I thought it might be fun for us to share the top 3 AUv3 plugins we (currently) can't live without, and use in almost every project.
My (curent) top 3 is:
- FAC Chorus (FX)
- Poison-202 (Synth)
- Rough Rider (FX) FREE
AUv3s only please, and you only get to pick 3!
Comments
Zeeon. (Synth)
Maxima. (Fx)
Fac Chorus. (Fx)
Thanks @Audiogus
FAC Chorus is like my secret sauce. It makes everything just taste sound better
..so on this basis I should probably get Maxima and give it a spin
I do love Zeeon, but just don't find it as essential in the music I am making at the moment (it's still in my top 10)
p.s. FAC stands for Fred Anton Corvest, the developer of FAC Chorus and FAC Maxima
Tried to make a list, there isn't even one i couldn't live without.
in that case, just list the 3 you use most frequently.
Your 'go to' plugins for every project
Lo-Fly Dirt - punchy drums
Rough Rider- easy to work compression
QuatroMod- my fab chorus sound so far
Pretty sure that phrase was being used for dramatic effect.
To me Maxima is amazing in it's simple effectiveness. I dare not rave too highly about it though as 'thar be pro's in these waters' but I find it to be a wonderful big red shiny 'make tracks better now' button.
Currently making down tempo dork surrealism so Zeeon works great!
I am naming my first born FAC.
No i literally mean i don't really rate AUv3 plugins that highly.
There are some amazing synths but i am a samplist and there is no better sampler than Beatmakers built in.
I love the idea of AU MIDI plugins, but because they simply don't work at all yet unless you render them to MIDI, then I can't really count those.
Every effect i have tried has been on par or worse than Beatmakers built in, other than dynamics which is totally .....be polite be polite..... not that great in Beatmaker, so i should probably buy Maxima, his chorus is nice enough.
FAC Chorus
Bram Bos - Rozetta Sequencer Suite
Audio Damage Discord 4
Yes I know Discord 4 is brand spanking new, BUT I definately like what I am hearing when using it ( especially on Future Drummer and Axon2 )
FAC Maxima is a must as well but you were only asking for 3 🙃
Got some BDay money and looking forward to getting it tomorrow. I am thinking I may get PPG Infinite to go with it too.
Happy BDay...
@brambos has a new AUv3 going to hit the Apple Store any time now, might want to save some of that BDay cash until then 🤔
Since I’m broke I don’t have many yet and I’m very selective to my tools. I don’t just buy them all. Usually on a use case scenario.
Right now these are:
Brusfi by KLEVGRAND (cleans up field recordings and a lot more)
VirtualRoom AU (this is a secret beast not just binaural stuff)
KQDixie (Because I never played with a DX7 and patches are all over the web and FM Synthesis is a great choice for sound design)
I would have added so many more, but three is the limit.
I am more into synths :
Zeeon
ISem
Poison 202
Oh yah, thanks for the reminder on VirtualRoomAU, been meaning to get it, whoot!
AU Host
BM3
Aum
Cubasis
AU Instruments
iSEM
mood
Ripplemaker
AU Effects
QuatroMod
frekvens
FoldR
Hmmmm, Foldr (or Wavefolder) seems interesting... may just add that to todays bingeday.
Zeeon
Ripplemaker
FAC chorus/maxima
I like wavefolder and try to use it a lot, still learning, and I’ve been using FAC Maximus on every track since finally picking it up, and I love Rozeta but I need to use it more
I use it on both.
Poison ☠️
TF7
NaVi 🧚🏼♀️... haha.....Listen
Oval or crystal synth
