Synthesizer VST Plugins
The synthesizers below are some suggestions to get started with your recording studio.
The Synth1 is a free plugin. Plenty producers use this synthesizer in their productions. You can download 1000's of presets and their is a program called Synth1 Librarian that makes searching sounds super easy. This is a great place to start learning synths and how they function. A very practical synth to learn on.
Take a look at the other synthesizers I listed. They are some of the most popular synths used by producers all over the world.
And finally the FREE SYNTHS offer some interesting sounds as well. So from free to very expensive I have compiled a list of my favorites to make it easy to find what your looking for.
