10 Paid Plugins Actually Worth Buying

What plugins do you have that were most worth the investment? 🤔

Pro-Q 3. That’s it.

The goat 🐐 🤘

"Knob Cloud" sounds like a pron category.

How do you feel about Falcon now since it's new 2.8 update???
Did they improve any of the downsides you've mentioned in this video???

Native Instruments Kontakt, with its massive selection of libraries, import and export capabilities, and complete versatility and sound quality/ ease of use is by far my go-to plugin that I just can't compose/produce without.

These are all free plugins

which vocoal plugin did you use for vocals?

What a voice, boy!

For me, it's the Reason Rack VST3. That makes life worth living for me 😂

The only plug-ins I regret not buying sooner are the fab filter line up. Yes the entire line up minus their synths. I’ve been able to craft more mixes fast with fab and in a way that people notice without knowing why it sounds better.

finally a good and informative video.

I am in a tough spot because I really like the slate bundle and I really like a lot of soundtoys stuff however, I am all done with Ilok. I’m tired of the stupid dongle hogging up the USB port I’m tired of the Pace license manager not finding a license even though I’ve owned the thing for 10 years. Soundtoys you can transfer the license to your computer unfortunately Slate doesn’t let you do that with all their plug-ins, so I canceled my subscription.

Take a shot everytime you hear "modulation" or any variations of that.

what a nice deep voice dude

I bought the AHM 5050 amp sim from audio assault for about 10€ on sale. And it was the best purchase I ever made for music. I've never owned a real amp and having some great presets in that suite really helped just play guitar and only mess with the tone when I am trying to get a tone rather than develop a musical idea. It nails the standard metal rhythm chug sound. Pretty satisfying to lay down a riff and develop section around it.
I never could dial in the free amps quite like that even though more experienced people get really good tones out of free stuff all the time.

bruh am i the only one who thinks his voice is like audible chocolate to my ears, holy jazz testicles

Nice

Just bought Eventide Blackhole (on special for $29) as thats a bargain!! Love the space it creates.

wtf voice

Replicant is similar but not as good as Sector on iOS.

You are so underrated bro keep up the great work!

synths..not plugin video.

first of all, nice dubbing

Hahaha!!
I watched this video when it came out, but somehow I missed the “Hairy Anthony Fantano,” gem you slipped in to the intro.
Great video mang. I agree, learn your tools before you get new ones.
That said ;) I love PhasePlant (I’ve bought a few snap ins now, which work great in a Bitwig workflow as well), WavesFactory Cassette and Spectre are both great too!
I also will always use VCollection, and Bitwig’s modulators really add a level of complexity to sound design with simplistic plugins like SEM V or Jup8 V.
One more: for glitch, Output’s Portal is great, if you’re willing to dig deeper into the flashy interface. It’s overpriced, but deep, and the Verbs and Granular engine sound Gorgeous!

Everything is so 2d sound. I need surround toolz!

I bought Voltage Modular Ignite last night. It's ten bucks now for this 45-module pack at PluginBoutique right now. I've been playing with the free version for a while (and bumped into your training videos over there, awesome helpful stuff!) and it sounds great!

The only paid plugin I have that I'll kill to keep is the Waves L1. There's magic in the code of the original L1 limiter and you can slam it hard, and back down to taste, or put two mild instances in series and just love life. I use it sparingly when nothing else will do the trick and it rarely if ever has let me down.

Hey, how are you? Asking as a friend. Latest release is DARK. Just saw your label name, still laughing 😅

Baby lock the door and turn the lights down low

Rapid Synth is something Ive been keeping my eye on for a while.
I'll definitely save up and look out for sales on that synth.

Thank you for your efforts.

this list deserves to have the new VCV rack 2.0 on it. its so powerfull its unbelieveble!

oh man. this stuff is so crazy. Like you had said in the beginning though...understand what you have and be able to judge what you really need. These are some amazing sounds though...wow. what a great time to be alive!

New Year's Resolution 2021:
-Watch this video
-Stop visiting r/AudioProductionDeals
-Turn off notifications from Plugin Deals on twitter

Yeah, I'm gonna fail again.

New to knobcloud, what a great idea! And when you talk about audio, you should always sound good like this guy! Good job Harry Anthony!

Just watched the vid - I guess ‘favourites’ speaks to your preferred type of sound output workflow - Enjoyed the ‘Rapid’ section and I’ll definitely check it out. Couple that weren’t mentioned and are really useful IMO - Reaktor - Insanely complex but sounds fantastic, SynthMaster 2 for slightly unusual but also rich and useable presets which can be easily tweaked, and for really quick vanilla type sounds I like the AiR products - eg Hybrid for clean stuff, Loom 2 additive digital sounds. For my more experimental stuff - again Reaktor, also Glitch machine plugs- all are brilliant, and the Melda plugs. Love the honesty of your vids Cameron - I’ll be joining the Patreon - All the best.

Yo Dude. You are so ‘speaking my truth’ in this one - especially the ‘didn’t know my plug-ins well enough to know any better’ line. So many of my plugs fall into this category ;-)

Seven minutes and 50 seconds sounds like a Bruce falconer score from dragon ball Z

Couldn’t Bitwig modulate Replicant 2 filters? I think so?

knob cloud ... WTF!

No wonder you sound so good. PSP multiband compressor was my go to plug in for years, + BBE Sonic Maximiser for voice.

ahahah what a crazy voice

ahah mornin vodka n shits

👏👏👏👍👍👍

As you can have seen through my comments perhaps... The main "plugin" that was worth the most investment is Komplete. As in: it was just a bit more than buying Kontakt. And then you get Studio Drummer as well. Classic Piano Collection. Vintage Keys. And that was just when I bought Komplete 8. 13 is out. I'm at 12 now, but over the years I've just paid € 168,50 to go from 8 through 9 to 12. With that a small tip (besides make use of deals): see if you can skip an update or two, that way you can save a lot of money as well.

I got S.I.R. convolution reverb for free. I absolutely love it, and found a zillion IRs for it. I even made a few home made ones for it.

Whenever YT randomly shows me one of your videos, I watch it and then fire up some DAW and start making music. Thanks for that. I do like Izotope's vocal synth to mess with the vocals I get from text to speech programs.

WhatEVER you do... do NOT give up!

I have this strange gift where I can predict when people are going to be majorly successful with their talent. 🔮

It's weird....I know..... lol

Brent Smith from Shinedown, 10 Years, Marren Morris, Seven Dust, Nickleback, & Stone Temple Pilots, are just a few of the acts that I knew would hit it big in the entertainment industry...

I'm only leaving this super odd comment - in the small chance that you may be feeling down on yourself for whatever reason.... because I'm telling you, brother... you have the BEST broadcasting voice I've heard since I first heard Howard Stern!

I know you're a producer and musician too... but my God, man! You have an AMAZING VOICE for TV/FILM & Radio/Podcasting!

Do you sing too? If you do I bet you're a badass singer.


Ok.. that's all. 🤓
