I see people keep asking for software & plugin recommendations. Let's make a master list with all the ones we think kick ass. Yes, we can go to KVR, but lots of them are garbage or don't pertain to our kind of work.

I'll keep updating the list with the ones you guys keep adding. I'll add little stars to the ones that are more popular. Let me know of any other categories I missed or you guys want added.

I'll start.

ReFX's z3ta, Steinberg's Hypersonic and Spectrasonic's Omnisphere, Trillian and Stylus seem pretty popular around here too, I'd add those.

Nice list

koo thx... I added Trillian & Omnisphere. I dunno what category I should add Hypersonic under, and I can't find a website for z3ta as I dunno much about it.

That list could get huge rather quickly. I suggest a few things:

- leave version numbers off because, at the rate they change, you will either have to update the thread pretty regularly, or it will look outdated.

- decide whether or not you want to list bundles or individual plugins, particularly under effects. Waves and UAD alone could make the list extend for miles if people start listing their individual favorite plugins.

Also, rather than list all of mine here, you can just go to:

http://www.cryophonik.com/studio.html

I've got a pretty big list of soft synths, effects, and sample packs listed there - that should keep you busy for a while DJWoody!

You have an extremely old version of Logic listed. Version 5 is several years old. You should consider updating your information.

That's exactly why I suggested leaving version numbers off - people can just click on the link to the developer's website to find out about the latest version.

Yea, I was thinking the same... hmmm

Pro53 is discontinued afaik

Pro53 is discontinued. But it was available up until a few months back. That's why I added. But at the end, Pro53 is the same as Arturia's Prophet.

I took out the version numbers, and added Cryphonic's additions.

Keep them coming. Specially the Reverbs, Compressors, & Processors as that is something that does interest me. lol

In sequencers, Sonar's missing. And Propellerhead Reason and Record.

In Synths you can add Alchemy from Camel Audio, MS20, Polysix, M1 and Wavestation from Korg. You can also add Cakewalk Rapture, AAS Strum Acoustic and Electric GS-1, Ableton Operator, Sampler.

Voice Processors: Celemony Melodyne, zplane Vielklang.

Reverbs: Audio Ease Altiverb.

Also a treatment plug-ins section is missing: you can add PSP plugins, Audio Ease Speakerphone, Sugar Bytes Effectrix, and Audio Damage plug-ins are a bonus. Ohm Force plugins are just amazing too.

In drums you can add Guru and RMV.

You forgot Kontakt 4 and Absynth 5?!? And Reaktor?!?

Oh, and eventually we could add Kore Player and UVI Workstation?

Just my 2 cents.

All the Sonnox Plug-ins should be worth mentioning, as for Flux, Waves, Wave Arts, UAD, Powercore, LiquidMix. I'm also a fan of all of Brainworx's mastering plug-ins.
