Matt Tytel
Airwindows
Analog Obsession

There are several honourable mentions that come to mind too, but three is what you asked for, and three is what you get.

I can't name three, cause there are many great vst devs that I can put at 2nd and 3rd position. Which means, I can name only one, the best:
u-he

Since this is the Effects forum, I assume the question is in regard to FX VSTs.

My list:

Fab Filter, MeldaProduction, Nomad Factory, IK Multimedia, LiquidSonics, D16 Group ... pick any three.

Oh wait ... Korneff Audio, new guys with a most impressive start, should probably be in that lineup as well.

Effects:
Eventide
Brainworx
IK Multimedia

Instruments
Audio Modeling
Modartt
Arturia

Though IK and Arturia could go in either list, really.

I don't have favourite brands, I have favourite tools and I don't alow my judgement to be clouded by giving a flying f**k about who makes it. Although I did uninstall all my Kjearhus plugins when we found out about that guy.

^What's the matter with Kjearhus? A Nazi? Child molester? Racist?

Pretty often u-he and Audiothing.
Never paid attention to Audiothing for
whatever reason.
I am curious and am going to check some demos.

Quite surprised not to see Softube at all,
their quality is praised quite often,
but I am also not a big fan.

Mainly use stock fx in Daw, but also use old mda stuff, and some free scopes from a couple of companies.

3rd party fx have never impressed me enough to spend money on them.

If I had to pick these days:

-Arturia has to be here
-UA for the Lexicon/AMS/API stuff
-PA for the giant umbrella, though mostly for Brainworx and Unfiltered

I’m almost sure I’m missing something doing this away from the computer. I’d add Exponential too if it weren’t abandonware and Valhalla if I had more of it.
