I actually agree with what the guy was saying in the video. Ever since I switched to only using plugins that I bought and paid for I have found that I have a deeper understanding of what my plugins do and how to use them.
I completely agree about this. On a side tangent, melodic 1-shots are also completely underrated and if you’re more of a preset guy than a sound designer you don’t even need plugins. 1. Samples are way less CPU intensive 2. You can demo sounds faster than waiting for presets to load 3. Good 1-shots are going to use the best presets from the best VSTs anyways and you can get 1-shot packs for free
I bought a new cheap ass mini computer for my spare bedroom. I installed Renoise, Sylenth1, and Surge, and Amigo. Called it a motherfucking day. My main rig now. No ragrets.
When I started computer music I downloaded more than 400 free synths. I surely deleted them all. I probably liked about 15 of them. And the Russian ones always got flagged as viruses. Windows hate Russia. It's not big sacrifice to delete free plugins. But the concept "les is more is not bad. I use one EQ for example. Try to stick to as little as possible synths. Some synths have about everything in them including EQ so yeah. I can make entire song with just one plugin and the better I understand it the less I need to reach for other. This is why "more is less" can mean something.
Definitely agree with less is more. I spent many years using only a few vsts that worked with my sound. I made so many cool tracks with them. Then I bought arturia v collection and 6 months later I got komplete 13. Had to take a back seat and relearn the "vibe" of each synth. 3 years later I kind of have a grasp but I miss the days when I had a handful of vsts.
Same. I barely use my synths nowadays. After getting into cardinal, I basically make all my sounds from scratch now. Except the ideas I try to pump. Those are mostly sample based, if I have an idea I end up liking, I'll go ahead and recreate in cardinal.
@aezakmi047 I didn't mean cracked. I've tried those too just to see if I am going to stick to them. If I felt like making sounds with them I would buy them.I ment free as offered for free by the developer. There is very few free ones that I would feel like touching. Since I started using only FL Studio plugins I feel much better mentally 🙂
@PysterBeats I pretty much went trough Komplete and Arturia software myself. And in the end I may use guitar Rig sometimes for bass cabinet simulation. I just don't desire to get bogged into all this. I used some synth from Komplete that was fun. I think it was Prism or something. And Massive too. I learned Massive probably better than any other synth and I almost never reach for it. It can sound okey after few extra steps of adding noise LFO to the oscilators. I couldn't come up with that. I saw it on RUclips video.
Piano was probably not a great example here, because different piano brands often sound quite different, and then we haven't even talked about different kinds of pianos. Just as an example, the two sampled pianos he shows are a Steinway D and a customized Yamaha CFX, which sound different from each other. It's the same reason why a guitarist who already owns a Fender Strat, might want to buy something like a Les Paul, because it'll sound different, and for real instruments also play different. Just use what you like, who tf cares how many plugins you have.
I know my plugs inside and out... some are free, many of them are very expensive tools...bought with a strong knowledge and confidence of what I need and what I using them for..... some are drawn for more than others.... others rarely used, but I'm pleased to have them for when I need them. The video is ultimately wank. As for free vs payed, baby Audios magic switch is cool and I use it often, but I also have Sonig ACE.. which is 100dollars worth of Chorus, and it's worth the investment as its the only, chorus widener I will ever need.
Lol, I did this years ago. I had 500 premium plug-ins from a friend. I deleted them all. Absolutely no regrets. I learn how to do mix in a small club with a shitty Behringer PA and a mixer that didn't work properly hooked in the backstore. Fast forward now, we got a 5K PA with satellites so 6 speakers total and well over 900 shows and that's how I learned how to mix.
There's a musician who talked about this(Code:Pandorum/Inhuman) too. He basically said it comes down to functionality and workflow. Choose specific plugins that serves the purpose it does and are efficient in terms of time(this slightly might be different from person to person). He mentions this because too many plugins means paralysis of choices, you also want to learn your plugins fully, and lastly certain plugins in combination can help you have a specific style of sound- especially if utilized across the project. For ex. the kind of textures you're gonna get from Trash 2 is different from Ohmicide.
