Any good VST plug-ins?

[tehplatypus]

hey, was just wondering if anyone knew a good site for free VST plug-in's....or VST plug-ins/bundles that are worth the money?


edit: i should clarify....i'm looking for dynamic/time-based processing plug-in's....not virtual instruments/synthesizers.

Not sure about freebie stuff. Most of the free stuff I got came with Cubase and I rarely use em cause once you buy some decent plug-ins, the free stuff sounds like crap.
If you want a good package, go with Pluggo. There's a ton of stuff for a decent price.
Other than that, I'd recommend BBE Sonic Maximizer for vocals and acoustic guitar. PSP VintageWarmer for compression, Spectral Design Voice Generator/Voice Processor for vocals, TC|Native Reverb Master, PSP84, Spektral•Delay, Karlette (echo), Antares Auto Tune, MicMod (mic emulator), Grugelizer (for that old radio sound), Magneto (for warmth), MDA De-ess.
And finally, t-Racks for mixdown.

The ones that get the most use are the TC|Native Reverb Master, PSP VintageWarmer, Karlette and t-Racks.

thanks for the suggestion about pluggo....i'll check it out...the rest of the stuff is way too out of my price range for now....which is why i wasl ooking for more affordable or free VST plugins.

There is tons of free VSTs on the net, go to the discussion group for Mackies Tracktion, I know a while ago they listed a bunch. There are some really nice ones out there.

The best plugins I have ever seen come from Universal Audio and their UAD-1 card. These plugins are amazing but the hardware and plugins cost $ (from about 350 for the project pack and more for their other packages). However, these vintage compressors and modern reverbs are amazing. check out <a href="www.uaudio.com">UniversalAudio.com</a> and read about their digital products.

I have two of their DSP cards installed and sware bye their 1176, LA2A, Pultec, and reverbs.

can you mash in all 4 buttons on the 1176 and get the 44:1 compression ratio like on the real deal?
