I have a dry guitar track and just for kicks I am going to run it into a software emulator. I also want to apply high/low pass filtering and a separate EQ plug for EQ editing/sweetening. What order would you use or do you think would be the most effective and why?

Hey, I was just wondering what VST's you all use for straight in guitar sounds, especially distorted effects, and what you'd recommend? I have one which is decent, but it lags my computer like nothing else when I put it on multiple guitar tracvks, and it's not ideal for every song I'm doing, it's a bit heavy overdrivey. Thanks for the input!

Can anyone recommend a good, free electronic drum VST? Something along the lines of like a Roland Drum machine or something that would be good for ambient music. thanks

Hi guys thanks for reading this is my first post here. I use Pro Tools and Ableton. I am new to the mixing process and trying to learn. To aid in mixing, I was hoping to find a decent frequency analyzer to help me understand notching EQs and so on.

I'm using Cubase SX 3, and when I open my VST instruments panel, for example, I'll have Tone2 Firebird open, and RCGAudio's Z3TA open, and I'll have a certain synth selected which I'll be using for a midi track. When ever I stop the track from playing back, and playback from the beginning, the VSTi automatically resets the preset it was using to the default preset.

Hi guys,
I am having some trouble lately with my sound, especially in the VST area.
My midi sounds from my Alesis D4 and from my Roland JV playback fine, but my VST's have a crackling noise in the playback. I can't figure out where the problem comes from, do you have any idea?
My setup is a
AMD Athlon X2, 2.8Ghz, 2 GB RAM, Windows XP Pro SP3
Cubase SX3

Can anyone tell me a good free piano vst, or would it be wiser to just go ahead and invest in a good one?

I have a Tascam-US 144, Triton extreme, and running Cubase le.

I have no problem getting MIDI from triton to play/record on Cubase or getting VST instruments to work. But I do have some questions.

Hello all,

I have Cubase VST 5 on PC with a PCI-324 card
MOTU 2408 and an Alesis LX20 ADAT.

I want to connect them all together.

I have the optical connected between IN/OUT of ADAT and 2408

I have Firewire to the to 2408 from PC.

Who makes the best VST Delay?
