What do you guys think is the best VST Plugin out there(both free and Bought). I'd to know what you guys use and what you think is better.
Some of my fav free plug-ins with links for your convenience:
Clavinet: Big Tick Ticy Clav. You can make some seriously groovy stuff with this one. I love it.
Synth: Big Tick Cheeze Machine. Cheezy smooth synth sounds. Sounds are rather limited, but sometimes that's good.
For fun: Delay Lama. Emulates a singing monk. It's hilarious!

Only a dummy would say that!
Seriously it's the best thing out there - with what else can you create a completely new sequencer, instrument , effect - hell you name it - from the ground up?

Not even in the same league.
I checked out Reaktor once.
And then my brain exploded.

I'd say SampleTank 2 FREE combined with the HQ Free Piano sound. There are several other sounds available for download as well.

No worries anyway - I agree with you - if you're one who thinks that Reason is "a little complicated" then Reaktor is not a good toy for you.

Thanks a lot. I can never find a good piano sound.

Hah, i'm one of those, but i dont care. Reason is the wrong style of sound for me, well not the wrong type of sound, but it doesnt seem to get the style of tones that i want most of the time.
I will get reaktor and learn it, it looks cool as fuck

This man knows his shit
I fucked around with that many a time. Then my trial expired :'(

hmmm... yes, reaktor can be quite processor intensive but 30% is a little high - sounds like it's time for a new chip!
I would suggest lowering the sample rate - it's probably 44100 by default but if you turn that down a bit - try 33075 first, then if it's still eating too much lower it to 29400 - you may need to go as low as 22050 but anything lower than that is gonna start falling apart - unless you're specifically going for that 8-bit sound - if that's the case then drop straight down to 11025 and leave it there.
Hope that helps sweety!
And I concur that ReWire is the shit!
I knew this one dude that used East west samples to compose classical but he was like pro level and shit.
Click here to check it out but you won't be able to afford it
Absynth 3 has some good leads, Steinberg's "The Grand 2" for a good piano sound (although I just mic mine), Groove Agent for drums, Guitar Rig 2/Amplitube for guitar people, Steinberg's "Hypersonic 2" kick's Reaktor's ASS, Sonic Synth 2 is also good. Spectrasonics makes a good one called "Atmosphere." Hell, I have too many VST(i)'s... All the ones I mentioned cost money tho, can't help with free ones. But then again, everything's free from the right merchant.

BwaHAhAHAHAAA....
stop.... heh hahA...no really...pwfTHAhaHa...i can't breath...
HahHAAAHAAHAHAAA
Yeah ... I have Hypersonic, and I'll give you that - it is one of the BEST RomPlers available - but that's all it is... a RomPler
Hypersonic has come truly amazing sounds but that's it... it mixes and plays back pre-existing sample combinations. Sure you can throw a little echo or flange here and there but you compare that to additive, subtractive synthesis, granular resynthesis, analog oscillators, sampling oscillators, more filters, shapers and envelopes than you can shake a stick at as well as the ability to create not just entirely new instruments and effects but entirely new types of all of the above as well...
Hypersonic a sequencer? Hypersonic a vocoder? a drum machine, a live effects processor? Can you decide that you want to add a few oscillators or envelopes to automate just about any and every aspect of the sound?
Don't get me wrong - Hypersonic KICKS ASS ... just not Reaktors ass...

Well, lemme state that again, Hypersonic kick's Reaktor's ass for the type of music I make, lol.

Fair enough man - I'm only breaking your balls anyway :D- Hypersonic does in fact beat some serious booty... I may go ahead and order v.2 - I really liked the first one and I imagine that they could only have improved on the original.
Blue, Z3TA, Rapture, and for FX use Waves if your wallet can take that kind of a hit.
I think: organ: vstplugins.com
and Brass: DSK Brass.
They are both quite easy to use, and FREE.

still the grande's piano sound is unmatched - and then you rewire it all together with reason and a few other things and you got unsurpassed sound :P
Unsurpassed sound? Perhaps compared to soundfonts, but in all honesty, Garritan is not much above Reason's Orkester samples, which are marginally better than soundfonts.
For real unsurpassed sound, take a look at the VSL Symphonic Cube. $5000 and 550 GB of orchestral samples! And that's just the basic version, their "pro" version was going for $14,000 just a few months ago.
What Garritan does offer, though, is a great bang for the buck.
I'm not sure for the other sounds like techno and trance and Drum & Bass. But I know that if you like any instruments in a band or orchestra then you'll like Edirol

Check out soundcloud.com/echozaurora for more recent songs and DJ mixes!
Padawan by tweakbench is incredible! i use it in many of my songs.
As previously mentioned, Reaktor is supposedly the best, I mean, I haven't tried it, but I should sometime.
