Does anyone recommend any web site for 3rd party VST plugins for PT 11? Freebies or paid, doesn't matter.

Thanks!

Hi James,

I've always found vstplanet.com to have a good selection of freebies, generally virus free.

I wish kvr would do more housekeeping. If it's available they likely have it listed, unfortunately they also list a lot of plugins with broken links.
IMO
YMMV
Offer not valid in New Hampshire


I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

You are right rharv,

I've struck a few broken ones as well, but I've come across some good ones too. The Modern plugins are pretty good and the Kjaerhaus Classics as well.
I liked the look of the site better before they changed it though. It's a bit harder to navigate now (at least for me anyway)

Many thanks ROG for the vstplanet.com site. I've just downloaded a couple to try. A good looking site.

Not having much of a technical mind, I hope this isn't a stupid question.

I have in the past tried using Cubase (free version that came with some hardware) but just don't get on with it, however, I did like the way some of the effects are visually presented, EQ in particular, where you can see the band of frequency and pull them up or down to create a visual wave or line graph of your settings. I've also seen similar in the professional studio in Pro Tools.

Are there any free plug-ins that do this that I can use with Power Tracks?

Cheers

Thanks rharv - just what I wanted - got the EQ up and running already!

One question though: When I open the DirectX/VST Window and click on the drop-down choices, all of the effects that have names starting with PG work, as does the new Reaper plug-in, but there are 6 or 7 that come up "Sorry, PowerTracks cannot make connection with..."

This in itself is not a problem as there are more than enough effects for my needs with PG and Reaper, but is there a way I can delete these others from the drop-down menu?

Cheers

On the right side use the exclude option. This will exclude those plugins from the list in the future.
