51m0n Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Nice one! I love free vsts, cant get enough of them, some really interesting and cool sounding stuff out there if you go looking far enough. Quality can be a bit hit and miss (just like with the less free stuff IMO), but there are some absolute gems to be found.... Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velvetkevorkian Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 There should be a folder where your DAW program is installed called VSTs or something similar- copy and paste the .dll files you've downloaded into that folder. Next time you open up your DAW you should be able to select the VSTs. If you can tell us what DAW program you're using someone might be able to tell you how to find the exact folder if need be.

TDM Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 The DAW is the program you use to do your recording in. Eg. Cubase, Pro Tools, Logic, Reaper etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tait Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 i don't suppose there's any chance of having this pinned so people can post links to free VSTs they like and its always just there for reference? i love free VSTs, take for example my favourite in the link the OP posted, the cosmogirl II. its a great sound, lots of fun to play with, but i wouldn't want to pay for it because i'm never really gonna use it in an actual song.

xgsjx Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 If you google KVR Audio, you'll get their site & it has tons of vsts & aus etc as well as other audio stuff. I'll get the link later as I haven't got the facilities to get it just now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raslee Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Do VST's work in Apples Logic or does it have to be AU's only ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 In theory you can use a VST to AU wrapper utility to get VSTs to work in Logic. However the main one of these hasn't been updated for some time and even then they only work with Macintosh VSTs written for the appropriate processor (Intel or PPC). Unfortunately on the whole it's more trouble than it's worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
