Bundle FUNdle

[@PeterSatera]

Tom, follow up. Top 5 kontakt libraries. ;)

[@woofer8395]

YESSSS

[@Byron101_]

I HATE Kontakt. But great libraries ^^ I love Halion for own sampling.

[@ToxicTurtleIsMad]

That would surely include some kind of bias. They are in to deep.

[@juanfleal]

I think Decent Sampler is a free and very cool alternative to Kontakt, Arturia's Synths are very good but now there's a lot of great alternatives like GForce, Cherry Audio, u-he, Softube Synths.. and for mixing just stock plugins can do the job too

[@pnutbuttajellee1394]

It's decent...😊...but definitely not as powerful or flexible as Kontakt. As much as I dislike Kontakt editing UI, it makes up for it power

[@aldo34]

I also like Decent Sampler. Arturia's 'Pigments' is cool, and I love the 'Augmented' series. Tom had mentioned Newfangled Audio's 'Generate' synth previously, which is super fun. I think 'Phaseplan't' for me might be king of the soft synths however 🙂

[@aldo34]

Nice, thanks Tom. Same for me for all of these except Omnisphere (just haven't spent time with it). Particular shout outs to the Arturia 'Augmented' series and 'Pigments' synth, as well as everything Unfiltered Audio do via Plugin Alliance.

[@Drotz]

The Fabfilter plugins are really amazing. I use them in every step of the process from sound design to mixing and mastering

[@FMwin900]

Tom if you put up your old drum libraries for sale people would love that ! I know you have the stuff with orchestral tools but it would be cool to have some throwbacks or different stuff from you

[@kostasmanikis]

That's more like 500 plugins than 5!

[@LearnCompositionOnline]

Hey Tom! Nice that you are back. Curious to more long deep dives in your process!

[@LearnCompositionOnline]

Mine is MV2, OTT, Izotope RX8

[@AironExTv]

I'm a re-recording mixer. Fabfilter lives in all my mixes, including the new Pro-R2 reverb. These guys are just great on workflow. I certainly wouldn't want to work without Pro-Q3 any more.

[@ScottMcDavid-Music]

Always good to get your take on things. Whether it's gear, software, composing or whatever... very informative

[@WhySoBroke]

You have my endless and eternal attention boss... many thanks for sharing your undeniable talent!! ❤️🇲🇽❤️

[@AndyHallHall]

the joy I felt when it turned out I already own all of these!! 😀

[@GuigzArtMusic]

Hey, we've missed you ! I would add the SSL plugins from SSL themselves especially channel strip 2 (e.g. the SSK 9K). Makes life easier

[@englishwithphil42]

Damn, I want them all. But then I remember it's all about the skill, not the tools. :)

[@ColinUTD]

Live and Learn.

[@MapleSonics]

Hey Tom, i have a question about working with modular. How do you switch from jamming and experimenting to making a composition? Thx! Br Marc

[@TomislavRupic]

Nice list, If I had to add 6 it would be everything from u-he, they make such a great plugins.

[@filmscoringde]

surprised u-he is not mentioned! :-D

[@ohmnemusic1606]

I think a cool topic to talk about (since I have not seen many videos about this on youtube) is how to update your cubase template once a new version of Kontakt is released, it's been always a pain in the ass for me when switching from version 5 to 6 and now kontakt 7 or I have not been explained how to this in a quick and practical way at least.

[@vittoriocopioso]

No(i)se FX; plugin bonus powered by the one and only Junkie!!

[@sonidojamon]

Welcome back! We missed you!! Video timestamps would be appreciated 😉

[@bx_dirk2771]

Thank you Tom!

[@vicneve1169]

I compared all my compressor plugins to Fabfilter PRO-C2. And that compressor beats them every time. I don't have to say anything about PRO-Q3 of course😍. But I recently found a delay plugin that beats fabfilter timeles 3. Newfangled Recirculate. It's amazing.

