I was thinking it would be cool for people to share some of their favorite free VST’s and VSTi’s, especially because a lot of the free ones are, well, garbage.
I was looking for a glitchy vst to get some cool effects to use for transitions and builds, and I came across this VST called “Glitch.” It actually has a variety of effects with a simple control set up and I’ve been getting some real interesting sounds out of it.
And for all the nay-sayers and free-stuff haters, here is a sample of a song I’m working on. At 8 seconds in, you’ll see what I mean (you don’t have to download it, but you might have to disable the sound on that stupid ad):
Edit: Holy Shit! This VST has an effect that I’ve been looking for forever, and I didn’t even know what it was called. If you automate/move the amount of the ‘Crusher’ effect while something is playing, you get this really odd sound. Maaaaaan I’m pumped!
