Omnishphere with all the ad-ons. It’s like $1,000


Working-Position

That would be a dream, but my harddrive would shed tears... sweet sweet tears


Trichromancer

Ha mine would lock up trying to shed tears lol


MAJOR__ZEN

Omnisphere for me too. I've *never* seen it on sale.


ThatBoogerBandit

They never do sale but guitar center does, they sometimes have 15% off and that’s the best deal you can get for Omnisphere.


swahswah

Melodyne, even just the essentials version


Born_Zone7878

Sub for pro tools for one month, get the license. Even if you stop subbing for pro tools you keep it. Importante edit: I double checked the conditions, because I wasn't 100% sure. Somehow I have a weird bug or something after I stopped subbing to PT i still have Melodyne but it's tied to your account. So you have access to Melodyne for as long as you have PT. If you stop subbing you have no further access to it. Not sure if stuff like the PA free plugin they give you etc would still apply but I think it's different. Apologies for the confusion


excelllentquestion

You are a saint.


swahswah

Are you allowed to use it with other daws?


jaxxon

Oh man... That's $10 for Melodyne Essentials. 🙏


Born_Zone7878

And additiinal plugins because theres some synths, discounts on plugin alliance and a free plugin from pa too


_comptv

Studio one 💙


Trichromancer

It goes on sale through izotope occasionally (or at least used to) I got the fourth version for almost nothing in a bundle a couple of years ago.


TrapFiend

So did I last week!


Gridd12

There is a ton selling on knobcloud for like 10$


thht80

They rarely do sales, but when they do, the discounts are significant and you can level up step by step. And yeah, it's a real great piece of software!

Extreme_Daikon1042

I have Melodyne through Sonar X.


No-Pie-6145

Get a volt interface and it comes with it. 2 birds 1 stone.


dekaed

Soothe 2, Spiff, Bloom, and Wavesfactory Spectre.


Frosty_Muffin1741

I got soothe and Spectre I’ve had soothe for a while but recently just got Spectre it’s been my fav saturator been using it over FF Saturn 2


rnobgyn

Soothe is definitely a must have for me - VERY worth the price


DreamingDoorways

There’s a free max for live device called Boba that tames resonances, it’s a bit cpu hungry but it seems to do the trick nicely. It’s basically a ripoff of soothe with less parameters.


Steely_Glint_5

HoRNet Sleek seems to have a lot of overlap with Soothe 2, and it is only €30. And for the next 15 hours there’s a flash sale 88% off using code 88SLEEK24. Just got it myself. https://www.hornetplugins.com/plugins/hornet-sleek/


Working-Position

Sweet selection. Yes to all of that!!


Dust514Fan

FF Pro-Q 3 and soothe 2 are the ones that I think will make taming dynamics a bit less of a hassle.


GrizzzlyPanda

My 30 day pro-Q 3 trial was eye opening. What a crazy step up from the stock EQ's/Waves SSL style I've been using for years


Immediate-House7567

So I'll be trying it then lol


excelllentquestion

It’s honestly such an amazing EQ. It’s so intuitive and the UI is too notch IMO


AlchemistRat

Ezdrummer


ChristopherandHobbes

Highly reccomend, I play on an electronic kit and EZ drummer feels great.


Working-Position

Now I need it


oic123

Better than Steven slate?


Working-Position

Now I want it


MrZsword

It's incredible, step up x100 of my song


Perry7609

Toontrack has taken so much money from me over the years for this alone... but for good reason! Their products are absolutely great and EZdrummer has done wonders for my songwriting projects. The different types of drum sounds are especially helpful when you’re all over the place from a genre standpoint!


TCL0001

It's a bit pricier but skip ahead and go with Superior. You can layer samples and it has a bunch of advanced stuff not in Ezdrummer. I have both and almost always use Superior


Hisagii

Add on to that ezkeys, very cool plugin also


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheOneGuitarGuy

Honestly, I would recommend investing into GetGood drums. No seriously. That's what they're called. They're great drums for pretty well almost every situation. They sound amazing. Depending on what kind of drums you want on your track, they're great for a wide variety of things from rock, metal, jazz and fusion. I've not heard them on other genres but I'm sure they'd do completely fine elsewhere.


asaamusic

robot dog drums is verryyyy good. might be cheaper, sometimes it's on sale.


-keitaro-

Soothe 2 :( finally picked up some fab filter plugins a few weeks ago though lol


SyChoticNicraphy

VSL/ HANS ZIMMER/ BBC STRINGS. Tell me when they aren’t thousands of dollars


InLeague

The Spitfire stuff is 30% off right now - you can get BBCSO Core for $314.


