Recommended Plugins for Beginners

View Course

With the amount of different third party plugins available, which ones will be the most useful if you’re a beginner starting on this journey?

Well, Protoculture’s here to share his view on a few plugins that could help you progress and learn how to get your tracks sounding more professional. Every DAW comes with stock plugins that will get you most of the way there, so in this video, Nate has focussed on plugins that either out-perform your stock plugins or will give you a multitude of plugins in the one package, giving you great value for the money spent.

Do you agree with Nate? Do you have any other recommendations for beginners that helped you leap ahead in your production game when you started your journey?

These are very good choices Mr , especially the Cableguys plugin, which alone replaces a huge number of plugins. Congratulations on Claro, I wouldn’t have thought of it, it avoids buying Analogue plugins like I did.
2024 won’t be a good year for plugin vendors with me.

Thank you for the video,

For the time being I am using Utility (or AutoPan etc.) combined with Shaper in Ableton to get the effects of ShaperBox.

As a matter of fact I am asking myself if we have Shaper in Ableton do we really need ShaperBox? What is the real plus, I mean is there anything that the Ableton Shaper cannot do that ShaperBox can?

And as an alternative to stock effects I downloaded Melda Free FX pack, which also has some analysis tools.
