Top 3 of your fav vst devs

[jamcat]

Not so keen anymore...

NI- tiny updates and call it a new chargeable version!
Roland- Don't have a subscription service then add nothing new!
Arturia (reluctantly!) - running out of ideas?

I feel the same way about Arturia.

But they could turn it all around with JX-8P and Theremin models!

[Electric Phase]

UVI
Toontrack
Spectrasonics

[multree]

In the past it‘s been

IK Multimedia only (Fame is still my main Reverb because it‘s lovely)

But since then I‘d say:

Klevgrand
BabyAudio
Voosteq

Runnerups:

Toneboosters
AudioThing
Kazrog (the 252 is )
Wavesfactory

[Srae]

The Usual Suspects
Sai'ke
Giorgio Sancristoforo

Full Bucket Music can replace Giorgio if standalone software doesn't count, and it's a tie up between Newfangled Audio and Toneboosters to replace Sai'ke if JSFX doesn't count either.. and Surge Synth Team can replace The Usual Suspects if they're blacklisted for giving everyone a Virus.

I think the last thing we need in such a discussion is (another) political discourse.

Our lives are a glorified commercial.

Don't forget your t-shirts for the warm weather that say top 3 like Nike, Reebok and Adidas on them, and/or corporate logo tattoos.

Free advertising.

1. Full Bucket Music.

3. Klanghelm

Arturia

This!

[heyheycnv]

With these quality four I'm set up very well -
TDR - modern, clean plugins
Audiothing - creative plugins
Fuse - classic emu plugins
Klanghelm - deep plugins

Others like PSP, Valhalla, U-HE, Audiority, Neold, Kuassa, Brainworx are my next tier.

[D-Fusion]

I have changed my mind already.

G Force
A rturia
S pectrasonics

[spigmu]

Toneboosters
Klangheim
Full Bucket

Honorable mention: Melda, Tukan, Analog Obsession.

My #1 favorite developer, hands down, is Chris Johnson of airwindows, but since I've almost never used them except to fart around with when they drop I'm taking that into account for this. But he owns this thing he does..
