What are the absolute top VSTs out there. Mainly used for live DJ sets, but useful ones for music production would be good too. Already been recommend NI's Massive.
Also, anyone got any pointers towards setting up quality effect racks in Ableton?
I'll be controlling it with a VCI-100 (crossfade, volumen, loops, sampler), Launchpad (launching clips mainly) and LPD8 (effects) so I'll have plenty of assignable controls for the effects.

Do you have Ableton suite? If you do then suite already comes with a whole bunch of excellent effect racks under the Audio Effect/Audio Effect Racks folder.
There is even a sub folder in there for performance and DJ.
I'd definitely look into that before getting more VSTs.

I do have Suite yes, and glad I asked now before scouring VSTs! Only just beginning to look into using Ableton as a live tool so I'll look into the effect racks you noted. Cheers!

To be honest, you don't really need VSTs for DJing. Sure they're nice to have, but kind of a novelty.

I want them to be a bit creative with my set. Wanna have sweeping filters, stutters, beat repeat, beat masher etc and was looking for VSTs that are useful in a live arena mainly.
