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

gersic.com - Over 1806 plugins listed.
