30 Years of VST: Are The Classics Still Useful?
from Audionautic | Covering the Latest in Music Production, Marketing and Technology · host Audionautic
Steinberg is celebrating 30 years of VST by bringing back a collection of its classic early plugins, so we've downloaded them and we're going to see what they're actually like to use today.We'll be demoing the sounds, having a play with the instruments and effects, and talking about what these early VSTs were actually useful for.But rather than just looking at them as pieces of music-production history, we're interested in whether the limitations of these old plugins might actually be interesting today.Do simple instruments make you work differently? Have modern plugins become too complicated? And are there sounds in these early VSTs that we'd still happily use in a track?We'll be putting them through their paces and seeing what still holds up after 30 years of VST.The Synthesis COOP has a new LP out, check it here:https://tscoop.bandcamp.com/album/the-synthesis-co-op-volume-oneThanks to our Patrons who support what we do:Audionauts: Abby, Bendu, David Svrjcek, Josh Wittman, Paul Ledbrook, Matt Donatelli and Stephen SetzepfandtLars Haur - Audionaut ProducerJonathan Goode - Audionaut ProducerCheck out the new release from Sunwarper here:https://sunwarper.bandcamp.com/album/signal-fragmentsJoin the conversation:💌 [email protected] 🐤 Twitter @Audionautic📸 Instagram: @audionauticsounds📡Discord: https://discord.gg/kBxXb8pjaSunwarper: https://sunwarper.comKh3rtis: https://kh3rtis.com