[@PowerRedBullTypology]

as someone new to fabfilter, all these names used are not nessisarily super easy to remember

[@PeterTMusic]

Great video! I’d love to see your top 5 of your own Kontakt libraries you’ve created!

[@popolokross444]

Tom, those Mad Max Drums are insane!

[@Kkidzz]

UVI Falcon sooooo slept on for instrument building.

[@barrythave]

Heel gaaf! Love the stuf that is available these days, and also that they added stuf, like you said, that is not on the original. Best of both worlds.

[@keykiyox]

I have everything listed…. So many others too. NI, Omnisphere, Arturia, PA, Fab.

[@artisans8521]

Omnisphere is a goto for Phinneas O'Connell as well. I own some plugin alliance stuff. Learned something....Fab filter being Dutch. I have NI EC 14 as my largest bundle. Love it.

[@foruncolo74]

Ever tried UVI Falcon? Maybe it's less intuitive if you start from scratch but has way more potential than both Kontakt and Omnisphere to me and the libraries are very good too.

[@jno8039]

I own both Falcon and Omnisphere. I have to admit I'm using way more Omnsiphere. Both sound great, but Omnisphere is so intuiitive and still a power house

[@Kihilbill]

Good advice

[@Karabanka]

Love you

[@stijncole_composer]

And at number 6 the Soundtoys bundle! 😊

[@tuc5987]

Ah you mean your top 5 plugin companies!

[@Diamond_ores5530]

I love your videos junkie xl

[@djmrnobodymusic]

Love Fabfilter! 👍

[@amonster8mymother]

I dont use kontakt. I have a sample library I acquired prior to 2005. ❤ I make it my own.

[@amado7760]

Arturia is awesome, there developers are always hard at work.

[@PerchHunter]

Now would be fantastic to find out 5 or more favourite sample libraries You use the most ;)

[@pnutbuttajellee1394]

Probably libraries he created that we can't get out hands on.

[@JagerJag100]

That's classic top i guess) I can't live without Soothe 2)

[@powerofsparda]

Hi Tom ! Which vst do you used for the man of steel piano sound ? 😍👌Cheers !

[@Tonepusher]

Great choice of plugins, they're all classics and I also cannot live without em hehe thanks for sharing!

[@FowaJCT]

PUT EITHER THE ORIGINAL LIVE AND LEARN OR AN CINEMATIC ORCHESTRAL COVER OF LIVE AND LEARN IN SONIC MOVIE 3(And not just an Easter egg, THE WHOLE SONG)

[@TonyAndersonMusic]

Love this! How’s the NFT coming along?

[@Lumiiify]

LOL

[@kwhandy]

mr tom pls share your plugin list on google docs, i really curious your starter pack from month to month

[@SPsounds100]

Pro Q 3 is above everyone else

[@Oblivion751]

More like 188 plugins i cant live without 😅. Cheers Tom , glad you are back to the channel!

[@knivesout33]

* Expects 5 super plugins * Gets 3 bundles 👀

[@BeeyothGaming]

I Love these vids Tom! This is probably the one I'm most likely to understand as a newbie 😂

[@JeffBradleyWrites]

I'm curious about Kontakt. If you didn't have so much invested into it already, what would you use instead?

[@pclairoot]

You should try UVI Falon. You'lle nere toucj Kontakt or Omnisphere again.

[@mingomarrero]

I have all these plugins, but I can't even sound 1% like Junkie XL! 😂

[@PrototypeOnDemand]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Floofy007]

Can you do a video dedicated to autopan? I'm really interested in what you think of it and how you use it

[@suadcokljat1045]

Good choice

[@Maplefoxx-vl2ew]

show us some examples of orchestration in midi pls , show the midi on screen. this is what youtube music production is missing. everyone just trying to sell me a course that might not work for me. I just need arrangement examples more really. love all your stuff , Brothers in Arms and every Godzilla vs Kong track. so good

[@ricshaw4358]

good selection

[@oddlyoddity]

Wonderful!

