Plug in fx

What is your favorite plugin for music making, and why? It
can be free or bought.

I find the Destroy FX vst effects very high quality
considering they are free, and I am also loving the
Hyperprism Direct x effects pack (although they really eat
system resources.)

Oh, look! What a surprise. A cynical, rude, utterly useless
reponse.

Hypocrit.

Do you use external effects?

I use those as well; a favorite is the Kaos Pad for it's
ease of use.

But I like plug-ins simply because you can do detail
audio-cutting and then apply different effects to each audio
fragement.

I don't know how Squarepusher managed with external effects
up until recently! (apparently he didn't use a PC)

you do realise you just asked me if i use "external
effects". when you start to use english then we can have a
conversation.

There are software effects, plug-in effects....

Perhaps "hardware effects units" would be more apt then.

I think I'll avoid posting on xltronic at this time of
night. It's nicer during the day.

"plugins are shit, use proper sounds"

Well, that may be your opinion, but plenty of highly
respected electronic musicians use them.

The best plugins are the ones I make with Max/MSP and
Pluggo.

Isn't Max/MSP a bitch to program though?

Yes. Its the exact opposite of picking up an instrument and
jamming out with it.

i agree, and by definition should not be considered music...
at all

You don't think Aphex Twin, Plaid, Richard Devine, or
Autechre make music? I hope you're taking the piss when you
say that people who use plug-ins aren't making music.

smartelectronix.

Oh yeah, I can get some weird sounds out of that.

Turning feedback high and changing pitch on drum beats, with
a bit of delay, and capturing the results...

Why should music be jammed out on instruments to be
considered music anyway?

I love using analog synths and real instruments, but if I
had the programming knowledge or an ability with Max/msp I'd
gladly use that as a tool to create music too. It's still
composition, but merely in a different way.
