he would've had a field day with vital
The real MVP, thx.
Yeah
Paulstretch is a vst on LSD... It went from Drum sample to violin synth lol
Yeah
blew my mind. wow!!!!
wish it worked on Mac :'(
I think the LABS is iconic for very faithful sounding instruments.

If everything goes wrong with music production and UA-cam, Cameron can easily find a new job in the closest radio. What a voice.
Supermassive is one of my absolute favorites. I’ve used only my harp to create some amazing drones and atmospheres. I also use it on nearly every single one of my songs because there’s just enough freedom and presets to tweak etc that you can get an insane amount of use out of it for a free plug in. And pairing Spitfires Soft Piano with it?! Just damn 🦄😩✨
Addition to the list - VCV Rack. Completely free and powerful modular synth (although it's practically a DAW now) with free access to things like Mutable Instruments, and trust me, you want Clouds for sound design. Over 2000 modules, and a lot of weird quirky things that don't really exist anywhere else.
Modular can be time consuming, but also a huge time saver for certain things. One of my tricks is to load up one of the samplers, point it to a directory of, say, 300 hi-hat samples, and use sample and hold to randomly select samples for every note. Of course manipulating pitch and decay as well. That would take weeks to do elsewhere (as far as I know). Record, pull it into a session, and it's something unique that'll never happen again.
One module will let you load NES roms and play any game with any CV source, or vice versa, another will let you play Snake with authentic graphics. Nuff said.
I almost had VCV in here but as it's not a true 'plugin' yet I left it off the list. Once VCV gets VST support though that'll be a gamechanger!
@@VenusTheory There is a VST module but it is not free
@@sandnerdaniel Where is it?
@@TheMicrofox It is called Host, it is vst plugin host. It is on the VCV rack website
No, I meant VCV as a VST plugin itself, which could then be hosted in any DAW.
I've heard a number of "as good as the payware" reviews, but you present seriously good stuff. There are a lot of good freeware and freeish ware out, but these plugs, and your synth suggestions, are top shelf. Thanks for the reviews. And the virtual coffee. I do the optional pants thing during the summer myself.
Cam , haven't watched your videos in a while and now I can see how much you have improved and how the channel has grown! I'm really happy for you and the channel and I hope you keep making awesome, high quality videos!
Welcome back haha - glad you enjoyed it!
It really worked for me after I look and try some tutorials, yours is the one that worked. Owe you a lot.
Super well made video, I appreciate each plugin getting demonstrations/examples of what they can do 👏
Great list. Appreciate the info. I'm more of the sound fx side than the music production but these will definitely come in handy.
Super in depth, you convinced me to download all of them
I like using TDR's free compressor and Fresh Air by Slate Digital on my master output. I also use Valhalla Supermassive on, like... everything. From pianos to synths to strings to drums. Everything.

