The track in the making recreates style of famous group Nu-NRG. This involves massive use of supersaw, so Sylenth1 plays there almost solo, supported with Operator as general-purpose synth.
Other synths serve as single instances and I plan to get rid of them altogether. I also use free samples for percussion and background FX.
As to effects, Ableton suite covers pretty much all I need. Phase AP1 is the only 3rd party plugin I use in more than one instance.
In general, I try to cut down my plugins list as short as possible. Already abandoned Nexus. I will replace Sylenth1 with Dune2, replace Vanguard with Serum, give up Blue2 and that would be it.

Live 9, my current starting template features Bazzism, Zebra and Vanguard (I'm in Psytrance/Psychill mode lately).
Vengeance Electro Shock 1 (best Vengeance Pack IMHO) covers all my clap/snare/hats needs.
Camelspace on every track I make (love that thing, works so well for Oldskool-Goa).
For Deep House I love Lounge Lizard 4 and B4.
On my 2Bus: EQ8, The Glue, Pro-L, Span, Magic A/B (incredible useful for me).
Ableton stock plugins.
When I think about it, I wouldn't ever need more...

After about 2 months, it is almost the same! Good! it means I'm finally settledEnGee wrote:Notion 4 with my Casio DP. This is the most I used for the last few months.
Anyway, for a DAW and soft synths, the most I used last week (except today which mostly I used Reason):
Sonar as a DAW,
Reaktor (the ensembles included with it), Razor, Massive, FM8, Korg Mono/Poly, Padshop Pro and Retrologue.
Session Drummer mostly for Acoustic Drums.
Oh and TB Track Essentials (especially EQ and Compressor) and Nomad Factory Blue effects.
The only difference is instead of Reaktor, Razor, Massive, FM8 (I sold all of them) I have now Air Instruments Expansion Pack and NI Battery, oh and Sonar X3 Producer upgrade with all the wonderful addons

Live 9
I try to use one synth or two at a time. My last track was an experiment with Operator. Now I'm working on Diversion, since I bought last week. Great fun!
Effects: Ableton eq8 - glue comp - reverb - simple delay
