music Plugins, SFZ, Samples, ETC

[Sudo Krenton 243]

Hello!

 

Thought I'd start a thread where people could share their awesome finds on VSTs, SFZ, samples, and other cool stuff they use in their DAW with others.

 

I'd prefer this thread to be on free plugins, samples, and such, but if you highly recommend a paid item, then you can list it.

 

To get this thread rolling, I'll list a few:

 

SFZs:

Orchestral

SSO: http://sso.mattiaswestlund.net

NewGrounds: http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1200140

 

Plugins(VST 1/2/3):

Instruments

SFZ player: http://www.plogue.com/products/sforzando/

Ample Sound Guitars: http://www.amplesound.net/en/download.asp

MinimogueVA: http://www.vst4free.com/free_vst.php?id=405

T-Force Alpha Plus: http://www.mastrcode-music-vst.com/main.php?cat=8

 

Effects

Ambiance: http://www.vst4free.com/free_vst.php?id=568

 

Drums/Sound Samples/One-Shots/ETC:

Orchestral

Drums of War: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bxw5Dbk0jBbWdVRiUXNrakpyWjg/edit

 

Electronic-geared

Real Samples

So there's a list. I'll add more stuff to it over time, but in the meantime, if you know some great VST, SFZ, sample, etc., feel free to share it with everyone! If one of these links does not work, let me know, and I'll either remove it, or find a new one.

Well tbh i don't generally go free synths. When it comes to getting a freeware or a pirated payware i'd go for the latter.....

 

But here's a lsit full of some favorite recommended ones (many i've tried, some i haven't)

While many synths can really do the same things it often becomes just the differences in presets, nobs, and wheelz that make them each worth going after.

A lot of the free vst plugins I have are still experimental (trying to see if I will ACTUALLY use them), but there is at least one that is pretty excellent so far:

Not the MOST experienced musician, but I thought I might as well share one of the synthesizers I've found in the process of learning.

Very true, there are several synths out there that do the exact thing in different ways. Although becoming a pirate is one of the common way for someone to get synths, I want to try to discourage that and show that some of those sample packs, synths, etc have potential (assuming you are never paying for it in the future).

I'm glad your exploring the world of vsts. Have fun with making music

 

Thanks guy for adding on to this topic, if there's anything I can do to help you guys, musically or not, let me know!

If you need some sort of "All-in-one" orchestra VST,you can have "Best Service Complete Classical Collection".