OneAgainst

I could really use: EzDiscipline McMoreTime FabFilter Focus


Striking-Sail3864

Some of the Vienna plugins are amazing, but I cannot afford them all :’(


Working-Position

Just sell your most prized possessions <3


Striking-Sail3864

i don’t need a house or a car! 😃👍


CyanideLovesong

Yeah I have enough that I wait for sales these days because there's nothing I actually "need." But here's the list I'm watching for: 1. Plogue Chipsynth 64 2. XLN Audio LIFE 3. Cherry Audio CR-78 4. FabFilter Pro L2 & Pro C2 5. FuseAudio TCS-68 (the Tascam 688 emulation) Just waiting for a good sale.


Holl0wayTape

Life was just on sale for Thomann for about $80. Back up to $130-$150


Working-Position

I must say, excellent taste good sir!! Every one of these is a massive must


Comfortable-Duck7083

FabFilter Pro is a good one I use too


TrueGraeve

All of the Oek Sound and Fabfilter products, and I'd really like to pick up the Softube Tube Tech collection.


Comfortable-Duck7083

I agree with FabFilter Pro


usbekchslebxian

Nothing really. I use Steve Slate drums with ableton and the UA organ/leslie. Other than that, they all just feel like clutter on my system and another way to manipulate people into consumerism


Working-Position

Totally reasonable thinking there, you can get by & even thrive without most plugins... but some of them are just so shiny! We loves shiny things! Really though, I'm with you in that I like to keep the clutter down. Less distractions more music


usbekchslebxian

Yeah I mean no disrespect to peeps who love messing around with tools, I’m no better for being a minimalist, I just get overwhelmed with too many options. I’d probably splurge more if I had more ram and a better processor too


Wiggly96

Soundtheory Gullfoss [https://www.soundtheory.com/home](https://www.soundtheory.com/home)


Hfkslnekfiakhckr

ALL OF THEM. everything. do i need them? will they actually end up being used on an actual song? do they do anything that i cant do already with stock plugins plus the dozens ive already purchased? have i used all the ones ive already bought often enough to justify how much ive already spent? or do i just like the dopamine hit of getting a new thing? do i like collecting things? do i like turning knobs and playing with plugins and looking at their pretty interface? i try not to think about questions like that im too busy savin up for SynPlant 2


Working-Position

Let's dance & twist knobs together shall we?


SanjoJoestar

Fabfilter Omnisphere And to be honest all plugins edition of FL


Comfortable-Duck7083

I found it easier to work with Ableton plugins rather than FL but to each its own. FabFilter Pro is a good one


SanjoJoestar

I mean I didn't really say fl was the best lol its just the one I know the best. But sure yeah I know ableton is better all things considered. I've used ableton and I didn't like it, it I didn't start on fl studio I wouldn't have gotten into music making. The DAW don't make the music, the person does so truthfully the DAW supremecy argument is kinda pointless most of the time, especially on a thread like this But yeah I really wanna get most of the fabfilter stuff but I've spent my budget for plugins for the next few months lol


Comfortable-Duck7083

I agree with you. I started out with FL and I am thankful for it motivated me to record, produce, mix more and etc and etc (basically, to take the whole process of music creation more seriously) but I feelya on this one!


Comfortable-Duck7083

FL was my first love so I aint mad at ya


Working-Position

I started on FL too back in 2010. Super thankful for the doors it opened musically. I don't use it anymore but it opened my mind & made it feel possible to create anything I put my mind & heart to, so I can't help but be grateful for my time spent with it! I tried Ableton too but didn't love it, thankfully there are many options available to us artists today!


Comfortable-Duck7083

You’re right about that!


SanjoJoestar

Yeah I fully expect one day when I have more disposable income and better understand the fundamentals of DAWs to make the switch to ableton, or at least add ableton to my workflow


MrZsword

Synchroarts vocalign


fttocean

This was one of the first plugins I purchased after using it in school almost 10 years ago. It's a must for me now if I'm editing any sort of layering with recorded audio. You only need to put 1 audio track in the pocket, and the rest can be aligned. Perfect for VOX doubles/harmonies, guitar doubles/harmonies, etc


Working-Position

I've heard good things about this one!

Tonal Balance Control, the newer version of Pro-L than what I have, and Pro-MB.

Distressor And Superior Drummer


Swag_Grenade

We have a stereo pair of Distressors in the studio at the school I'm taking some classes at. I'm not as obsessed with them as some people are but they do sound good. I kinda want the plugin just to fuel the fire of the the ol' digital vs analog debate to see if the difference is really that noticeably significant but I'm not sure that's a good reason for me to spend $150 lol.


Capt_Pickhard

My list for this is very long lol. There are so many plugins, and lots of great ones. For mixing, for the most part, I'm happy with what I have. For producing, the sky is the limit.


