17 Sites to Get Tons of Free Vst’s
Here is a list of sites where you can get tons of free Vst’s. It may take some time to pick and choose what you want on these sites, but the free sounds are worth the effort.
For those who do not know. Vst’s are plugins that are virtual instruments. For example: Synth, organ, piano, etc. They can be used with software such as Cubase, FL Studio, Sonar, and more.
Note: I suggest you come up with a plan right away on how you want to organize these vst’s. So the really good ones don’t get lost in a folder of hundreds.
Here is a great tutorial on installing Vst’s in FL Studio by NFX @ Warbeats.com – Warbeats Tutorial – Installing VST plugins

- amvst.com – Freeware synth.

This is an awesome list bro! I’m going to have to do some digging later. The best thing, with FXPansion’s VST to RTAS wrapper they become compatible with Pro Tools too!

Thank you so much for this list. I love free vsts. Most of the beats I make use atleast one free vst. Its amazing how these little gems can be looked over simple because they are free. Often times free can be more valuable than paid!
