Default Free Software (DAW, VSTi, FX, etc)

I decided to make a big ol' list of sites with free VSTi download (LEGAL) ((btw if anybody finds any in the list that are not legal let me know so I can remove it immediately))

Also, if anyone has any other links, please post them and I'll add to the master list.
And I apologize if any of the links have weird titles, since bemanistyle has that automatic renaming thing that uses the title of the page.
OH (edit) and by the way, since this is all free stuff and whanot, you all should be warned that it might not work with certain programs (might not work with FL but would with Cubase, that sort of thing) and it might not be stable either and cause your program to crash, so make sure you save often and make backups when trying new software.

Hate to be a bother. But could you alphabetize those? It would make things so much easier to find and I could easily see if a link isn't there.

Thanks

Good idea, but just remember that bemanistyle uses the page's title as the link text. I'll edit it later today when I don't have so much of a headache (I stopped drinking pop so I haven't had any caffeine in over a day, I need to make some coffee or tea or something haha)

EDIT: now alphabetical

xhip is my new favorite synth. <3

quick question
does anyone know how to get VSTi's to work with Reason 3.0? The one I DL'd was a zip containing a .dll file. I'm assuming most VSTi's are .dlls, so can I get these to work on reason? if so how?

This is Reason's main downfall in my opinion being that it has absolutely NO VST support. You can only use what comes with Reason within the program. The only way to expand it is with ReFills and any extra sound samples you personally load into ReDrum, DrRex, or NN-XT/19 or w/e

well that sucks. Also, no live recording with microphones. this makes adding vocals (especially vocoded ones) a pain in the ass. so are there any freeware programs with VSTi support that I can wire into reason or sometin? I'm guessing not >.<

I have MAGIX Music Maker 11 deluxe, is there any way I could use these?
It doesn't look like I can.

Bump with a question, on the subject of free VSTi.
Does any one know any calliope/ organ grinder VSTi?




And yes, they do work with the software I'm using. to answer the question on my previous post.

I can safely say that's the most obnoxiously annyoing thing I've seen posted on this site since probably the whole "snare warbling" incident a year back. Good job.

Are there any VSTi that uses East Asian instruments (such as Erhu, Biwa, Shamisen, Koto)?

Fellow producers, have some toys.

Default Fellow producers, have some toys.

Figured I'd start this thread to get some stuff out there that people might not be aware of. I'm coming from a Windows-centric perspective, so I'm only listing stuff I know works nicely in Windows (sorry if you're running Vista, I can't confirm everything. :P)


Digital Audio Workstation software

Kristal Audio Engine


Probably the easiest free DAW software to get in and out of. Full VST plug support (though it has no midi so no VSTis). Fast. Comes with a pretty nice set of plugins that you can use in other hosts if you like (I like the compressor). Definitely worth an install.

Traverso DAW

A free, open-source, cross platform (runs on Linux, Mac, and Windows) multitrack recorder with a keyboard-heavy workflow.

Music Studio Producer

Hell if I know, haven't tried it yet.

Temper

A robust audio/midi multitrack software with a heavy emphasis on midi. Designed for creative manipulation of midi parameters and stuff. There's a beta VST version on the forum. Not freeware, but unexpiring uncrippled trialware--basically, when you start using it seriously, dude wants his 50 bucks. Oh, and there's no installation, so it's totally portable.

Multitrack Studio Lite

VERY compact, VERY powerful multitrack software with strong MIDI support and a unique interface. Free version is track limited.

TrakAX

Self-touted as "the Ultimate creation tool," it basically is a universal timeline software. Insert pictures, video, and audio. Also supports DX plugins and has strong beatmatching and time/speed alteration capabilities. If nothing else, grab it because it's better than Windows Movie Maker.


Audio editor

Wavosaur

A shockingly powerful, totally free, absolutely TINY audio editing application. Supports VSTs and, aside for multitracking, seems to leave Audacity in the dust with regards to features and power (and Audacity is a nice application).


Fun toys I haven't really gotten down yet

Linuxsampler (which, despite the name, runs and runs pretty well in windows) Gigasampler compatible sampler program that runs crossplatform. Website has links to a number of good GIG files, including a 992MB grand piano. It will eventually run as a VSTi, according to the development roadmap.

SynthFont is a player/synth that loads GIG and soundfont libraries for MIDI playback. Also runs as a VSTi.

Fluidsynth. For description, read Synthfont description.

MuseScore is A WYSIWYG notation editor. Sadly, the Windows version doesn't support midi yet.


Other

TrakAx TrakPacks

Remember that TrakAx program I told y'all about up ^^ there? one of the most intriguing things about it (and what they're apparently marketing with the free software) is the royalty free sample packs they carry. There are several free ones, and the ones that cost run 2 to 4 bucks apiece. There's some pretty darn nice stuff in there, too.

That's all for now. Feel free to add on. This is the most I can do right now since my music pc is dead.
