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

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.

Can The Wire make use of a multiple monitor setup? Can I get a discount if I say it works really good? I am a good looking dude so don't mind providing a photo.

Sonic Charge Permu8 pretty much only using it for distortion by driving the input and mixing in a little on drums, great on individual hit's and the drum buss. It seem's to gel the drums together really nicely when used in moderation.

I've no go-to plugins for everything. It depends both on what the material requires and the tools I've at my disposal.
I would say that a good clean equalizer and compressor find their way in virtually every context; but that's not to say I would use them on everything following a template, or that I need to stick to a specific plugin.
If it makes sense to buy something else because it's better than the tools I already own (and the price is ok), then I will change. If I were to work on someone else's setup, I would use whichever tool is the best in his setup (it could be better or worse than my tools, but that would not matter... given the tools are ok for the task, that is).

I have some favourite colours, but they are not go-to. I use them when I feel they would fit and enhance the material, otherwise I won't even try them. I wouldn't paint a cat in green, would you?

Astonishing.. after years of research i came up with a similar structure.. and called it "Placebo".
It works wonders..

I assume that you mean multiple small monitors? Unfortunately, it doesn't work. The Wire must be continuous and multiple monitors, even in a proper stand, simply do not have the alignment precision to work satisfactorily with The Wire. The engineers tell me that they've tried multiple shorter variants of The Wire in series, but, unfortunately, the impedance of the connectors is hard to predict theoretically, so the results have been less than satisfactory.

As I said, I can arrange a discount for successful artists. I assume then that you're signed to a major?

Lately it has been Tal Reverb-4, it loads quickly, uses no CPU and just adds that needed space to any sound

Why did so many people fall for that obvious (and awesome) pisstake.

A major what? I haven't had any success as of yet but my mum says I will be famous if I finishing something.
