Must Have Vst Plugins For Hip Hop
Free VST Plugins FX for Hip-Hop (the MUST haves) It's cheap, doesn't always look good GUI wise, can be buggy (not according to my experience though), but it's tested & approved by monkeys: PS: Some are MAC & PC, other PC Only. SugarBytes Effectrix. Why SugarBytes Effectrix? This is one of the top-plugins being used right now. Best Free Vocal VST Plugins (Hip Hop) Proximity by Tokyo Dawn Labs and Vladg Sound Made for “KVR Audio Developer Challenge” (an audio plugins, applications and Soundware competition), this awesome VST plugin should mostly be at the top of the channel`s strip not only on vocals, but on basically anything. Best Stock VST Plugins For Mastering Hip Hop As with drums, you don`t have a lot options for best VST factory plugins for Mastering. You have Maximus and Multiband Compressor. Both are equally important, but what`s even more important, is that you understand the basic role of mastering first. Software plugins (VST) do a great job of emulating the sound of the devices that have shaped music. If you’re putting together a home studio, this is not going to be ideal. Instead, software plugins (VST) do a great job of emulating the sound of the devices that have shaped music.
- Xfer Records Serum. Serum is one of the most in-demand wavetable synthesizers currently on the.
- While I’m writing this the plugin is on sale for €26.10 (which is 64% off) so feel free to check out if this offer is still available. Aberrant DSP SketchCassette. SketchCassette is a VST inspired by 4-track cassette recorders. It comes with most features the other plugins in this list have.
Here is my top 10 of the must have plugins for music production when you are starting out in 2021!
Before I start, I name not only VST plugins but also AU plugins for windows and mac.
Most of the plugins are cross platform.
10 Sylenth 1
My first plugin on the list is a pretty popular synthesizer.I`m not counting the factory presets as the best, but you can make your sound from scratch or change the presets to your liking or buy a preset from Splice for example.
9 Pro-R
The first (and not the last) plugin of Fabfilter of this list.This is the reverb plugin from Fabfilter. It’s not as popluar as Valhalla Reverb for example, but I think it’s a good one.
You can target certain frequencies with the built in equalizer which is really handy.
Yes, you can see what is happening so you get more feeling with your reverb sound.
8 Pro-C
The compressor from Fabfilter. Also with this plugin you can see on the screen what is happening with your sound.Super useful for beginners.
If you have trouble understanding what a compressor does and what it`s influence is on the sound, the fabfilter pro C is your guy!
You can target certain frequencies with the build in equalizer and even hear a preview of that.
7 Quikquak pitchwheel
This is just a cheap and simple plugin to pitch up or down.In combination with automation this is ideal for making risers in buildups.
It may be not the best sounding plugin, but it will do the job just fine.
But the speed in which the plugin reacts to automation could be improved.
6 Spire
This one is pretty popular amongst electronic music producers.If you are scared by all the knobs I have another alternative down in this list.
The presets are ok, but not superb. if you want better ones you can buy them from Splice for example.
5 Kick
Make kicks with Kick.This is a pretty inexpensive plugin to shape your kick any way you like.
And also in key with your song.
It is also possible to select a click sound as top kick.
4 LFO tool by Xfer Records
The low frequency oscillator tool is mostly used for the pumping effect with 4 to the floor beats.But it can do much more than that.
If you want only the side chain pumping effect, Kickstart is pretty popular and easier to use, but has less features.
One of the plus sides of the plugin is that you can totally shape the LFO any way you like.
3 Pro-L
This is the limiter of Fabfilter is in one word amazing.It`s clean, it`s simple and probably the most used limiter plugin on earth.
See everything is (again) the major strength of this plugin.
2 Pro-Q
The equalizer of Fabfilter is just plain brilliant.Again, you see everything what the plugin does.
It`s easy to configure, user friendly and very pleasing to the eye.
You can freeze the waveform so you can see in detail what is going on, preview frequencies and even choose the algorithm if you run into unintended artifacs.
1 Serum
And then the last plugin on my favorite plugin of all time.Serum by XFer records is an wavetable synthesizer, a wavetable meaning that your waveform can change over time.
The power of serum is amazing, so much you can do, change and create with Serum.
Also this plugin visualizes the sound, so it`s very easy to understand what is going

Just drag and drop a chord in your timeline.
CDJ 2000 Course
Complete CDJ 2000 video training for pro and beginnerWhat's up, everybody? Aaron here with R-Loops & TheDrumBank to discuss the Top 10 VST Instrument Plugins for Hip Hop music. This includes hip hop, rap, trap & RNB. Some of these I personally use and can vouge for. Others were recommended by some of my producer friends. These are in no specific order.
Xpand!2
This is one I personally use very often. Xpand!2 has a good balance between real instruments & digitally created sounds. Its packed with over 2500 presets sorted into 29 categories for easy navigation. Instruments include pads, synth, percussive, guitar, acoustic & electric piano, vocals, bells, organs, strings & more. Its a multitimbral workstation with 4 active sound slots. This allows you to layer multiple presets to give you the ultimate sound.
Massive
This is another I have in my personal collection & its a game changer. With over 1300 presets, there's not a sound you cant find within Massive. And being the ultimate synthesizer that is is, you can literally manipulate the sound in almost any way imaginable. Also a multitimbral workstation, it's easy to generate the perfect sound.
Kontakt
Kontakt is an instrument player that runs all NI Kontakt Instruments as well as instruments from 100s of other companies. Although Kontakt is a God among Plugins when you purchase expansions, you can even find great value from its core library. It's loaded with great live instruments, loops & effects.
Omnisphere
This plugin has blown up in the last couple of years. It's packed with over 14,000 inspiring sounds to get you started. You can even import your own audio and use it as your sound source! Mix that with the 57 different effect units & the possibilities are limitless. This allows you to create your own instrument/preset within omnisphere and ensuring you sound original.
Nexus
Depending on the package you get, you can get anywhere from 2250 presets with 13GB of samples up to 16000 presets with 130GB of samples. This is a MAJOR game changer for anyone who is willing to invest! It also has 119 appregiator presets & 95 effect presets. You could make fire forever with this single plugin!
Sylenth
This was recommended to me by a producer friend of mine. While I was a little scpetic at first, once I have seen it in action, it won me over. Much like some of the others on this list, the ability to layer your sounds within the synth is a huge bonus. Its also no to pricey, to begin with at 139 euros but you can also pay monthly if necessary.
Absynth
Absynth is definitely for somebody who likes the more trippy & spacey sounds. That includes me so I love Absynth. Packed with over 1800 atmospheric presets, you can take your listeners on a journey through time & space. They also have a cool 'Mutate' feature that randomly adjusts the effects & modulation of a sound to give you something completely new each time!

Serum
Serum is a wavetable synthesizer that allows you to view presets, or import your own audio, in a way you never have. This visual and creative workflow can make even most tedious sound design fun & entertaining. It has 455 presets & 144 different wavetables to help you maximize your creativity & design.
Reaktor
Reaktor is another instrument player from NI. While kontakt focused more on real instruments, reaktor focuses on synths & digital audio. Reaktors factory library has over 70 instruments for you to get started with. You can also share & download your created instruments & presets with the Reaktor community. This can help give you endless inspiration in the studio.
Keyscape
This plugin is home to the largest collection of keyboards in the world! With over 620 different piano patches, you will definitely be able to find your itch. Keyscape is also fully integratable with Omnisphere so you can take your piano creations to a whole nother universe!
