🔥 DAW plugins vs purchased plugins? What do you think?

[@priawanwibisono2261]

As a beginner I tried to focus with stock plugin first. While there are Serum or Echoboy, I'll stick with Wavetable and Echo to really master it first. Even I still don't understand some plugin specifically compressor, I can't tell the difference from your video (maybe because I'm using phone speaker). But I heard Glue Compressor is nice enough so I don't need buy anything. Oh, maybe vocal processor though, I'm eyeing Ovox or Vocalsynth and waiting real discount

[@jloiben12]

It depends. For example, I use Presonus’s fat channel a lot for recording. But when I mix I primarily use Plugin Alliance, Izotope, and Soundtoys. Almost all of my instrument plugins are purchased (Arturia V collection, Korg Triton, Spitfire Audio, and Ample Sound)

[@vinylstudi0]

Ableton Daw plugins aren't bad

[@briand1579]

I love ableton and its plugins but visually the aren’t so nice and you can’t float or resize them... my eyes aren’t so great and they can be hard for me to read for this reason I use mostly 3rd party aside from eq8 and auto filter..... however I will say the max for live lfo tool has become necessity for me

[@juansebastianmusician]

For instruments I'd go without doubt for external plugins. For effects I think is okay to start with stock plugins, and also they have better cpu usage. But with the time, I think is really nice to try external plugins to improve workflow, discovering new sounds and stay creative 😄

[@kaidoChess]

I love how quick paced this video is, no time wasted, straight to the point. 🔥🔥 10/10. Always waves reverb is pretty killer

[@JoseCruz11123]

Pigments doesn't get enough credit for how good of a synth it is. I was happy to see it at your #1 spot! It has a great granular synth in it, great wavetable control (not as good as serum but still good), and a huge sample library that comes with it full of one shot guitars pianos, ethnic plucked instruments, strings, foley, voice, drums, etc that are ready to go for processing. Color coded parameters is also a huge QOL I didn't know I needed and wish I had in my other main synths I use. The best part about it is that is has one of the best integrated arpeggiators I've used in any synth and is my go-to when making any arps. Huge control of individual glide, gate, and velocity steps. Capable of polyrhythmic timing of each of those parameters. And an swing knob that works in percentages instead of just on/off so it's easy to sync to my project's swing level. I haven't touched the Ableton stock arp since getting Pigments on release! Definitely worth it for just that.

[@SanjayC]

For sure. Happy to make sure others know about it

[@rowanonx5806]

pigments so underrated. the init preset is fire in every situation and it's all around the best synth right now imo

[@RSI24]

One of the best

[@switterbeet]

and their expansions are often on sale, where you get packs with 128 Presets for 14,99€,

[@RevJ7]

Compared to Khs Phaseplant, it's literally nothing. Might as well use Massive X at that point lol .. I mean... don't. It's shit. But Pigments doesn't have half the features of Phaseplant. Hell, Harmor came out years ago, and I'd say that's also far better.

Soundtoys are amazing, Valhalla is amazing for the money! Nexus is inspirational, LFO tool by Xfer is vital. Acustica make the best Eq plug ins but are a little unstable, so bouncing is required

[@HazyJ28]

My favorite Synths are Harmor, Union, Orb Synth, Vital, and Iris 2. There's something about Granular Synthesis that's always captivated me, which is why I love Iris so much. And I love Harmor (and Morphine for that matter) for the Resynthesis capabilities. WaveTable and FM Synthesis is neat as well, which is why I also want to recommend Hybrid 3.

[@TheMostViolentMan]

Sanjay C is a great music producer and a Friendly KZbinr who solves all his Subscribers doubt. Thanks 🙌🙌

[@SanjayC]

You're very kind. Thank you!

[@robinbramlett110]

My top favorite synths on my machine are Pigments, U-He Diva, and U-He Zebra. I also just recently acquired XO. THE BEST DECISION EVER!! For pianos I’m using Logic’s stock Steinway and AIR’s Minigrand but I’m going to add NI’s Alicia’s Keys, Noire, and Grandeur in the near future. That RC 20 is on my list, too.

