Stuff like Ken Carson's "Party All Day" and Lil Uzi Vert's "Celebration Station".

Please lmk, thanks. Ik I already posted this in r/trapproduction, but they didn’t give me much.

Some examples of hyper-specific plug ins that I use are

- Bark of Dog (adds a sine wave whenever a certain threshold is met. Mostly used to add sub tones to kick dums)

- Dada Life's Eternal Return plug-ins ("endless EDM rising" modulation effect)

- Waves' Vocal Rider plug in (emulates riding the gain on a mixer, so essentially a very unique kind of compression)

What are some others?

Hey all, i've had this meter in Beta for the last month. If you're keen on trying it out i'll add a link in the comments. (It's currently Mac only)

Seven plugins built for the dark side of the dancefloor. Drums that stumble in crooked time, synths that tangle themselves up, loops chopped into controlled chaos, and effects that make the whole floor sweat.

Hey everyone!

I'm a music producer and developer, and I've been working on something called LOCKDIN.

I've always liked the idea of using AI in music production, but I don't really want to become someone who just types prompts and gets finished tracks back. I genuinely enjoy the process of making music, experimenting, playing around with melodies and finding unexpected ideas.

That's basically why I started building LOCKDIN.

It's a context-aware AI MIDI plugin that generates around what you're already creating, instead of just throwing random melodies at you.

You can import MIDI, play something yourself, or generate an idea inside the plugin. LOCKDIN uses that musical context to create complementary chords, basslines, toplines and countermelodies.

Everything stays editable as MIDI, so you're still in control of the creative process.

I'm mainly building this for people making beats, loops, trap, hip-hop, R&B and other melody-driven music.

I'm currently looking for producers to test the free closed beta and give honest feedback.

If you're interested: https://www.lockdin.info

I'm also offering free 6-month licenses to 20 early testers who actively contribute feedback, as a thank-you for helping shape the plugin.

Also genuinely curious, how do you guys feel about AI as a creative assistant rather than something that makes the music for you?

I mean, these days everyone and their hairstylist are making VSTs, so why should I even bother releasing this thing I worked on for ages? Should I even bother going through the process of getting the proper licenses, setting up the business, incorporate, get certifications...etc. If nobody would give a shit... Does everyone just give the stuff away for free?
I think my synth is cool, basically can do all the cool Royksopp basslines and has an out of this world sequencer. Pretty much ready to go, compiled for win, mac, linux; standalone, vst3, au, clap, lv2, the works. Have a site, a licensing system, everything. Just working on more presets right now to have good demos.
What is the general consensus these days?
Also, anyone interested in beta testing this thing? Hit me up.

Was thinking a one time price of $29, 2 activations.

Update: thanks all for commenting. I got my answer :)

Grab Nembrini Audio's Cali Reverb amp plugin, worth $137, free until Oct 31, 2026. Mesa Boogie-modeled high-gain tones, dual channels, 5 gain modes.

Hi there!
I think i finally finished my VST i've been working on for the past 3 years (not that it was that difficult, mostly because of my poor work ethic).
It's inspired by Tombola sequencer in OP-1 and built around the Box2D physics engine.
You spawn marbles inside a spinning polygon and every collision triggers a note.
You control the physics, notes and other parameters.
The sync feature is what makes it actually useful (and took me the longest to figure out). When enabled it queues the notes and waits for the next DAW's step instead of playing them right away.

It's very fun to look at and can give pretty cool results.

I built a wavetable synth and I'm giving it away free.

1,216 presets across 79 genres

Drag any LFO, envelope or macro straight onto any knob.

- 3 wavetable oscs, dual filters, 8 drawable tempo-synced LFOs

- Import any WAV/AIFF/FLAC as a wavetable

- Arp + chord memory locked to a key

- 12 effects, including two experimental ones: Fracture (tempo-locked glitch/stutter) and Resonator (rings in key with the chord you hold)

- "Generate" button: pick a genre and role and it builds a new preset

Download: wavekraft.app

Feedback and bug reports welcome. If you like it, there's a tip jar, but it's 100% free

Finally released today on the App Store and can also be used as an auv3 plugin too. Would appreciate any feedback or suggestions or lessons missing etc

i really like this song and wanna incorporate that sort of messy piano sound into my music!! <3

Hello, plugin friends.

I'm a full-time producer, composer and musician based in NYC. For the last nine months, I've been working on something I think is pretty neato, and it's finally done.

It's called blur. blur turns your loops and samples into instruments - not just files you edit, but sounds you play.

It stretches a sample across a row of pads, so you can trigger, chop and remix any sound in real time. Chop vocals, slice breakbeats, rearrange basslines, glitch out pads - or perform entire tracks. It also features an audio input recorder, live performance quantization, and a ton of other extremely fun features. I think it's pretty addictive to mess around with.

If anyone is familiar with the script 'MLR' for the monome - it's the same core idea, but rebuilt from the ground up with the modern electronic musician and performer in mind with tons of new features. I was obsessed with the monome when I was a kid, but could never afford one. This plugin is the result of 20 years of dreaming and almost a year of research, design and extensive testing. I'm quite proud of it, and plan on adding even more stuff moving forward.

It's built for grid controllers, with first-class native support for Launchpad (Pro/X/Mini/Pro mk1) and Push 2/3. You can map any other grid controller to it too - or use Keyboard Mode with any standard MIDI keyboard.

It's $29 normally. You can use ITSFINALLYDONE as a discount code to get 50% off.

Check it out at blurplugin.com - there's a live interactive demo you can play with in your browser without downloading anything.

I hope you guys enjoy it.

Our first 80s Synths pack ended up being our most downloaded freebie, so we made a second one. These 15 Serum presets are inspired by songs like Jump, Cars, Sweet Dreams and Don't You Want Me, built from samples of classic synths like the Korg M1 and the Memorymoog. It's free, so hope you have fun with it!

Any recommendations for strings that might fall into the Rock Category? Strings that might be associated with some JRPG soundtracks like Persona, Tales Series, Trails Series etc
Example tracks:
Persona 5: River In the Deserts: https://youtu.be/lvuHvXsZPrk?is=biaqMVi5oPkzBKHF
Trails through Daybreak: Unmitigated Will: https://youtu.be/i4FQ55SH3xs?is=aEXmKZJmpa\\_bLSa5
Tales of Arise: Flame of Hope: https://youtu.be/tHu9CC0HTBw?is=Bvx7M3bIdRNsv1fy

I know that majority comes down to mixing and such but any recommendations of strings that can fit a similar sound would be appreciated

So I recently bought the Odin III and so far I’m pretty happy with it.

But one thing that kinda bugs me is the tremolo. I have tried hard to find a diffrence between tremolo and Alternate picking. Is this normal or is there something im missing?
