absolutely V-station, why? i use it for all my b-lines!
all waves plugs; because they are the best for mastering, filtering ... perfect sound, easy to use. real quality!
Antares Tube; best distortion there is!
Ohmforce Ohmboyz, need a delay? this is the one for sure!! wikkid effects inside!
Synapse junglist... no need to say more!
Akai Quadcomp, good compressor but uses a lot of memory.
and as last: TC native bundle 3; wikkid master & effect plugs!

That TC bundle disappointed me a lot, the guys at work bought it for Protools, but they're not very usable I think... When I use them they sound good when soloing a track, but afterwards always when I wonder why something sounds weird it's always solved by bypassing the TC effects. That voice channel is just crap, and the Master-X always sounds too aggressive. The reverb is the only one I think is OK, but I've got better reverbs here Wink

I don't know if these are available for VST as well (probably they are Big Grin

) but I really like these ones:
- Maxbass
- Bombfactory LA2A
- Drawmer gate/compressor
- Renaissance Reverb
- Enigma (wicked Big Grin

)

Ok without a doubt, the standard fruity compressor combined with the Akai Quad compressor.

Also, Rotator is excellent for using over hats and perc.

Kontakt, nice for making tearing bass and synthlines that bit cleaner.

I agree, Vstation is a 'beust of a vst, probably the most useful synth apart from the Moog moduar.

i'd have to follow up with most of you:
antares tube, ohmboyz or the waves supertaps for delays, PSP vintagewarmer, let's see, the other ohm plugs: mobilohm for phasing and quadfrohmage for filtering(a bit too much but it's the only *decent* filter i have) waves C1 for compression and the fruity equaliser since i can't make the waves ones stereo :s

i used to be very fond of the Buzz machines, but they crashed my fruity too often, so i stay away from them now Evil

errm, then there's kontakt and battery, synthwise: z3ta, junglist, slayer and junoX2

and that's about it Big Grin

, only thing i'd really want now is a simple and effective filter...

Yes, Akai quadcomp is a very profi sounding dll.

For me, absolutely the best is Synth1.....really. Superb sound, easy creating of patches, and it is free!!!
Than superwave p8, Albino, Taupro, and for individual instruments classic compressor

Synths---
I like NI Absyth for atmospheres and noises
NI FM7, PRO-53 for noises and leads.
Steinberg Plex is da sh!t for backgrounds and atmos as well.
Edirol Orkestral is bomb for any classical instrument you may need, it sounds like the orchestra is in your studio.
NI vokator is sick for all sorts of sampling stuff if you can figure it out.

Plugins-
the mda and ohmboyz standard plugs are nice.
Nobody mentioned the Skidder either, thats a pretty good one for vocal samples. I like a lot of the plugs that come with fruity stock as well, like the granulizer, and blood overdrive, plus the basic reverbs, chorus, echo n stuff.

my favorite is PlastiCZ,
when you randomize it it always seems to make a good sound. and when your making a sample CD you need that if you wanna work fast and are out of ideas. also its easy on the PC so you can use a whole bunch at once and get some realy deep sound.

EDIT: favorite effect,
well its the reverb, my simple good old fruity reverb.
im so usedto it and its decent quality and reverb is
like the most important effect, either that or peremetric EQ... its a toss up between the two.

Wow, i was feeling pritty bad there 10/18/2004, but when a person is under an emotional extream error is sure to soon fallow.

slayer is definitely cool...sounds like a real guitar...
but has a lot of other sounds.........

v-station is cool for bass and hard leads....
orion...not really just a plugin...but synapse makes a
plugin for orion called junglist...which you can rewire
cubase...has a lot of good bass sounds....more old
skool sounding.

albino seems cool...just haven`t figured it out yet...
most of the factory sounds suck ass but you can make really good hoovers with it...

VST'S: b4 organ, kontact, sample tank, slayer, & the v-station... also, synapse's junglist is now called hydra and yes u can use it with fruity loops... any vst can open in fruity... go to options/MIDI settings/then click on file(the floppy disk icon) and import whatever vst u have on ur computer into its directory...