I like having way too many plugins. I have tons of free and paid plugins. So many that I forget about some of them. I just don't fret about it. Generally or in the DAW. I don't get anxious about trying to pick the correct version of any instrument or effect. I just pick one mostly at random. It's fun and surprising. It's like having a little Cave of Wonders to dip in to. Same with my ridiculous sample library. Also, some of my most used plugins are freebies to be fair. Keeping your ear to the ground to to get a hold of them is definitely valuable.
I see this type of argument all the time... "oh delete it all, you can´t make music with all this clutter", some go so far to suggest "dawless" as the ultimate form of "back to the good old day´s limitations" Bs... in the end, it is just some people having issues with procrastinating too much and not getting sh!t done as they browse through all their stuff all the time. They try to project their failures to sort, catalog, mark favorites, and be more focused and onto everybody else... I can understand the appeal of hardware in the process but I can still keep my DAW and all the things I need on hand without losing focus. Everytime I dive into my catalog of effects, VSTs, or even presets, I make sure to keep my handy dandy notebook and make notes of what I can use for what in the future or mark as a favorite in special folders.
Have not hit play on the video yet , but the fact that I just discovered you can drop samples into xfer serum's noise selection and play said sample has me not planning on buying another vst synth for a good long time.
Tbh there were only four people when i started making music who even commented back and offered to help and that was you Weaver, DixonBeats, Doswell Beats and Ave Mcree. He's actually a friend of mine and that is hard to come by in todays world but yes his thumbnails are super duper cringe 😂
I stopped using and un-installed Native Instruments Komplete, I had used it for years and found the massive library of sounds needed to be cleared and replaced. In my mind I wanted the Native Instruments Midi Keyboard so I can access my N.I sound banks best, however I could not afford this and that was eating at me, then I read all these complaints about N.I not loading their sound banks properly and I know the N.I support is not good, so I gave up on the product all together. Don't delete all your VSTS people.
He does have a point about being overwhelmed, and that’s true of paid and free. Main thing is there is so much out there. He should have taken his “stop and think” before he went nuts.
The TV example is not a good one. Maybe compare VSTs to tools. Maybe certain tools have advantages to others. Might be worth using one for a job as opposed to another for a different job for how the tools were made? A TV, turn it on, watch something, turn it off lolz.
i have a lot of plugins and what i'm doing is categorizing them in google spreadsheets for all my mixing plugins in one spot all organized with video tutorial link for each ones if i need references. same with my fx plugins all organized.. then my kontakt stuff and other vst instruments , and then i went further and made more google spreadsheets based on genres i'm working on where i list the intruments plugins and kontakt libraries i will be using on those type of projects. .. i go even further and a few libraries i use the most i wrote down every kontakt snapshot and made a little note about each sound. i put * symbol or ** beside ones i will use the most. This is for Kontakt stuff, for Vital and other stuff i just know all the presets i made well already. it took some time but worth it. I still havve to do this for 3 more plugins like Aparillo synth is crazy , it's hard to remember all the crazy stuff you can do with it. I will make notes for the presets on that too, you can tweak sounds so quick on that thing it's nuts, it is not comparable to vital or serum at all, it's hecking weird, that's why i like it. it makes insane cinematic sounds and crazy fx.
I have thousands of vst and vsti from windows XP up to windows 11 and I use audiogridder which is a free non trash plugin to use them all on my Mac in logic. I don’t hardly use most of them but since they are offloaded on to old mini pc’s if I ever need something or looking am for something specific I can pull it up at anytime and not have all of them on my main computer
But I like swimming plugins. I might have about two thousand, probably. Renoise has decent organizing options for VSTs: Folders, hiding, favorites. I have a handful of goto's on top, but occasionally I just grab something from the pile for fun.
