Our choices are spread across 12 categories, and you can consider this the best of the best.
No doubt about it, plugins sit at the very heart of the software-based studio, and in this round-up, we’ll reveal - in our opinion - the finest virtual instruments and effects money can currently buy.
#BEST VIRTUAL INSTRUMENTS FOR MAC PRO#
Ultimately, your choice of DAW will determine which format(s) you can use - for example, Cubase only supports VST, Logic Pro only works with Audio Units, and Ableton Live plays ball with both (on Mac). These days, most virtual instruments and effects are released in VST, AU and AAX formats, with a few still arriving in the ageing RTAS, but the differences between the standards are minor and partly DAW-dependent, so a given instrument or effect will always sound exactly the same - and, largely, operate identically too - no matter which version you use. For this year’s Best of we expanded our search looking for the best strings, winds, brass, percussion and orchestral instruments as well as seeking out the best sound design sample libraries, mixing and mastering effects plugins and VSTs and Omnisphere expansions. Whether you’re after a thoroughly convincing Minimoog or Roland TR-808, a Urei 1176 compressor or a granular sample mangling effect, there’ll be at least a handful of viable options out there to suit your creative needs and budget. AU or Audio Units are software plug-ins developed for the macOS and iOS. There are literally thousands of amazing free and paid-for examples available in both categories, from emulations of pretty much every classic hardware synth and effect unit ever made, to mind-blowing new designs that could never exist in physical form. Over 50 of the best VST plugins to sound like a pro, with an extensive buying.
