I am a confessed VST junkie. I have a zillion VSTs on my computer (and even lead a tribe dedicated to ferriting out ever new ones at tribe.net called the AudioPluginJunkiesAnnonymous). I usually only have a hand full installed (or selected) in FLStudio 6.0 which is my DAW drug of choice because i have discovered that one can waste a hell of a lot of time going through a zillion VSTs or even trying to remember the idiosyncratic name of one you've used before. In my folders on my computer I have them categorized to more quickly find them. As an example I have: COMPRESSOR plugins MODULATION plugins DISTORTION plugins SLICING plugins REVERB plugins CONVOLUTION plugins EQUALIZATION and TUNING plugins LO FI plugins PANNING plugins UTILITIES (with things like phase reversal, fourier analysis, spectrum analysis, et. al.), GRANULATION plugins PLUGIN SUITES (in case I remember that I want a TC electronics parametric equalizer---my favorite or a Waves True Verb---my second favorite behind Sony Acoustic Mirror. DELAY plugins GATE plugins VOCODING plugins and another folder that is my favorite and that I call my WEIRD PLUGINS folder What I find is that in thinking about processing something (unless I"m going for some weird randomization stuff which is one of the amazing thing about the new HIPNO plugins from Cycling 74) I generally have an idea what kind of processing I"m looking for and then it is good if I, for example, can go through several tube amplifier simulations quickly to decide what it is that I want to use. My only pet peeve with FLStudio right now is that I wish to hell it had a VST organizing system instead of the alphatized system I have now. There are many plugins by people like excellent shareware suites from TobyBear and FXPansion and the freeware collections from TweakBench, Darkware, XOXOX and others that have idiosyncratic names that it is frequently hard to remember. I also have a whole slew of VST instruments as well, from some paid ones to a hell of a lot freeware ones............wow I scored last night with some ones that are not even available anymore. I'm particularly in love with weird old organ sounds (not B3s and not Farfisas) and less popular electric piano sounds (as well as very idiosyncratic and one trick pony keyboards like the Hohner D6 Clavinet, the Wurlitzer Electric Piano, Celestes, et. al. ***************************** come join me at AUDIO PLUGIN JUNKIES ANNOYMOUS at tribe. e-mail me off list and i'll send you a personal invite. It's free to join and they don't give out any information so it is safe. Also, I sell a very inexpensive DVD with all of this stuff collated and organzized if anyone wants to contact me off line about it if you don't want to take the 6 years it took me to get it all together. I just charge for the time and expense it takes me to assemble, burn, package and mail it. I'm at rickwalker(at)looppool(dot)com.