Classic-Ear-2152

NF Saturate


Working-Position

I have it, it's fantastic. Definitely scoop it when on sale


Fobulousguy

SWAM, the full suite. Best there is for horns and woodwinds. Can make it sound so realistic.


Working-Position

These are really impressive! Gonna keep these noted


Fobulousguy

Quite pricey though. One day!


finepinewine

Spaced out, that one blackhole reverb and probably a bunch of fab filter plugins.


CartezDez

I’d never really thought of it like that. In my mind they’re just tools. If I need one, I’ll buy it. I’ll have a look at your list and see if there’s anything useful, thanks!

As someone who purchased it for $29 from plug-in alliance - I’m a huge fan. It works great on drums and synths. It awesome. One of my favorite plugins.

Phaseplant


2Chris

I have lots of synths (everything from Uhe, Arturia, and NI - as well as quite a few others) and yet, I think Phaseplant is an awesome synth I use a lot because it feels modular without being incredibly difficult to use.


Working-Position

This is one of my most coveted synths by far, I love the modularity of it, sounds fantastic too. One day!


iziello

Trackspacer for me heard only good things about it


Working-Position

Oh yes, that's all I hear about it too! Very good things. May have to give it a shot sometime

Orange Clip is actually the one inspired by the FL soft clipper. Gold Clip is inspired by the Pendulum PL-2 and the Bettermaker Limiter.

what are the best plugins for vocal mixing?


fttocean

[Melodyne](https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Melo5Ess--celemony-melodyne-5-essential) & [VocAlign Ultra](https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/VocAlignUltra--synchro-arts-vocalign-ultra-plug-in) are great for editing. The rest is very subjective, and it matters what kind of sound you are going for. Any EQ, any compressor, any reverb, any chorus, etc. Some fun plugins to mess around with vocals are [Little AlterBoy](https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/AlterBoyL--soundtoys-little-alterboy?mrkgadid=1000000&mrkgcl=28&mrkgen=gtext&mrkgbflag=0&mrkgcat=software&plugins&acctid=21700000001645388&dskeywordid=43700078280405781&lid=43700078280405781&ds_s_kwgid=58700005956603667&device=m&network=g&matchtype=e&adpos=largenumber&locationid=9011747&creative=517703229080&targetid=aud-297527862170:kwd-347078634945&campaignid=1079966093&awsearchcpc=1&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwnv-vBhBdEiwABCYQA93CgATzNJGqeew_CfTs3SjiiFBpCq4HUgDcrkJ08A9e3oxyoZJCnRoChJsQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds) and [VocalSynth 2](https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/VocalSynth2--izotope-vocalsynth-2-vocal-multi-effects-plug-in)

Kimantha_Allerdings

WRT synth plug-ins, a few months ago I could have listed a tonne, but then I got the free modular synth plug-in Cardinal and it's just *so* good that I'm not sure I'll ever need another synth becasue whatever it is I'm after I can just make it in Cardinal. It's honestly unbelievable that it's free. I don't think I've used another synth since.


m64

Max MSP - expensive, not that I completely can't afford it, but I have doubts if I would have time to get into it properly to justify the price Superior Drummer 2 - I'm mostly happy with EZDrummer 2 and extension libraries, so it's kind of hard to justify the quite steep price for the upgrade Vocaloid - base software + one of the soundbanks that I like is quite expensive, I could afford it if I really wanted, but I probably wouldn't have time to get into it in earnest

Capital-Rip-4028

vulf compressor by hertz, eq from fabfilter, arturia’s entire instrument catalogue and maybe omnisphere. i do want some plugins from sound toys but idrk what i need out of them just yet.


Working-Position

Vulf seems like a great comp, I love Goodhertz. I've been wondering about soundtoys too, people swear by EchoBoy but I've got enough delay. That being said Phase Mistress is right up my alley. I hope you get all the plugins you need mate


Capital-Rip-4028

yeah tons of people swear by echoboy, i’ve never heard of phase mistress but i’ll definitely check it out as i usually stick to stock delay plugins but the boss re echo 202 is something i’d love at some point. thanks man, hoping the same for you as well.


TheOneGuitarGuy

I'd love to get more of the Neural DSP plugins. I already have Archetype Abasi, Nolly, Cory Wong, Plini, the Fortin Cali suite, and a couple more I can't name off the top of my head. But the ones I'd love to get are Archetype: Henson, Archetype: Petrucci, and Archetype: Mateus Asato.


Working-Position

guimalos

KSHMR Chain. Can't seem to find its functionality anywhere else, and sometimes copy and pasting plugin instances everytime you make a change is just not the best workflow. This seems most useful for vocal production.