[@LordAssassinLych]

I expected to hear something like: Waves, UAD, McDSP. Although I predicted Kontakt

[@1powerequalsgod]

The title for this video is so off. 1. The Plug-in Alliance bundle and subscription is best on the market in my opinion keeps on growing is worth it. 2. Arturia plug-in everything bundle is also a gold standard keeps on getting better and better is worth it. I’m not into the Kontact sampler but I like the UVI Falcon and Vintage Vault bundle together plus the expansion series. Totally capable of going beast mode with this set up. 3 Fabfilter everything bundle is great but it’s got its competitors in every category worthy of a replacement to its product line.

[@marlonjarek9071]

i'm curious what would you like to exchange kontakt with?

[@cesmcmyth]

Plugin alliance... damn.

[@omisan59]

I have omnisphere, and Arturia,korg and Roland😊

[@Sool101]

In that case, you have room for one more. Knif audio. Thank me later

[@tapeexperiments]

Cheers!

[@Strafuzz]

I moved to Halion after using Kontakt and haven’t looked back

[@PowerRedBullTypology]

What do you like about it more? The sounds (libs) or workflow or?

[@Strafuzz]

@@PowerRedBullTypology integration with Cubase

[@J.M.81]

1+ to all of those - the Omnisphere is just a never ending source of sounds.... been using it since 11 years and you will never get to the point of not finding sth. usefull.... just did the music for the new Sauber/Alfa Racecar reveal clip which will be released in a few days and the Omnisphere ruled.... also you need to check out the sonible plugins ... their smart EQ 4 is a whole new dimension since it is able to communicate with the other smart EQs in the project... they also start to replace some of my Fabfilters....

[@hamidrezanikoofar]

If it ain't Dutch, it ain't much!

[@woofer8395]

My BUNDLE 1) NATIVE Komplete CE 2) Pigments 3) D16 Phoscyon 2 4) ABLETON LIVE "12" 5) Maschine MK3 6) iZotope OZONE 11 7) CableGuys SHAPERBOX 3 8) RC-20 RetroColor 9) Plugins Alliance VSTs (Some plugins)

[@EBMZEQUENZER]

I am baffled by some ARTURIAS choices, they've emulated nearly all iconic synths but never did the most iconic drum synth in history SIMMONS SDS V I wonder why? Cheers 🥂

[@ProducerReef]

Following you is the best.

[@johnclapzucker3145]

❤.

[@pedrobarrionovo]

❤☕️

[@chris.langill]

TIL Fabfilter is Dutch!

[@aaamultimedia7383]

SAME

[@hearmenow909]

I'm surprised there's no UAD on there.

[@sub40hz]

Kontakt is dated. UVI Falcon is waaaaaay ahead, and sounds so much better.

[@danadominguez5760]

Omnisphere is a beast. Love it.

[@FatalFriction]

wot, no OTT? ;)

[@Rhythmattica]

Ahhh.. Plug ins, and Bundles..... Hmmmmmmmm

[@splashesin8]

:)

[@Teddyrobinson]

I'm a simple man, I see JXL, I click

[@LabofmusicRecords]

ah the "bundle man" 😅

[@stephenalexandarmusic]

Mmh can’t believe this advertisement for PA, there are much better quality plugins out there, beside miserable plugin update policy

[@homelander4824]

Choosing bundles as top plugins is slightly cheating 😉

[@zorancalic65]

Nice, but it is not 5 plugins, it is 100 plugins

[@moisesherreraa]

This is NOT five plugins... It's five brands...

[@CarpeDiem-311]

Number 6 is Autotune ! 😮

[@StefanNitzsche]

That was so lazy! 😂 Instead of five plugins you chose two plugins and three plugin companies… which is dozens of plugins 😂
