tags: #publish links: [[Music Production Resources]], created: 2021-11-11 Thu --- # DAW Plugins ## Synthesizers - [[Serum synth]] - my current focus - [[Diva analogue-simulator synth]] - Helm: (donorware) https://tytel.org/helm/ - Crystal: https://www.greenoak.com/crystal/about.html - Dexed (FM synth based on Yamaha DX7): https://asb2m10.github.io/dexed/ - Spectrasonics Omnisphere - The big guns. Used for hiphop and house especially. Main attraction is the massive library - awesome but very expensive - 2.4Ghz plus? can't run? - 64Gb disk space - [big '80s-style preset collection by BT](https://www.musicradar.com/news/this-pack-of-80s-style-presets-for-omnisphere-2-was-created-by-electronic-pioneer-bt) ### Drums - Toontrack EZDrummer & Superior Drummer are one of the bigger names here. - [[DrumSpillage]] - an interesting (old, unmaintained) drum synth. ## FX - Fabfilter Pro-Q 3 https://www.fabfilter.com/products/pro-q-3-equalizer-plug-in - a high quality EQ/filter plugin, ~$179 USD (same company also sells reverb, limiter, compresser, gate etc)
