“What Can They Do For YOU?” Vst Plugins are essential tools for (sound effects producers/music producers), who use a pc (Personal computer or Macintosh) based virtual SFX/music studio. (When I refer to pc. I mean pc or mac. As a Macintosh is a personal computer also).  Plugins are virtual music instruments (Vsti`s), or effects software (Vst Fx). These are loaded (plugged) into a host program such as Cubase Vst or Pro Tools. Also known as Daw (digital audio workstation).

These include  • Vst instruments • Vst effects • Vst midi effects Vst effects and instruments are quite easy to learn and use. They rely on vst (virtual studio technology) to work. Many software and hardware equipment manufacturer`s support vst, and obtain a license from Steinberg (German producer of musical software and equipment) to build their devices around the technology.  Hear what VST plugins sound like in action. Vst plugins save you time because they are digital.  I like the fact that plugins allow you to save pre-sets, (a saved set of the controls that you have adjusted).

Move sliders, turn knobs and press switches, then save it as a pre-set that you can name. Then later Magically recall these exact settings by clicking on your pre-set from the list. “Wow Every button, switch, dial and slider just went back to exactly the way I had them set earlier”. This trick allows you to switch projects mid-way through, go back later and start again exactly where you left off, with total/instant recall of all settings.  “Imagine the possibilities and the time you save.”  The pre-sets can be saved individually, or as a bank (multiple pre-sets stored in a list), using very little memory. Total/instant recall can also be achieved in digital hardware (exdigital mixing consoles with motorized faders).

When I am working with Vst plugins I like being able to change the order of them in the host program. Here is an example. “Vst instruments and effects save you money”.   Vst Plugins are much cheaper than their hardware equivalent. This is because they are cost effective to produce as they are digital clones of the original produced software, and there are no moving parts, just software coded instructions that tell a computer processor what to do. Heck  You can even get good quality free vst plugins. Also A lot of plugins are original (designed from scratch and not based on an original hardware device).

This means expensive tests to try and get the exact sonic signature of the original hardware device is not required. Although a lot of work still goes into making them, the cost is offset by mass production.

There are exceptions though High end VST plugins such as Waves plugins, from Waves Audio (professional audio effects developer), can cost several hundred each. However, if your budget allows it, you will not be disappointed.

These are top notch, with a stunning sonic quality that will leave you speechless. I use several waves plugins. They are easy to use and all sound incredible. “Highly recommended”.

They are easy got hold of (downloads etc.).

“Save some space”. They will only ever take up the space of your computer and monitor. And if they do come on a disk, once you load it on to your pc/mac, you can put the disk bye, instead of trying to find space for physical hardware. What the heck Cd`s are small and light.

You could store hundreds or even thousands of them. This would only be possible with hardware if you owned a large warehouse. Now “I`m not getting into a Software verses hardware battle here”. I like and use both.   Advantages over hardware.
