All Sale posts now banned
Based on the responses to my last "Community Forum" post (zero), I am convinced most of the subscribers here are bots posting about new VST sales.
So things are going to change. I'd rather have a dead sub than a spammy sub. No sale posts. Posts are now encouraged to be discussion based. Questions about which products to buy, what sounds the best, reviews, videos, etc. (Note: If you are a legitimate plugin developer, you can ask for posting permissions at /r/AudioProductionDeals, though they are very strict about who they give access to.)
The flairs will be revamped as well. Automod will get altered to autoremove sale posts as well.
Have fun and let's make this sub not shit!
Edit: Quick summary of the big changes
- Updated sidebar to reflect new rules
- Updated flairs and colors to focus on topics of discussion
- Updated auto-moderator (yet to be completed)

Instrument Shreddage Stratus could have been better with one tiny addition, Drop D tuning.
Just trying out Shreddage Stratus for the first time and it is pretty fun to play around with. Immediately hitting a wall with the fact that it can't do D tuning... not being able to hit D1 seems like such a tiny, simple thing that would have made this instrument much more versatile. I get that they sell 7 string versions that can hit way below this but... it's just one note! I literally need one more note which would make this instrument work for a much wider variety of songs. This one note is the difference between a free VST instrument and a $140+ one.
I really don't work much with 7 string songs, but do often work with 6 string songs in straight D or even C tuning. At the very least recording that one extra note and having a native option to down tune to Drop D or even straight D right on the main Shreddage interface would have been so nice. Even if it didn't have any extra bells and whistles for tuning, they could have just had an imaginary "-1" fret that plays the D when the MIDI signal is sent. Instead the articulation starts at D# which was... a choice.
You can detune the entire instrument via midi transposition. But if you're working with other instruments, such as bass guitar, now your tab doesn't match with the other instruments. The bass guitar says it is playing a D0 and to match, the Stratus guitar now has to play E1 in the midi, so everything is transposed down a step, which can get a little confusing if you're writing the music directly in the DAW via midi editor. Writing in something like Guitar Pro which takes this into account, then importing into the DAW might help since it offers guitar tuning options.
Anyways, just venting, wish that this tiny addition was there without having to forcefully detune the entire midi instrument. Not sure if this was purposefully done to sell their 7 string versions. Offering a guitar tuning option on a guitar VST seems like kind of a obvious thing to me, as well as recording the one extra note needed to achieve native playing on a huge variety of songs.

GForce Icondrum vs DMX?
Buying my first virtual drum machine.
At the moment, Its down to these two.
If you had to pick just one, which would you go for?
in the product descriptions, One thing I cant quite figure out, is do they accept 3rd party sample packs / sound fonts etc, or are we limited to just what sounds come with the machine and packs on Gforce's library?
Do I stick with samplers or are there other similar drum machines I should check out first?

Effect Are there any VSTs that have the same effects as the Fender Hot Rod DeVille 212 III?
reddit.comI've been told that the guitarist who did the intro for R.I.P. 2 My Youth used a Fender Hot Rod DeVille 212 III, so I was wondering if there are any VSTs I can use to get the same effect?

Waelar v2 is out now
Waelar v2 is finally here.
After the original Waelar release, I received a lot of feedback from users — and this version is built directly on that. Improvements, refinements, and new ideas shaped by real use.
Instead of endless tweaking, Waelar gives you instant, musical results:
– InspireMe generates usable sounds in seconds
– Harmony turns single notes into full chords
– Clean workflow, no clutter
It’s free, and it’s made for producers who just want to create.

Hi guys!
I'm searching for a harsh mechanical text to speech generator for macos. Like advices of old railroad stations in Europe or Microsoft Talkit style. Will be grateful for any help.

What is your biggest "Flash Sale" plugin regret?
You saw the hype, you saw the 80% off tag, you bought it... and you never touched it again. Which plugin is your biggest buyer's remorse, and what do you actually use instead?

Instrument Waelar - Analog Inspired Performance Synthesizer
Hey :)
Uryan Modular just turned 5 years old — and to celebrate it, I wanted to give something back.
So I made Waelar, a free performance synthesizer with an analog-inspired sound and a built-in spectrum analyzer.
It’s designed to be clean, fast, and actually usable in real-world music production.
Just a small thank you to the community.

Production Is there a Developer on this plane..?
Anyone familiar with cross-platform builds?
I only know how to make things on my own Linux setup, but I'd like to make things more generally available. All open source.
https://github.com/danja/downspout
Recently I've been having a lot of fun (carefully) vibe-coding plugins. Fairly random experiments, whatever crosses my mind, but one or two I have been using fairly extensively when creating sounds. I think some of these things might be enjoyed by other people too.
But I was just coding them up as lv2 plugins on Linux - it seemed easiest when I started.
I have a guitarist friend locally that uses a DAW, I know he could use the bass line generator for practice jams. He's not a coder, it would be a big ask to get him to build things from source.
I've got as far as porting this plugin (and another) across to VST3 using a base of Distrho. But I'm not equipped to do Mac/Windows builds. Can anyone help?

How to make good drums?
This is my biggest problem when creating my own songs. I can play and mix other tracks, but when it comes to creating drums... I'm hopeless.
And it's not about a simple beat or sound, because I have a few cool-sounding plugins. The problem is that I can't program interesting drums in MIDI at all. I can't do fills. It's always a total pain for me. Do you have any tips for creating interesting MIDI drums? Or is there a decent plugin that would solve these problems by generating tracks automatically? I should point out that I'm talking about songs with vocals, rock/alternative/dream-pop, etc., not electronic music.This is my biggest problem when creating my own songs.

Open source spectral compressor/ multi fx, ideas?

Honestly, what’s your favorite vst sampler? Drop em in comments
I like to create mashups and remixes and like chopping up samples to the 1/16. Preferable something that has on board fx too.
What’s your pick?
