The 25 best VST/AU plugin synths in the world right now: all the best soft synths you need in your DAW By Ben Rogerson 06 December 2019 We asked you to vote for your favourite VST/AU plugin synth in our annual poll, and you did so in your thousands. The Best Free VST Instrument Plugins. Many of the most popular VST instruments, such as Massive or Omnisphere, come with a fairly high price tag.If you're a music production beginner, you may not be ready to fork out hundreds of dollars on various production effects and plugins just yet, which is completely understandable. Plugin Categories EQ Compressors Channel Strips Limiters Mastering Suites Transient Shapers MIDI Sequencers Working in sound design requires an ear for subtleties. Some say that sound design is all about making many small tweaks to lead to one great sounding final mix.
We polled over 16,500 members of our Audio Plugin Deals and Freebies Facebook group to see what they thought the best freebies of this year were. Anyone could add a product and vote for as many as they liked. The only rules were that the plugins were new this year, they are still free, and they will remain free indefinitely. Note that some entries from the original list have been removed as they didn't fit the criteria.
