VST's

Post by Riven » Thu Jul 10, 2008 1:55 pm

Hi

Does anyone know the best and cheapest place to buy and download vst's for mac? (downloads only unless shop in manchester area).

Need Albino 2, z3ta, v station, bass station and edirol orchestral.

Just moved from pc to mac and have no plug ins and have two gigs at the weekend so need to get these now or up sh*t creak without a creak

cheers

Look. I did the Google job for ya'!

Albino - http://www.linplug.com/Shop/EU_Shop/eu_shop.htm

Z3ta+ - http://www.cakewalk.com/Products/Z3TA/

V-Station - http://www.novationmusic.com/products/s ... /vstation/

Bass Station - http://www.novationmusic.com/products/s ... s_station/

I guess Edirol Orchestral is buy-a-box only.

Z3ta is PC only.

The cheapest place to buy plugs is at the Marketplace forum at KVRAudio.com:

I bought probably 95% of my software from there, and you can usually get anything there for around 40-50% of retail pricing. There is a nice feedback thread, so you know who you're dealing with. So long as the company allows license transfers, it's usually a pleasant process, and you get your gear legit and f-ing cheap!

You must have gotten real lucky. When I buy used, stuff generally needs work done to make it sound right. More than once I've picked something up for cheap, just to find that there was a knob missing or a button broken.

Just be careful with used stuff.

Honestly, make sure it doesn't say NFR or EDU anywhere near the serial, and check for LCD brightness! :wink:

yeah, good points...sometimes when you buy from others, it becomes NFR, or there are restrictions like not being able to resell for a year, or there are transfer fees.

the LCD brightness joke went over my head...but then again, I'm old and stoopid. :)
