We have some new guides coming along that specifically target the ‘types’ of virtual instruments available at our fingertips.
The Most Popular Types of VST Instruments If you wanted some simpler solutions or “free” VST’s, we’re still working on those lists so you’ll have to stay tuned. We still think these are the best of the best VST software as a whole(hence the article title). We welcome criticism so let us know your opinions on this - we see some scrutiny that only “expensive” and “bundles” in here.
However, we made sure they were all top-notch and well worth the look. Considering MusicRadar chose 50 of the best VST plug-ins, our 10 is very constrained. We can’t tell you how difficult it was choosing only 10, especially with some of our picks being complete ‘bundles’ as opposed to a single instrument\collection. If you’ve read our best music production equipment article, VST’s are crucial if you need to pair up your external controllers with some sounds. If you’re making beats or just creating music in general, virtual instruments need to be in your toolbox. Many even allow you to tweak the sounds they give you to basically create your own sound just like a hardware synth. As opposed to some who prefer a real synthesizer, drum machine, or merely a real drum set, the VST alternative gives you some powerful options when going digital as opposed to analog, helping you save money, time and ultimately, easier workflow. The possibilities are pretty endless and what’s even better is how real these things sound - nowadays most of your favorite songs use VST’s and you wouldn’t be able to tell. Whether it’s a simple piano tone or a wobbly dub step bass synth, you can have it. They’re the colors of the paint for your canvas, and some of these things come with thousands of sounds to choose from (for a price, of course). VST literally stands for Virtual Studio Technology. It’s a computer software interface that contains the sounds, effects and editors that your MIDI controllers use to create music. Basically, we can choose our canvas and which colors we want to paint with using software, making the possibilities pretty endless if you ask us.
Instead, MIDI keyboards as well as other programmable controllers with pads, knobs and faders can be tweaked and customized via a computer using a program or two. With the incorporation and growth of digital audio technology, we now have keyboards and other external pieces of audio equipment that come as blank slates without any built-in sounds or effects to work with. Nowadays, there are a lot more possibilities when it comes to creating music for the world to hear as compared to even 10 years ago.
