+1. These are more or less the only ones on my machine right now.

Being poor, I'm a big fan of free vst's. Being a PC user, fortunately there's a never-ending cornacopia of quality free stuff available! =)

My definitive list:

-Digitalfishphones: Fish Fillets, Endorphin
-Kjaerhus Audio: Classic Series
-Camel Audio: CamelCrusher
-Voxengo: Tube Amp, EssEQ, Old School Verb
-Dasample: Glaceverb
-SmartElectronics: Nyquist EQ

I tend to use

synth1

and fabfilter one quite a bit...

also, ive messed with glitch, but havent quite gotten my head wrapped around it.

I also like to use Audio Damage Pulse Modulator

and

camel audios camel fuzz.


I just got Asynth, and i messed with it for about 45 minutes last night and it seemed pretty darn cool.

Oh have any of you heard of this program called rollosonic? apparently it lets you do a sort of midi control with movements of your mouse.

www.kvraudio.com is your friend!

Set up two audio tracks and one MIDI. Pick a syth that takes up a good deal of the frequency spectrum and drop it in the MIDI track, also either pan audio all the way to the left or to the right

In one of your audio tracks drop a clip of a voice, accapella etc. and pan the audio in the opposite direction of your midi track.

send both audio from the voice clip and synth to the second audio track. Place MDA Talkbox or Vocoder on that track and have fun.

I'd think that you would just use the audio input for the Mic, the same way as an audio clip. I do not have a mic but I'd imagin its a lot of fun.


Glitch seemed like it was tough to get the hang of it at first but its really simple. There is a new beta out. I don't like how you mark the different effects in the current version, right click and left click.

up to the moment, after one year slowly checking out some of them:


freeamp
- preferred after getting frustrated with amplitube, waves gtr, guitar rig and izotope, it´s in the detail of their sound that comes closer to my picture of a real thing than the others, though? it´s more simple to use after all

tl saturated
- a very very nice, small-compressor-like warmup with a little distortion, without getting it too thick or plastic, easy to use but also some nice features (input, attack, release, effect, boost-modes)

ensembler
- modulation by some osc and effects, and a sweet trancegate

pling and emily
- wonderful sounds coming from this little one, just give it a try

dblue glitch
- everyone likes, cause it is... good

dfx transverb
- also great, but just because of the nice randomizer

lpgeq2
- draw your frequencies


and many of the stuff within live, eq3, resonator, auto filter, grain delay, ping pong and so on.

Glitch, Hjaerhus classic suite, nyquist eq, crystal. The fish plugins, (Blockfish, Floorfish, and and and, errr something fish...... I guess that fish doesn't get much use......). I just picked up Curve, to check out it's waveshapping capabilities.......

yes yes! and +1 for tweakbench. and i use the MDA dubdelay a lot.

don't know if anyone has ever used stuff from Kong Audio - Chinese instrument plugins. they're quite good for an independent developer, especially the percussion plugin called Chineekong (not free though) - excellent sampled Chinese percussion. single shots, rolls, phrases, loops...they're all there. they even have a free phatmatized expansion pack for d/l. they also have a free Chinese flute and Chinese violin VST, if you're looking for some different sounds. nice people too. anyhow.....it's www.kongaudio.com

Audio Damage FuzzPlus, Claw, LiveCut, Automat / Buzzer and Apple's AUMatrixReverb (because it uses way fewer resources than the Ableton 'verb) are essentials for me.
