Ok.. I am trying to work up an informational on how to record music at home on a budget.
I am going to need some footnote stops along the way so consider this footnote stop #1
I'll get into what a VST is, and how to use them, and free hosts to use them on, but not here.
This is just a dumping ground for generic softwares.
All these links are active, and freeware. Many offered up by the very people who created them.
Like musicians there is a 'culture' of software creators who want to share their labors with you at no cost.
If in this list someone finds a dead link or a non free item, please let me know so I can remove it.
This VST list is partial in nature as I have a lot to filter through, it will inevitably grow as I get deeper into my
Hard drive.
There are no Sound Fonts included however there are some sound font players in the list.
I myself use SFz all the time. I'll include a list of excellent free soundfonts in footnote #2.
There are no sound samples, there are however drum and sound samplers in the list (I use loopazoid drums sampler myself)
and I will include a list of files in footnote #3 that you can load on the samplers like the same single not drum hits I use.
Of course in the finished informational I will explain how to use a 35 dollar wallmart keyboard and a midi cable to turn your
PC into a powerhouse of sounds and abilitys.
________________
One disclaimer.. there are 'pros' who would never ever ever put any of this stuff on their PC. Free VST is considered taboo
by them. And some good reasons they think this way is that you will get NO PHONE SUPPORT (for example) from the creators of free
VST's.
These are simply 'your on your own'.
That being said I have tried almost everything in this lst at one time or another. NEVER ONCE have I picked up a virus, or malware.
These downloads are the best bet in Vegas for the beginnings of a low cost powerful setup.
I hope those who know how to use them will enjoy the list.
And that those who don't know how to use them will wait for some help before they start trying.
I'll try and expidite my informational.
Cheers..
