^ and not to mention Collosseus.. That one is major too..

For ethnic sounds look for the VST "Ethno Instrument" by MOTU.. That one is a killer too..

He has Goliath on the list which is the updated version of colossus.

^ Oh O.O! my bad sirr.. Didn't know that... Thnx

i mainly use soundfonts
but da mane vst i use is ravity ,blue and albino3 but rarely use them

Nice initiative.. now, your work is to put in front of each VST what it does

And maybe organize it in categories !

haha ! ^^

Oh by the way...vanguard is used quite extensively by danja.. it's quite easy to tweak it and make one's own gated synth with it...
As far as mixing is concerned UAD Waves (you put it) oxford T-rack for mastering Voxengo elephant and a few others (Ozone of course but I think you mentionned it) Baxxpander(free) jb ferox Stillwell plugins (not so bad transient designer, i don't like it that much but it's the only one i got) Have you put Giga studio (dre uses it) ? otherwise there is most of the thing in there... oh also on getting on another level people might want some SSl board emulation : Waves and UAD both made one i think... emulation of the mythic SSL 4000 very good from what I have heard... haven't tried it yet... there is the SSL compressor, channel strips and many other toys to get the sound to the next level.. I would differentiate that from the waves bundles... you forgot sytrus mayne !!!! ^^ the yellow fruit of fruity loops !

^ you've really studied that alot huh you french mofo xD

you got me kinda confused tho, i thaught the waves bundles where the ssl emulators :\

Colossus sucks....has some good sounds but nothing that really got me. Symphonic orchestry is much better. Theres a new one like Colossus i forget the name it contains a wide range of sounds like colossus.

Colossus is a bit pricey but it doesn't suck. Although the sound are really dry and require bit a reverb. Also it is a bit unfair to compare it to Symphonic Orchestra because the two are entirely different products. Colossus is more of a high quality general midi soundbank whereas Symphonic Orchestra is deals solely with orchestral sounds. But even If you were to compare them solely on the basis of out-of-the-box sound quality Symphonic Orchestra stands out because the sounds were recorded to include the hall's ambiance and thus sound "wetter" than the Colossus samples. If you have access to colossus just add reverb and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Nah there are several bundles : Renaissance, Tony Maserati (platinium audio engineer and really helpful guy ), Mercury etc etc...

there, is the list...

I'm looking to try Collossus... Dre uses it (lol I try everything he tries whenever I can lol , i'm such a groupie x)

btw...shouldnt this be in sound design?

it is a general discussion o.0 its a lot of general info about vst's lol...*shrug* but ya i think ur right...but its still a good topic and in the general area it'll get more attention than the sound design part of the forums ...i've never even heard of goliath, collussus, symphonic orchestra or ethno instrument, definitely gonna checkum tho i could def use some new ethno stuff n try somethin new.

ya so i was checkin out that ehtno instrument today...that thing is sick but that guy ^^^ there in that link is freakin rediculous with the keys.

Technically, but its too good. So i'm gonna move it to the sticky icky section. great thread

Yup it's really a great thread ....

I would add :

Synth : Sylenth, Tone2 Gladiator, Tone2 Firebird(great one by tone2)

Sound effect vst : Bitcrusher ( it downgrades the bitrate and put some distortion, so that your stuff sounds more gritty, more odschool, more MPC 8bits like)

all the PSP Audioware plugins (for mixing)

Lexicon Pantheon ( very good reverb and very cpu efficient)


Stillwell plugins

UAD plugins

Oxford plugins

I really like nexus... but I have not yet got it... but i did get a chance to play with it and i absolutely love the sounds

Updated it, yay!

base i'm assuming those plugins all cost moneys?

there are some really good free ones here
http://www.ourafilmes.com/........... great quality

wow thats alot good lookin out

Wow thats great thx alot guys! I have a question, I'm planning to get Nexus, Edirol orchestra and Hypersonic 2 real soon, would I still need soudnfounts? Cuz i got some that I like (Cash money , scott storch kit, mann fresh kit, timbaland etc) but I might need to remove things to save space for the new plugins, what you guys think about it?

^ Once i discovered vsts i totally abandoned my collection of soundfonts. Although my drums still primarily come from my collection of wav files.
