So, if you just want a shortcut to pro-quality mixes, watch this free masterclass now: But if you just want to learn about VST Instruments specifically, keep reading. VST Instruments. The better your recordings sound, the better your final mix will be. Which is why VST (Virtual Studio Technology) instruments can level up your songs immediately. The instruments included in this library are; 14 Violins, 10 Violas, 8 Cellos and 6 Double Basses. To be honest, they sound absolutely fantastic, considering it’s free and a bit dated. Getting good sampled strings to sound real is actually hard, and even though these ones don’t sound EXACTLY like the real deal, they come really close.

Free VST Plugins are one of the most exciting things about mixing. In the past it was impossible to imagine that so many quality tools could be available at no cost. Today there are more great free plugins than ever before, but the freeware scene is always changing. Easy access to orchestral sound. Layers is a free orchestral VST instrument, and an easy way to add orchestral sounds to your compositions and productions. Draw from the finest recordings of strings, woodwinds, and brass. Generate full chords with one-touch simplicity. And seamlessly blend layers of tonal colors and dynamics with your MIDI.

SoundFont the brand name that referred to sample-based synthesis in early sound cards to playback MIDI. There was no where near enough data available on disk for an mp3! You needed the sound font stored on your sound card to turn that midi data into a more musical result. Often used in games and later mobile phones they created a generation hooked on general Midi.

Although it was never intended as a way to compose music, the sounds have become classic tools for dance and hiphop producers.

NI’s Kontakt has largely replaced the soundfont and alternatives have sprung up that enhance the concept like ReFX’s Nexus. While they replace the need for soundfonts, they are often expensive investments. Soundfonts are free, can contain hundreds of sounds from orchestral to drums and evoke the past.

We’ve collected an ultimate list of some of the best we could find from around the web so you don’t have to.

You need a VST SoundFont player but most software like FL Studio and Ableton Live already come with one. You can also drop them inside Kontakt too.
