Digits is a phase distortion synthesizer inspired by Casio’s CZ series, but also takes that form of synthesis to the limit. Create warm pads, glitchy sounds, dirty basses, filthy sweeps, screaming leads,.
Picking the best VST plugins and virtual instruments for your Hip Hop beats can sometimes be overwhelming. In this short video, I’ve highlighted my Top 5 Go-To Plugins that I use in my personal music production. Hopefully this can offer you some insight to some really great software you may consider for your own music.
Spectrasonics Trilian
Great sounds for creating Hip Hop bass lines! Includes a beautiful combination of synthetic, acoustic and electric bass patches. And really easy to create your own, custom patches as well. Highly recommended!
I’ve also put together a 100% Custom Hip Hop Bass Pack (Download) specifically for authentic production using many of the best sounds from Trilian, Trilogy and other rare bass samples.
Spectrasonics Omnisphere
This is the real deal, by far my favorite vsti plugin! A well-rounded and comprehensive virtual instrument. Includes a wide array of sounds including: various synths, traditional instruments, pads, strings, vocal patches, basses and keyboard to name a few. Excellent lead synths and sound fx!
If you find yourself in need of some fresh sound effects, transition sounds and more really unique one-of-a-kind SFX, I’d also recommend the TCustomz Sound FX Kit (Download 95+ Samples).
Lounge Lizard
One of my oldest plugins. Includes many vintage electric pianos including: various Rhodes sounds, Wurlitzer patches, custom electric piano patches and more!
Guitar Rig
A really dope effects plugin that emulates vintage guitar amplifiers. Works great with a standard guitar signal, but you can create some really unique sounds with lead synths, vocals and more. Don’t be afraid to experiment!
Izotope Ozone
Free Hip Hop Vst Instruments
My go-to, all inclusive mastering plugin. Compression. EQ. Reverb. Harmonic Exciter. Stereo Imaging. Dynamics. This one does it all!
Hopefully this list gives you a better idea of the sounds and vst plugins I am using in my own production.
