  • Maybe it's time for me to cut down on the VSTs

 Sonar scanned over 670 of them. Good thing I left out the 32 bit VST folder.

I trashed a lot of my old VST's,kept the ones I use the most and now use a lot of Sonar's included plugins,i'm now down to two hundred from about 400 and I couldn't be happier

Dudes!!!
 
I though I had a lot at 211, but looks like I am just an amateur! :-)

I would say my VST plate is plenty full too 939, I think it's pretty safe to say I have a VST habit. I don't feel so bad, I know someone here that has almost double that amount.

Yeah , I know some of you guys can quit anytime you want too
 
Right now I'm actually enjoying the freedom of not having any plugs other than what came with SPlat on my Win 10 machine . In truth I did put Amplitude on there but I haven't touched it other than to see if it installed OK .
I'm really digging all the CA stuff ...it is really nice sounding and it responds as if I'm playing out of an amp

Wow, thanks for the compliment!! It's particularly gratifying because I really wanted the amps to feel responsive.
 
The only comment I'd make is the amps default to being fairly bright, on the assumption that its easy to pull back on the highs but harder to add them where they're not.
 
More are waiting in the wings...

I cut down hugely on the number of vst's I installed on my new box 2 years ago.
 
Apart from the bundled stuff, the only external ones I use now are form T-Racks & Voxengo.
 
Craig, did you have any input on creating the Fx Chains under Modern?
 
I'm turning to them more & more if I want something a little different in my songs.
Whoever did them did a fantastic job

I've been cleaning house too, got it to under 500!

If you have the Waves suite you get around 600 plugins just from there :)
FWIW I've tested with over 1000 plugins and SONAR still does the startup scan in less than 5 seconds for me.

No, all the credit there goes to Cakewalk. I think they were done mostly by Jimmy Landry and/or Dan Gonzalez but they would need to confirm. My gig is to come up with the weird stuff
