The Ultimate VST Plugin Tier List 2023-2024 (97.6% Accurate) 

For Diva, there's a multicore button at the top which makes the CPU usage waaay better. It should be on by default honestly

Idk bro, i‘d actually say its 97.8% accurate

I have to say I'm glad to see LABS in sleepers. It deserves so much more attention than it gets. Its a free plugin that consistently puts out new sounds to try, typically something unique or classic, but high quality none the less. Its an amazing tool.

Dope, you showed some things I didn't know about and want to try ✊🏽

FYI yall, UVI Falcon is currently 30% off

You're right about many plugins having the same synths. In that regard you should have put TAL audio in the bottom category, because you have Analog Lab. It's also true for KORG but if you want the M1 or Triton you don't have an other choice. I would have put Scaler higher, because if you have to get a music theory plugin, this is the absolute best. Kontakt at the bottom and Kontakt banks at the top, makes no sense.

Everyone appreciates this man ! All love to you

This was dope! You should make a video on the top 3-5 essentials needed for a beginner that will last them till at least the intermediate stage. I don’t have any packs, drum kits or anything. Just stock FL Studio , and Pro Tools. I feel overwhelmed when trying to figure out what I need. But after seeing this i guess I’ll look into Arcade and Analog Lab V?

The best catergory headings, covers just about every section👍🏾.

Alright Most synths are the same but Omnisphere, phaseplant, and Pigments are just next level If you got the patience.

Would love to know where you would put Heat Up 3 and also I would love a video where you show the best presets for electra x and massive and so on.

well said for the stock plugins, I think sylenth1 deserves genre specific at least for trance music. but I agree they are better with presets

Bro! 🤩 Your outro track is fire!! 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 How in the world did you get that computer sound? I mean seriously, that track is crazy good!

Love this list and the reasons. Thank you

Decent Sampler is made by a single guy and he’s got an awesome RU-vid channel. His channel is David Hilowitz Music

I would choose between Superior and Ez, if I were a producer who doesn't want to bother with drum mixing, I would prefer the latter. The quality of drums in EzDrummer3 is on par with Superior, the only difference is that the presets are already prepared for the mix by default. And there is no such variety in microphone positions. In Superior, to my regret, I haven't heard a single preset from producers, which could be put into the mix without additional movements - drums sound raw there anyway.

Why everybody says Arcade is $10 /monthly? They always charge me $15 a month. They must be fucking over me on the price.

Purity deserve to be higher its good for west coast type beats

Zenology by Roland and Korg Extreme and Kontakt are the ones to go to try them out

It's funny how people hate on nexus now that they can't add 3rd party presets. That's my thoughts on that. I bought nexus 4 and I think it's pretty dope especially if you actually really learn it. Plus a sleeper vst that many people don't know about is unify!! The things you can do with it is crazy.

Hard to argue with your judgements as many will agree sometimes its just a personal thing why one plugin is better for them than another. However, I do believe Halion deserves more appreciation considering what you get for your bucks compared to say numerous "expensive" libraries for Kontakt/Best Service. Superior Drummer is Superb "the best sampled drummer especially with the extra mic placement for realism" however the extra libraries can start to cost you a small fortune and some EAT your hard drive space for fun like Kontakt libraries and for that matter Best Service extensions. I do think the quality of sound is fundamental and the availability of 3rd party custom presets etc has to be seriously considered in any decision. I don't "own" many on the list but used most and no idea what that "last one is" syplayer?? That is a new one to me !! Used to love Nexus but that got binned with Nexus 4 and still love the old superwave synths and EVERYONE should own the whole bundle cos it costs peanuts and great fun to mess with.

This video had me excited at first until I saw your 248 different tier lists instead of just keeping it to 4 or 5.

I'm so glad you put Nexus at the bottom, I've always thought it was trash for how much you pay.. for me XO deserves to be all the way at the top also funny how you said you regret buying Keyscape, cuz I def feel the same about that purchase as well, & maybe DIVA, but not really, diva has really the best textured synth sound but so expensive for something so specific

i feel u but its hard for me to say LABS is a sleeper when almost literally every channel beatmakers mention it. eitherway this was solid. it be cool to get one of these strictly for free vsts

Man…VPS Avenger is my #1 right now!