Meeeeeeeeeeeeh, I started recording/mixing some stuff almost 15 years ago. There are quite a lot of great free plugins out there ! I mean, it happened that I've bought stuff and went back to the free plugins I was using before. :') Like Molot might be the plugin I've used for the longest time, and I can't think of a paid plugin that sounds like it :)
Odin2 is my favorite free plugin. Probably the only free plugin I may reach for right now. One by Kilohearts isn't bad but it eats my CPU. GR8 also sounds good. It's a little limiting. That's 3 free ones that actually soud good. Warmverb by Tone2 is close to free with discount. It has cool sounding effects. But it it's a lot of CPU. Have to use it sparingly. Bottom line-there is some good ones sometimes but the hassle of trying them all. I wouldn't want to go trough that anymore. In the past few years I have used almost entirely FL studio synths.
@veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I sent you a little demo with Odin2. The chords, the bass and the exotic melody in the second part are all made with Odin2. The white noise rhythmic elements in the second part are also Odin2. I personally like like how easy is to get analog emulation out of it. It's pretty straight forward synth with pretty much zero learning curve. If you need to get something done fast and get those cinematic synth sounds it's pretty good. Modulation matrix is pretty ordinary. Not as complex as Harmor or Sytrus where you can draw crazy curves. It has effects . The delay can do 2 tempo synchronized things going in the same time which I find very useful for creating rhythmic elements. And it doesn't hurt the wallet or the CPU unlike Diva. There is also variety of filters. You can technically draw waves and LFOs in it but it's not as obvious and easy as Harmor. That's somewhat short description of what it can do🙂 ruclips.net/video/fcog0iVpt6Q/видео.htmlsi=SqFLbcxb9KS4VTyR
@@aspirativemusicproduction2135 oooOOoh, thanks for the info and demo! That's very interesting about the double sync delay, i've never seen a device with that. Sounds like it'd be good for drums too, which i love to synthesize from scratch. Love the custom lfo waves too. cool demo. that part that comes in after the 1st minute is sick; more up my alley.
@veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Thanks! This music was on my computer unfinished for years. And finally there was a sound that fits so well with it. And it's not some crazy sound design. Well exept that part when the synth is playing with all the oscilators. But it's so easy to get good sound out of Odin just with minimal work. And the delay is sick. It's very good for percussion. 🙂
Piano plugin is a bit of weird example for him to use, because there are a load of piano plugins that really sound very different to each other. What he's saying makes a lot more sense for things like compressor plugins though, you really don't need a hundred different compressors.
I was at a University where they had all of the Native Instruments Midi Keyboards set up on Imac, they didn't have any Vsts installed, so I just used Abletons Stock Sounds to make a beat and challenged myself to only use stock stuff, the garbage sounded like a Super Mario Kart beat, the stock sounds imo are thin and lifeless and to change that I feel like you must have VSTS. It's ok to use 1 or 2 stock sounds but I find they end up getting lost in the mix. There's no balls to the stock sound, unlike Reason where it has a 5Gig Stock sound library and you can use that for years and still be amazed, you get so many great stock effects too, not hating on Native Instruments and Ableton, In fact I own many Native Instruments products and spent over $4000 easy on their stuff.
I have a lot, but I’ve found ways of combating the “analysis paralysis”. For instance, I can create rules where I can use only these plugins (or inversely, use anything *but* these ones). If I am satisfied with a result, I move on. Otherwise, I keep going until I am satisfied. I find that it’s OK if you have multiple effects ones because they can be quite from each other.

I watched the original video (because the clickbait got me) and quickly realized how dumb it was. I do generally reach for the same plugins for certain tasks but, if I don't know what I want, I just pick one and either it works for me or helps me realize what I want. These are mostly made-up problems.
As long as you know why you bought specific vst’s, what you use them for and why, it really doesn’t matter how many you have and it can actually improve your workflow. The dude making this video might as well just uninstall himself, by his own logic…
I only trust a couple people on RUclips for the plug sauce and that’s the guy wit the black bunny mask and Au5. Everyone else is just shilling stuff you could figure out stock in your daw.
