POST your favourite 2016 VST/PLUGIN/etc (free vs paid)

[maschinistom]

the year is almost over, time to review VST, plugins and all other software we use to make sound ...

what have you been using most, what is best in sound/features?

for me, since I haven't bought NEUTRON yet which seems amazing, it will be:

free: TDR NOVA


paid: SERUM


looking forward to your posts!

izopte trash has become a standard for my bass', use to use ohmicide but i pretty much combine both now. apart from that, massive is still dishing out new sounds every day

I use reason so my stuff is lame

Just about everything I do goes through, or comes from, these two thing

Been enjoying FM8 this year, FM seems so much more my thing tbh.

Free? I have used this free plugin for years now for dubby sounds... Pretty cool if not a little dated, but its the only free plug i have so...

I've seen some pretty decent basses being done in Thor and some pretty decent dnb done in Reason

Tecnimatic uses Reason!

FM8, Abletons native Operator, Massive and lately Hybrid 3 from AIR which came in one bundle with my MPC.
Classic tools, nothing new

Agreed on serum... Used to love Thor back on reason... thought about rewiring reason into studio one purely to get thor again

I will have to add FABFILTER Pro R to my list. Not cheap but sounds sooo good
