does anyone know of any good synths for basslines n such, that resemble cakewalks z3ta at all?? i used t use a pc but switchd to mac, n massive n the usual just arent doin it, dont get me wrong i love massive but it doesnt have tht edgey sound tht z3ta had. any ideas? cheers pzx
any synths that sounds like its from the 80s, there are quite a lot of them out there for free, but there is so much shit out there its nearly impossible to know what to get. but i did a thread on DOA about 80s sounding vsts and got quite a few good replies, here ill go see if i can find it ---------- Post added at 17:03 ---------- Previous post was at 16:54 ---------- doa is down right now. im sure youll find your way though. its all about resampling anyway.
I quite like Rob Papen synths. Predator has that Rave kind of quality to it. Somehow I manage to create the biggest stabs or what ever when I fire it up.
Sylenth1 is a banger for edgey leads, Albino 3 is definately worth the money too, Also these are pretty worthy of the free download, Download the suite pack at the bottom of the page though http://www.earthsidemassive.com/blog/audio-tutorials/itchy-synth-overdose-suite-vstis-omfg/
Im guessing nobody uses Nexus in the DnB scene? http://refx.com/products/nexus/summary/ V-station is a fat little synth http://www.novationmusic.com/products/software/v_station
big man with your biggest stabs. show and prove hot shot! and yes predator is bloody amazing. nothing on the freeware side even comes close. but like i said with a little resampling you can come a long way
Yes, yes, yes - as far as free products go I must say Togu Audio Line (TAL) has some of the best free stuff I've come across! Noisemaker is awesome!
I just use Sytrus or 3xosc for everything. Hit shit up with some drive, a little delay and a fat filter and you're good to go.
I agree with Kama, anything by rob papen is solid gold in my opinion. Predator for the synth stabs and leads, albino 3 for the monster basses and blue for some nice ambience
can i add on a question..? is there such a thing as a free mac VST host that i could run massive etc in? reason user innit.
there are standalone vsts hosts, i specifically remember toby (of toby plugs or similar) writing one (pluggo i think it was?) but i have no idea if they got it for mac, id be shocked if they even had notepad for mac tbh but from what i understand you can use a wrapper in logic on a mac, to run vsts, as it were.
ok thnx 4 all tht guy i already hav n use massive, albino 3 n predator, is ther a gud/safe way of using pc based software on a mac, wot is bootcamp like? I jus basically want t use z3ta.
Ok, Z3ta is ok, but why the hell would you want to use that, when you have the likes of Massive, Albino and Predator! Personally I think any three of those synths are better than Z3ta........although that is only my opinion.........
