcyOffical]

Rio!🔥🐐

[@cloudmalcolm]

can you make a list of your kontakt banks? :O love u rio

[@sonnymoonlight]

everything about zenology was spot on

[@ProdBySurreal]

This your year rio!!!

[@mercaloops]

i think omni is very underrated as a sound design tool tbh

[@vazilstu]

Goat 🐐❤️

[@yungnilli]

Your take on analog lab is pretty true ( but i still like it )

[@kurant2115]

Does anyone know what are the other options for replacing Keyscape, would you go for addictive keys or kontakt libraries?

[@kdg6963]

I’ve been leaning more toward addictive keys over the kontakt pianos myself

[@gamma.mp6]

Bruh I just found the 2nd best YT channel

[@vibezl]

What mic is that?

[@808chemi8]

Someone can put all plugins?

[@corianjackson]

I agree w most, you have a good ear. although I’m a young OG so Triton would go more toward the top just because lol. What’s crazy is I expected to get put onto hot new VSTs but it seems like almost everything anyone is using has been out for 10+ years. We need some new classics. Going to get more into Kontakt now.

[@rioleyvatv8386]

yea there’s definitely some new vsts but nothing insane

[@trevorspecter6376]

Thank you RIO for this post 🤓

[@prod.xstasy]

Zenology in D is crazy it’s so good😭💔

[@prod.byapello7499]

I love you rio. I agree with everything u said except for analog lab this shit is my soul 😂

[@choppoel9938]

I like purity just for the fact you can link the different sounds

[@rxgi]

I was just about to dm you on IG about this topic. Im looking to expand on what VSTs ive had. Would you be able to make a video going over some of the lesser known vsts you fw?

[@rioleyvatv8386]

yea i got you

[@rxgi]

@@rioleyvatv8386 Ty so much Rio!!

[@soccerman127]

2:55 "Trillian in A tier. Because a live bass is better"... That could be said about all the VSTS

[@TheMrb777]

Zenology in d tier is wild. I’d say it’s one of the best currently

[@tri-unetrl3966]

How can you spend 350 dollars on a VST like Falcon and not have messed with it like that yet???

[@U_r_hopeless]

Did nick mira smack you for putting zenology in d tier?

[@Theonewhoknocks111]

I see what rio is trying to do he is gatekeeping serum

[@prodinuyasha]

to be fair zenology and wavestation are pretty similar with the difference wavestation got some crazy drum and perc loops, that D tier hurts to see😭

[@mudi2000a]

Also Zenology is much better than Xpand and had lot of usable presets. Me personally I like pads in xpand but I hardly ever use it because preset browser is crap.

[@lucar648]

If I could only get 1 what would that 1 be? RIO THE GOAT BTW

[@darkoivx]

nice vid bro
