studio toolz is good...
just pimp the websites of
u-he
flux vst
brainworks digital
cycling 74
solid state logic
audjoo, or a synth named helix or something.
and all.
google all that. there isnt much in the way of freeware mac plugs, but there are some gems...
check the plug in database of
www.kvraudio.com have a look at
www.dontcrack.com as well.
the stuff in live 7, eq 8, compressor, and the fx are really tight.
its synths, but I gave you some links...
Key to sound has a nice free synth, and that helix synth is supposed be really good.
if you are lacking though in synths, put some money together and buy something.
if you want to do better than lives eq 8 and compressor from version 7, expect to spend some serious money.
and if you are looking to best lives built in fx, you have to pick up something like sugar bytes artillery.
that is why you see people with sorta these plugs. free-ware is great. and on xp there is plenty of it to give payware a real serious thought or two. but on os x that is snoT the chAse...
cheers
( edit )
after reading you post again, if all you want is synths...
U-he has the cheese machine? i think its called..
Key To sound has something... Remedy??
and then there is the audjoo helix...??
those three synths are great to get you started. and try to save up 200 dollars for
www.cakewalk.com Rapture, as its one of the best around and will solve your synth problem forever as long as you put the time in to learn it...
