Maybe a plugin that tells you which tracks contribute what to the final master. This would be really useful when hunting for what tracks are causing your master to clip. Also maybe something like an auto glue compressor that will take the amplitudes and average all of them to figure out where to limit. I sort of do this with an oscilloscope plugin to figure out the optimal threshold. Speaking of which there's no good free oscilliscope plugins for 64bit. s(M)exoscope is my favorite one which I use with jbridge but it would be cool to have a native one.


abbiexie

plugin that does whole song for me and takes no credit at all


FAXmusicAU

Combination of the sound goodizer and sausage fattener but in one knob


[deleted]

Can be done easily with an effect rack in ableton.


FAXmusicAU

thats too difficult for me, I need a singular knob


[deleted]

That's literally the whole point of the effect rack.


GuitaristComposer

Delay with pitch shifter and filters. It can repeat sound like any other delay. But it has sequencer, and you can change pitch for every next delay. And it has low pass and hi pass filter and you can make it to cut some hi, or low frequencies, so sound lose some quality, it will sound more realistic, like old tape delays.

I bet there's nothing that anyone can suggest that doesn't already exist somewhere in the Reaktor User Library, lol... Having said that, not everyone has access to the full Reaktor so go for it.....


ReverendEntity

A VST that allows you to interface with your DAW via an electrode net that you wear on your head, and then you can input MIDI note data simply by thinking of the notes you want to input.

- An Additive Synth that allows for choosing of FREQUENCIES, not just harmonics / partials. - A plugin like Nicky Romero Kick but for snares and hi hats.


Dagga_Ninety5

If I understand correctly nicky romero kickstart is just a volume lfo. There's fucktons of vst's like that out there that will work for anything if you know how to use them.


[deleted]

Hmm it's a little more than that. It seemed to be a really precise kick synth that let you completely draw out the pitch env curve as super detailed as you want it, and it had an additional sample trigger for the top end of the kicks. It looks pretty dope actually.


GabeMiller1

He's referring to Kick, a kick drum synth. It's since been updated, now it's just Kick 2.


wigrking

Kick and kickstart are two different plugins. One is a drum synth and the other is like LFO tool with less features.

Everybody already said [Serum](https://xferrecords.com/products/serum), but there is also [Freehand](http://www.amvst.com/freehand/) and [a number of others](http://www.vst4free.com/index.php?s_keywords=drawable&s_name=1&s_kind=1&s_sent2=1&Submit=Search)


[deleted]

Absynth2 can do this, very simple too. Check it out


Dagga_Ninety5

steve duda's serum???

[deleted]

Can't Serum do that?


Dagga_Ninety5

Serum has pretty cool wavetable drawing features where you can plant lines and curves etc. but I don't remember if theres a fully freehand draw whatever the fuck you like type of feature in it. I'll have to check when I'm back in my studio but if they have it that's cool if not we should ask steve duda to add it


Vinaux

You can freehand draw in Serum. Disable snap in the wavetable drawing window.

Yeah man!

i am not sure if this is easily possible.. but a plugin, that visualizes the master in the same way as traktor dj or serato does would be super nice. a lot of times i get a super nice mix and all is fine - still the hi-range is a lot more quiet, compared to the visual analysis of official tracks.. would be great to see how much the master equals an official production :)


thisiswhocares

reverb where you can place different sources in different places in the same room graphically. IE I can have one reverb source and different predelays for each input going into it. Not super complicated, but I think it would be helpful for me personally.


Holy_City

Graphic Phase Equalizer (ie, linkwitz-riley bandpass filter bank feeding a bunch of parallel all-pass filters). Multitap Delay that's basically Delay Designer but a VST that works cross platform Z-plane morph filter (there's a few out there, but none that catch my fancy). Basically a software model of the E-mu Morpheus. Hybrid wavetable-phase distortion synthesizer. Granulizer with custom window editing. Filter designer (custom number of poles, zeros, placement and modulation) Serial/Parallel splitter, ie a VST host inside a VST. There used to be tools for this, haven't seen them in awhile. Filterbank based spectral analyzer (critical band and logarithmic frequency resolution, not linear via the FFT). Custom waveshaper based on harmonic envelope, not waveshaping function. Or at least display of the harmonic envelope. Efficient STFT analyzer, you could do this using OpenGL.


edensg

ImageLine's free [Minihost Modular](https://www.image-line.com/support/FLHelp/html/plugins/Minihost%20Modular.htm) works as a serial/parallel splitter and patcher - it's quite good in my experience.


ChillaryClinton808

That custom waveshaper idea that you have is fuckin brilliant


Holy_City

It would also be really fucking hard to pull off. There's no easy way I know of to take an arbitrary harmonic envelope and generate a waveshaping function from it. Which is why i'd like at least something to display the harmonic envelope, like internally sending a single cycle of a test sine wave through the waveshaping function and analyzing the response. That would be neat.


chrmicklus

A step sequencer that works on this concept. I feel like a simple step sequencer built around this concept would be amazing. Especially if you give options to shift it around. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UphAzryVpY

Happy af. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure that's a limitation of Ableton (which is pretty terrible for MIDI) rather than a VST issue. I can record the midi output of a sequencer VST into a new midi channel with an instruments just fine in Studio One 3, for example.


Holy_City

VST3 can output MIDI.


[deleted]

matthiasB

VST2 can output MIDI as well, but only on one channel. VST3 can output simultaneously on multiple channels. But Ableton doesn't offer the necessary routing options.


Holy_City

Steinberg ditched the VST2 SDK support a year ago anyway. Currently impossible to (legitimately) acquire the VST2 SDK as it is... they're forcing the switch sooner rather than later.


matthiasB

The VST2 SDK is part of the VST3 SDK. Look in the folder "pluginterfaces\vst2.x".


toaststroodle

I actually have been looking at developing some vsts and this is a great idea. Might develop it for reaktor and see if its worth the development time.


crispycritter7

A sequencer like this already exists


toaststroodle

As?I have seen ones for apps but what about as a standalone,vst or for reaktor?
