instruments:
v-station
korg legacy collection
nexus
fm8
effects:
wavearts masterverb, trackplug, multidynamics & final plug
basslane
camelspace
camelphat
schwa spectro < Probably the coolest plugin I have, I don't think anything else like it exists? It shows you the frequency graph, synced to the host transport, and allows you to edit frequencies across time by drawing in little boxes. For example, if there is a bell sound at "30 seconds" that you dont like, you can go to 30 seconds in spectro, draw a box around the sound and mute it or adjust the gain.

Superwave P8
V-Station
FM8 - or something like it (I use Linplug's Octopus)
I still use my Vanguard, I find it suitable... the Nexus seems to be all the rave, and you might want to fork out the extra for that instead if the demo suits you better.
Pro-53 (I only have a demo, and I would purchase this baby for CPU effeciency alone). |

| i agree with korg legacy collection, polysix and ms 20 are very good. |

For me:
Native instruments Komplete for synths
sonalksis and IK multimedia for effects
A lot of people used to use Z3ta, but I think its a bit passed its time now... also has no mac support which is its greatest weakness... Great synth though:)
Rapture and dimension were supposed to be the next big thing, but not that many people seem to use them still I think..? Oh, and camelspace is not really essential at all, its a bit gimmicky.
Waves are used by a lot of people but I don't like them, Rob Papens Albino is also considered a must have by a lot of people, but I don't use it much these days. ReFX synths are controversial on the whole, a lot of people say vanguard is awful, others say it is aweworthy:p
The main effects used in trance are delays reverbs, EQs, compressors, phasers, chorus and flange. If you have them then your probably set. |

For me it all depends on the music genre that you want to produce your music as.
For Trance:
V-Station
Z3TA+
Hypersonic 2
Sampletank XXL
Rapture
FX
PSP Vintage Warmer
Izotope Ozone 3.0
Waves L2
========
For downtempo:
Synths:
Absynth 3 (or 4)
Hypersonic 2
Dimension
Sampletank XXL |

Well for synths it's
sylenth1 - Va Sounds
New synth from tone 2 - To cover mostly non va sounds & sound design
Ross Baker Supersaw v2 emb for Reaktor - All Supersaw Sounds
Access Virus - Not really used to much however for the trance I like most ( Think Gatecrasher 2001 eg Disco Tech Generation Album ) it's sound is just spot on.
Also have v station and vanguard. Not my go to synths anymore but I've spent a lot of time with them and both have their merits and I know them inside out.
V Station has a great sound but the 8 note poly really ruins it for me. Vanguards down fall for most is also it's greatest strength for me as that metallic sound is great for saw pads.
Effects - URS!!! Only personal onion but I prefer to waves.
Romplers - Couldn't work with Nexus but I have plenty of others and more to come over the next few months from east west & bela d.
What I'm really after at the mo is a decent standalone Chorus |
