Howe To Use Vst Plugins On Studio One

07-03-2021 by

VST stands for Virtual Studio Technology. There are three types of VST plug-ins:

  • VST instruments: These plug-ins generate audio and are either virtual synthesizers or samplers. Many VST instruments emulate the appearance and sound of famous hardware synthesizers. Popular VSP instruments include Massive, FM8, Absynth, Sylenth 1, Reaktor, Gladiator, Vanguard, and Omnisphere.
  • VST effects: Effects process audio instead of generating it. VST effects function like hardware audio processors, like reverbs and phasers.
  • VST MIDI effects:MIDI plug-ins process MIDI messages and send MIDI data to other VST instruments and hardware.

VST Plug-ins

Plugins

VST plug-ins can be used within a digital audio workstation, in programs like Pro Tools and Logic. They’re frequently used to emulate hardware outboard gear such as compressors, expanders, equalizers, and maximizers. You'll frequently find these distributed to emulate certain models of hardware; there's some for vintage compressors, and you'll frequently find effects that emulate vintage hardware (both in instrumental and stompbox-like effects).

In Studio One you simply load Melody Sauce as a VST channel onto its own MIDI track, and then route the outgoing MIDI from this channel to another channel with your chosen software instrument track. If you are trying to load your Waves plugins in Studio One but you cannot find them, follow these instructions in order to make the plugins available. 3758b9b5-045c-4b7d-b020-80f9b068d990 07:10 AM EST. Mac OS X users: From within Studio One n avigate to Preferences/Options/ Locations/VST Plug-ins Click on the Add button, and specify the location of your plug-in. You can also drag-and-drop any folder from the Explorer/Finder into the Locations list in Studio One.

Think of VST plug-ins as really affordable ways to make your home studio sound like a really expensive commercial operation.

VSTi Plug-ins

Aside from VST plug-ins, you'll also find VST-instrument or VSTi plug-ins. These can emulate really cool, but expensive, hardware (like Hammond B3 and Nord Electro). The quality of these VSTi plug-ins can vary from acceptable to really poor; it all depends on the quality of your system resources (RAM and scratch space on your hard drive, for example), and how well-sampled the instrument is. You also want to make sure that your VSTi plug-in offers true polyphonic content, meaning you can make life-like chords that don’t sound too artificial.

Quality

How To Use Vsts

There are thousands of plug-ins available. Some only take a few hours to produce and are free, but the quality is terrible. Some are made by huge companies and sound amazing, but are expensive. VST plug-in developers try to recreate the sound as closely as possible, but the original instrument is probably always going to sound better than the plug-in. You might be trying to get the rich, full-bodied sound of an organ, for example, but who owns an organ? No one has access to every type of instrument, so a plug-in will have to do. The good news is that VST plug-in technology is improving, so quality can only get better with time.

VST Plug-in Standard

Created by Steinberg, a German musical software and equipment company, the VST plug-in standard is the audio plug-in standard that allows third-party developers to make VST plug-ins. Users can download VST plug-ins on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. The vast majority of VST plug-ins are available on Windows. Apple’s Audio Units are standard on Mac OS X (it’s actually considered a competing technology), and Linux lacks commercial popularity, therefore few developers create VST plug-ins for the operating system.

Where to Find VST Plug-ins

There are thousands of VST plug-ins available, both commercially and as freeware. The Internet is flooded with free VST plug-ins. Home Music Production and Bedroom Producers Blog have robust lists of VST plug-in recommendations, and Splice and Plugin Boutique also offer a ton of free plug-ins.

How to use multiple outputs with multi-output instruments in Studio One.

You will be able to route plugins like Kontakt to separate tracks in Studio One which will allow you to use different plugins on each sound for example.

Using Multi-Outputs is also very helpful when using drum plugins. You can route each drum from your VSTi to a different track and then use any plugins you want for each drum and mix the same way you would if you had recorded your drums to different tracks live.

With your Multi-Output plugin loaded, open your Mix page

Click ‘Instrument’ in the side bar

Click the drop down for your VSTi and choose ‘Expand’
