Author Topic: VST dictionary or map to select the right plugin for the job  (Read 37 times)

Hi everybody,

I have a noob question but seems like either I am missing something (like the dict/map of the title) or it is a daunting task to find the correct plugin for a particular result.
The context of my need: I wanted to do a small project to take a piece of melody and remix it in a complete different style. The original being a simple piano part, I thought that it would be just a question of playing it with the new rhythm of the variation, adding some rhythmic ref and polish it.
My problem is: I know what type of sound I need (some synth, some textured bass beats) but I have no clue which of the gazillion VST plugins should help. And even choosing a music style is getting me closer to which list of plugins would be applicable.
Hence my question: is there any source of information where I could use a music style or artist and get a list of VST plugins I could use to get relevant sounds ?

Thanks in advance for your guidance and sorry if I am taking the problem from the wrong end.

  • just a number

the idea that certain software is targeted to a certain style of music is probably not a very widespread idea.

yout best bet is to ask for suggesttion for the concrete case. if you describe what you are looking for it will be easy to recommend something.

alternatively you could install the ca. 40 commercial, polyphonic instruments and then go for trial and error.
