Jim Hurley 55 Posted July 7, 2022 If you only had one VST instrument and one VST effect what would they be? I am an experimenter, so it is somewhat easy: Reaktor would be my VST (and it could be used as an effect as well, but not here), Kore would be my effects instrument. That also cheats, because Kore can load anything. Without cheating, I would pick Falcon as instrument and Crusher-X as effect. Bidule and MSoundFactory could also appear as one of these alternates. These are all very general plug-ins. Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bapu 6,059 Posted July 9, 2022 (edited) Besides, just about any DAW on today's market have a sufficient set of FX plugins and many have a "synth" as well as some maybe have a piano. 🙂 At least CbB has most of these (TTS-1 covers a lot of ground even if it has dated sounds).

Jim Hurley 55 Posted July 9, 2022 How much time does it take to keep 4000 VST up-to-date? With only a thousand I seem to get updates several times a week. Mostly those these updates seem to be for Apple machines mostly.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mostly those these updates seem to be for Apple machines mostly.  I tend do the manual updates (no desktop installer app) once a month. Takes typically 1 hour. During the week I follow Deals where updates are posted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