Yeah but if you “try” a subscription it loads all their stuff in your folder. THAT SUCKS. Yeah. But you do need to find your sound and the UI:UX that you like. So folks need slack. And yeah this video is a bit meh to me.
I mix full time and enjoy experimenting about 10% of the time with different plugins. I learn something about it add it to the usual tool box. None of these issues really exist. Silly video.
I am sorry. Shoulda stopped this earlier. But Re: paid/free I think you need an open mind. For example some vsts are free only for certain promo things. Also as free sells, the Vital model is not bad. Basically a nice plug in and free but the free version just doesn’t have as much content.
That guy will reach places in production where he needs a plugin he deleted. Installing it will affect his flow. I think his real problem is how poorly FL plugins are organized. That’s honestly one of the main reasons I left FL and went to Logic.

There are 1 million LA-2A plugins but only 2 CL1B plugins. Why? Lol
marketing xD
8:02 is that pirates Studio ? LOL 🤣
Instructions unclear : Now my PC won't boot !!! thanks :)
I use oneshot sounds and stock ableton plugins...i tend not to overthink when producing for me...
I did it. Best thing ever!
"speak for yoself pal"😎
Bro is not worried at all about Dame
Basically he's a VST hoarder. Will he be able to stay VST sober or will he go on a Free VST binge in 2 weeks. Stay tuned.
I always delete VST and VST3 (if installer did not allow me to deselect those) AU only for me
Content creation hellscape
I only trust a couple people on RUclips for the plug sauce and that’s the guy wit the black bunny mask and Au5. Everyone else is just shilling stuff you could figure out stock in your daw.
Bro vital is koo it's a keeper
weaver sounding like AP
How and why does anyone want to load their computer with VST's. You need to audition for Hoarders?
it can be fun collecting and organizing into custom menus (ableton Live Enhancement Suite). That is, until it comes time to use them :)
I'm addicted to stuff with dials and switches. Playing with all these VSTs and see what they do is fun. I don't even like making music.
@@veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee LES helps so much with organising them all, avoiding breaking the creative flow.
@@veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Just go hardware
@@brokko_le3 that's awkward
lol all EQ's and compressors are certainly not the same
He is WAY over thinking this. 80% this video is redundant... Mooosic? Glad I'm not the only one who heard that LOL
the best free plugins are the ones that were previously paid than later made free (i.e. Valhalla)
yep ;)
He wasn't browsing his plugins, he was browsing individual presets... of course that's going to be huge. Twit
Air Windows plugins are fantastic and use virtually no space…
a free plugin called GLAZE lmfao
Yeah but if you “try” a subscription it loads all their stuff in your folder. THAT SUCKS. Yeah. But you do need to find your sound and the UI:UX that you like. So folks need slack.
And yeah this video is a bit meh to me.
that comment was a big bit meh. like, why even? for wha? no, meh. ye
Its necessary because he needs the space for cod 😢
I mix full time and enjoy experimenting about 10% of the time with different plugins. I learn something about it add it to the usual tool box. None of these issues really exist. Silly video.
Maybe you should say that you haven't even tested 99.9% of the free plugins.
Would be faster not to use them
hes got too many plugins, but hes making some good points.
I am sorry. Shoulda stopped this earlier.
But Re: paid/free I think you need an open mind. For example some vsts are free only for certain promo things. Also as free sells, the Vital model is not bad. Basically a nice plug in and free but the free version just doesn’t have as much content.
Surge XT is also one of my favs and very free

Kids Don't Do Drugs OK 😂 😂 just don't
That guy will reach places in production where he needs a plugin he deleted. Installing it will affect his flow. I think his real problem is how poorly FL plugins are organized. That’s honestly one of the main reasons I left FL and went to Logic.
haha ableton Live Enhancement Suite is where it's at! (LES)