I do not recommend getting Omnisphere. - CPU Hog (even on above average PCs) - Takes Lots of Storage Space - Not beginner friendly (You really have to study it) - Presets catered to more Cinematic Sounds - Most presets are not that great to begin with Take it from someone that has had it since 2017. While I don’t recommend it, it IS a great plugin. I use Kontakt Ultimate Bundle for future proof (mainly get it on sale or deal) (I recommend it if you’re good with the keys) I also use Analog Lab PRO which is what I recommend. (What I recommend more is buying a MIDI Keyboard that’ll give you Pigments, Analog Lab and as well as other stuff for only 250$) I’m mainly a RnB and Trap/Hip Hop producer.

Need more these videos

I remember HALion because I know a game that uses HALion presents. When people try to recreate the sounds from HALion into the game, they note that it needs a Cubase license to work.

I think when you were talking about "Kontakt Unlimited", you really meant Komplete Ultimate (which includes Kontakt and a bunch on other Instruments, FX, and Maschine expansion packs). I was wondering why you mentioned not to spend $1000 when the latest Kontakt 7 costs $300 at full price (

Damn my man gave scorch no love 😂

should i get analog lab Pro, serum or nexus 4 also buying xpanda2, scaler 2 and halftime. or what are y'all recommendations

Quick correction: Pianoteq is not sampled, it's physically modelled. Advantages and disadvantages there of course. In general, if you're a pop / hip-hop / rock producer and piano is not really a featured instrument, it's probably overkill, and you can do a lot of course just by treating DAW stock or cheaper sampled pianos. If you feature complex piano arrangements, or produce jazz or classical, it's S-tier - the equivalent in samples would probably be Vienna Symphonics Synchron piano collection, and both of course have their plusses / minuses.

What vst should I buy for Black Friday any recommendations?

Falcon should go in if you have money for it. It's great but it can get pricey

Wait, people don’t know about Kilohearts or Falcon? WOW.

Which banks you recommend from Best Service?

And Radio is fairly cheap... defintely worth it. Lately i've ben questioning purchases.. especially with synths and effects. like how many of the same thing do I actually need...

Bro Can You Make Video For Genre Specific Like Indian Sounds for bollywood, Afro House sounds and so on and so fourth

shout out to Bro Beatz, He Been Doing This. For a Good While Now.

there was only about 3 that you mentioned that i did not know about, good video over all though

Halion is Steinberg, everybody know Steinberg and Cubase.

click "multicore" button on the DIVA, now CPU usage is massive reduced

you are the man

What about heat up 3 ?

Accurate on most of them 😎

qbsolut fire video

If this was a trance list spire would be number 1

make one with FX

Arcade is $15 a month now

You need to add the download with your content

Xfer probably haven't added an arp to Serum bc they sell Cthulhu

I think keyscape has to be at the top also

Halion got good shit

Get halion 7 bra Easily one of he best out

Early Gang❗️

That was a good laugh, Diva is one of the best synth ever

do one with mixing plugins

Can you upload an image of the entire chart?

Not all FREE plugins are good BRO ❤

Scaler is not an effect plugin its a chord and melody generator that's not the same thing 😅

Bro where are initial audio?

Yer.

what is the first one? I cant understand what he says....Psy player? sy player? sign player? Help

18:19

1st of all, nobody buys Kontakt to use the stock Libraries. It's all about the 3rd-party Libraries which hands down beat ANYTHING on this list.

this gotta be the worst tier list ever conjured

Pianotech ain't sampling anything. It's a physical modeling intrument

When you put arturia on top then your level is 😂

LOL Diva and Kontakt discarded ? This is a joke. These are 2 plugins used by many if not most pros. Arturia in S tier LMAO, that's amateur hour right there.

One of the few to give halion the credit they deserve.

If someone has 1000 to spend, what plugins do they buy? None and crack them, save that money on gear 😂

Not you disrespecting the OG Nexus 🥲

spitfire free gets rated higher than payed.. lol.

Sleepers SURGE XT synth (open source) free Softtube Saturator free GSat+ Saturation Free WAIT FOR SALE knifonium Synth Ni Playbox Vertigo VSM 3 saturator

Diva only on sale? Bruh.. Its solid A tear at least. One of the best sounding and versatile VA plugins. Dislike for such a noob move

Labs have good quality I hate the work flow

ODDITY 3....

It's so difficult to find a honest music producer content creator. Almost bought sublab because of some black friday videos.

I disagree. Some of my best sounds i Nexus. I can't make music without it right now.

Who the hell uses serum presets

These are vsti's bruv

wtf is that Radio plug - I can't even find any info on it?

??????!

I think if a plugin is only good with 3rd party presets then it shouldn't be on the list because your not actually using there sounds

RU-vidrs man

bla bla bla bla...

You are a hard man to please. If there is a better VST on the planet than Falcon I’d like to see it. 🦭