You are welcome
Thank you! Like your delivery and the quality of sound. Subbed.
Glad I found this. I have and use most of these, but I didn't know about a couple that I will definitely try. Thanks!
Forgot about the NOVA! Thank you reminding me! Will try out cloudseed! And BTW you got a great voice (for voice overs)!
What a nice voice you have! I have worked with great voice artist here in the Montreal region, but your timbre/tone is truly unique...!
This is a fantastic video STUFFED with high-value content! Thank you so much for the insight, @VenusTheory!
Gotta thank you. This is the most actually useful "10 plugins" video I've seen. I have some of these, and I've heard of some others, and I was actively looking for plugs like the remaining ones. I'm excited to load up every one of these! Thanks for making and sharing. Happy Coffee Cheers!! ☕☕
Glad it helped! Happy music making!
You explain technology better than anyone on UA-cam! I love your channel! Also your followers are very knowledgable and helpful! Thank you for this video and thank you for this channel!
Subbed after watching this. Very good video; as a sound designer myself i had no clue these free plugins existed! Thanks!
I love everything Valhalla does. Every single vst they ever done sounds perfect.
Thank you, this is exactly what I’ve looking for for months. Also thank to the algorithm for getting me here
Great video! I’ll be certainly trying some of these out 😊
Ima download it thanks for sharing!!
Wow, great review of some cool plugins that I can actually use. Thanks.
Outstanding production. Thanks !
Thanks for this. Discovered some new cool tools, and how they can shape the tone of a track!
Nice video man, clear and concise explanation! Thanks a lot!
Just came across you, and my dude you are what I’ve been looking for. Concise, articulate, and classy. My guy I can’t wait for more of your content.
I have Music contents too. Check me out
Appreciate it! Glad you've been enjoying the channel!
Totally engaging and very helpful list of non-cheesy FREE VSTs! Thanks for putting work (coffee) into this! :) On my way to download!
Thank you.Love the way you actually show how these work and how they sound, Rather then just, Yeah get these, they are great,. Have earned a sub.
Some great recommendations. Thanks for the heads up.
Thank you! Wow man, you gotta sing, what a beautiful deep voice you have!
just learning great Video really helped me out thanks
PG8X. Virtual Roland JX8-P. Very good emulation of the funkiest synth ever made (after the Arp 2600, of course)
love the fact that most plugins have a 32 bits version for those of us who still have older cubase/nuendo versions. Thanks!
I've watched so many of these, I expected to fast forward through a bunch of stuff I already had. But I watched anyway just in case, and holy cow, almost every one of these was new to me and something I really needed.
Glad to hear it! Enjoy!
Thanks so much for your very helpful video!
Fantastic video mate. As a sound design lecturer myself, I find most of these tools really good, plus your narration is really good!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey man. Love your stuff. I'm a SFX editor in film and I have to admit, there seems to be a lack of videos on plug ins for purely sound FX rather than sound design. Most video tutorials seem to cater more to the music world. Would love to see a video of yours focusing on plug ins purely built for aiding sound effects editors. Thanks and keep up the amazing vids. Cheers
Thanks ! Definitely some great sounding plug-ins
This was really well done man, thanks for sharing 😎
Woah, great video mate!
This content was really good, thank you very much! greetings from Brazil
Great video man! Finally a video that shows off some plugins I haven't heard of
Glad I could help!
Wow, I finally found this video. Every one of these is awesome!
Blue Cat's Triple EQ is another solid one to look into, comes in stereo/mono/dual
Oh and Ambience by Smartelectronix is just as crazy as cloudseed, would be really trippy to hear those two together
Good morning, Cameron. I appreciate this video. You get right to what you want to tell us about. You don't say "um". Straight facts. The plug-ins sound useful and fun. I'll be adding a couple to my Mixcraft stable. Enjoy your coffee. I am. :-) Plugins that I have used a lot: Filter Grizzly, Cajon-Fu (a shipload of my early stuff had this for drums) iZotope Mastering Essentials (I prefer this as mush as the 31-band EQ in Mixcraft) and for a synth - TAL Noisemaker. Peace, Cameron!
Some really great VST’s! Thanks for sharing 😉 subbed! 👍
Thnaks very much! "Surge" Is the best ! I love it
I have Music contents too. Check me out
Great video and choice of plugins! 👍
Cecilia 5 + Fracture = great sound design session
Thanks for your video, help me a lot!
thanks, it actually let me through so i could download it.
TNice tutorials is exactly what I needed to understand the UI. Great tutorial!
I've seen this video like FOUR times now... I can't wait until my desktop is fixed. This stuff is SO SICK!
Insanely helpful thank you so much!!!
TNice tutorials is really well done Mike, thanks for putting the ti and energy into tNice tutorials.
Okay dokey mr smooth talking… you got me. This one deserves my sub. Perfect good sir. 👍
Subscribed! Downloading and trying these plugins.
Great channel, btw
Enjoy! And welcome aboard!
Thanks for the list dude, downloaded a few of these forsure
Glad I could help!
Great call on Surge and Helm. Both are really fun to use and can sound very deep very quickly and pretty modern especially after you drop some effects on them.
For sure! Maybe I should do some kind of 10 free synths video too, there are some real gems out there!
bruh ur taste in vsts is the best i seen on here, thankGod i found ur channel!
A great roundup of interesting plug-ins, well demonstrated. Thanks for the great video, I look forward to trying mist of these out!
Have fun!
Great advice and great presentation

Vital is now here and it's awesome!!!
truly very useful
thanks a lot
essential video man thanks!!!!
Great video! Thank you!
Great stuff here man
pancake is hands down my favorite free plugin... love it
Subbed. Best Free Plugin video period
Very good presentation 🤙
Crystal is an awesome free synth! I use it a lot and it surprises me every time!
Thank you for the video. It's a great list of useful plugins!
Actually, it took me some time to learn mixing-related things to realize how good these are. (as a beginner, one can't say why and when you need different compressors, but at some point it's like WOW, THAT'S WHY!!!)
It's a good mix of well-known plugins as well as some extra things I've never heard before.
Glad it was helpful!
Really helpful video 🙌 👍
As someone who is just starting to research plugins I find this very helpful. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for sharing this useful information

Great informative review, great for a new producer and a Worthy sub. So glad you had surge at the end, I have used this alot in my trance production! Nearly got, Sylenth but surge had helped me, I think I will still get Sylenth but I have learnt a lot with Surge. Keep up the great work sir Thank you. ✌🏻
Glad it was helpful! And for sure, Surge is an excellent synth that's really powerful!
Bought the MJUC years ago, love it.
I have Music contents too. Check me out

CloudSeed is a magical thing haha. Hope one day to see it available on Mac so everyone can get in on the magic!
OMG. This is such a life saving video. Thank you!
