What is your go to VST no matter what your working on?

[Hank the Knife]

Hmm.. EQ2. However, my mixes went from muddy to woolly lol that is a progression, not?

[Zexila]

The best VST on every project is the one that I dont have to use because everything is OK with the sound sources themselves.

So best ones are ones that aren't needed?

I have been reading up on a lot of effects recently after getting down the basics of my new DAW and would love to see what is your go to VST plugin! It's always interesting and informative to see what other people use!

The best VST on every project is the one that I dont have to use because everything is OK with the sound sources themselves.

I really can't agree with this at all. I've found that some plugins are just so useful, they're like magic. For example, I use a Reaktor patch called The Wire on every single track of every single project. Sometimes, I will even load it more than once, either stacking it on the output, or loading it in between other effects. The wire is nothing but a pure DSP thru bus, but, the magic is in the length. It only works if you have a large monitor, smaller monitors just don't have enough travel length.

As the bits travel through The Wire, they are stripped of digital dirt and grunge that they pick up while being processed with other plugs. Additionally, and this is why the length matters, they will realign their phase owing to the carefully spaced parallel wires and the speed of the bits traveling through the wire. This requires a minimum length of parallel virtual wires and so you need at least a 30" monitor in order to use The Wire.

The impact on the depth and clarity of the audio is amazing. The soundstage widens and opens up and become, dare I say it, three dimensional.

I can show you a picture of the internals setup for a particular non-standard bit rate, however, keep in mind that this isn't just something that you can build yourself, even with a picture, the length is critical for proper phase alignment and, naturally, it's different for different bit rates. Moreover, the relationship isn't linear, so you can't just double the length going from 48k to 96k, for example. The Wire isn't cheap, but, when you consider what it does for your music, I'm not sure that you could name a price that wouldn't seem like it's a steal.

I'm a distributor for The Wire, and I can probably get you a discount if you're a reasonably successful artist and you're interested in promoting The Wire on your website, pm if interested.

The Wire is purchased separately for each bit rate that you are interested in, some artists try using the wrong bit rate The Wire for special effects, but it's neither recommended nor supported. This is a precision tool for precision engineers.

I don`t have any one go to VST(i). I like to lend it to the wind when I start something.
I do always start with my stacker host called Chainer well before I open a seqr.

Same here. ^^^ for 32-bit Vst's. Or Reaktor for noodling.

So best ones are ones that aren't needed?

Exactly, sometimes I enjoy a bit of provocation This said my post had more thant that.

Why would I quote whole thing, I'm only asking about this statement.

So in your opinion, best VST is one you don't have to use?

That's what you said, I'm only asking for confirmation

Thanks or the proposal, but I already enjoy *my things* without *your thing*. Not saying that 'your thing' cant be usefull for others people, or even for me sometimes, just that I don't need it, or feel I need this or anything else atm. I just dont need anymore added when I'm happy with the results I get from sources I enjoy.

Creative effects can certainly be part of my process, but then, they are like any other synthesis tools : Just personal choices.

Read it simply like that : There's not a single VST I would put on *every project* or *every track of a project*. And this is my answer to the OP post. So the best vst is *that one* I'll never use *always*, and you can confirm.

What you taught and what you actually wrote are two totally different things, just that

EQ2...and a few other assorted things

Oh, I understand. Not everyone is ready for TheWire. I do want to clarify though, this isn't a "creative effect", it's a precision tool. Some might say that it's a game changer. It's one of those things, once you hear it, you can never unhear it.