[@JD-ih2io]

Favourite Synth Sanjay is also my newest purchase, Viper. By far the best synth i've used for Hardstyle / Rave Big Room and for people who are just getting into sound design it's perfect, very easy to use. Also, as it's ( relatively ) new it's being updated and growing which means soon it'll be a competitor for any synth out there imo. Definitely more for the Harder styles but in this category, and for me personally , the best!

[@jayshubconstruction7255]

[@dennisvandermeer8238]

Great video again Sanjay. Pigments - Check, VintageVerb - Check, Raum - Check, Soundtoys bundle - Check, Alicia's Keys - Check, Arturia Pianos - Check, Omnisphere - Check, Ozone - Check. Keyscape I would definately like to buy at one point but I will wait until a nice deal (maybe during Black Friday). Waves I'll avoid due to their update policy. Nexus would be nice but it is way too expensive for what you get. For beginners who do not know any music theory Scaler2 by Plugin Boutique might be nice. And as an addition I would recommend that if people do not own any Native Instrument plugins or they find the bundle too expensive, at least consider buying Kontakt. It is still widely used and a lot of nice and cheap deals are for plugins that run in Kontakt but are for the full version a lot of the times.

[@SanjayC]

Scaler 2 is a great plugin too. Wow...you've got the rest covered!!!

[@pnutbuttajellee1394]

With Surge and Vital synths for free, they compare and are in some cases better than Pigments or Massive. Vital has very similar visual modulation UI, which helps a ton when creating patches. They will become more and more popular over time.

I can imagine others are accurate in saying it's not a true powerhouse/workhorse like Serum or a few others, but it's got a really nice sound and a lot of care clearly went into it. Some of the presets alone are fantastic and it just has some really nice sounds.

Valhalla DSP and Audio Damage also make great effect plug-ins. One of my favorite synths (for Trance music) is Synth One from KV331. Really amazing.

I'm not sure if the FL plugins were available for other DAW's when this was posted, But Vocodex is a great tool. Also the whole Kilohearts bundle is great but the most necessary in my opinion are the Multipass specifically 2.0 + Due to the Convolver which is awesome and can change your sound drastically, Disperser, and Phasplant (Phenominal Synth). Some other good processing plugins are Schaack Audio Transient Shaper, Kilohearts transient shaper is not bad as well but Schaakk audio just has more of an analogue feel to it. V-Clip or G-Clip are a must have. I prefer V-Clip. Also Shaperbox & Infiltrator. Tone2 Bifilter Is a must have for me (The Comb Filter is insane, as well as the vowels and many others). Tone2's AkutiXs is great too. Kick 2 Is definitely a must have as it makes it easy to design your own custom kicks. The Fab-Filter Budle is also a must have I use their plug-ins on every track.

The last Eight Voice is a great synth and inexpensiv. Then special synths like Loom2 for pads, or the FM Synth Dexed or Solina Redux, is a nice string synth. And I like the iZotope stuff for Mixing, Mastering and Effekts, but i like as well there Iris2 and Break Tweaker. For composing Scaler2! My last invest is Unify from PluginGuru. A very interesting vst plugin, to build up layers of sounds and You can integrate as well near all of your other vst plugins, like in a daw, but much easier and than use ist as an instrument.

That's totally cool. You can get a lot of your DAW plugins for sure. What are the DAW plugins you use most?

[@AVMusic2612]

@@SanjayC I use Cubase LE. It came free with my evo 4. And it is really great in terms of internal plugins and workflow. I also use many free plugins that you feature in Saturday News reports

[@SanjayC]

Arturia all of a sudden have become my favourite audio company. You can even buy their plugins as "rent to own" on Splice, which is awesome. I think Pigments is an awesome synth. I'm curious to try the new synth that Splice is going to be releasing soon.

Sylenth1/serum/nexus 2 are synth's holy trinity for me!

Synth - V collection 7 (coz I own this only🥺) Reverb - lexicon pro Must have sampler - kontakt Delay - Repeater by D16 Multi effect - unfiltered audio Byome

[@alchemistrpm82]
