WHAT IS THE BEST VST/RTAS ?
HI,
I AM A PROFESSIONAL PRODUCER...
I NEED TO KNOW WHICH VST HAS THE KILLER SYNTHS!!!!
IF YOU HEARD THE ROLAND FANTOM, I LIKE THOSE KINDS OF SYNTHS
THE AUTHENTIC SYNTHS HEARD IN HIT SONGS....
I USE FL STUDIO, PRO TOOLS, REASON & KONTAKT, AS WELL AS SEVERAL VST'S LIKE THE HYPERSONIC 2, KORG LEGACY, FM8, ETC...
IVE TRIED ALL OF THESE AND NONE OF THEM COME CLOSE TO THAT FANTOM OR ANALOG KEYBOARD SOUND.... BUT I KNOW THERE IS A VST THAT CAN.
IF ANYONE KNOWS OF A KILLER SYNTH VST OR RTAS, PLEASE INFORM ME ON WHICH ONE(s)....(NOT THAT MONO DOI'NG DOI'NG SOUNDING CRAP).
I HEARD THEY HAVE ACTUAL ROLAND FANTOM, MOTIF AND TRITON- VST'S EDITOR PLUGINS.... (DOES ANYONE HAVE THESE)
I AM NOT A NOOB AND AM WILLING TO SHARE MANY OF MY SECRETS AS WELL.
SERIOUS PEOPLE RESPOND ASAP, THANX 
Roland sound is great and that's hard to find some software that can sound "in the face" like Rolands do. Based on my experience, I can point you on Native Instruments Reaktor, but you need to spend a lot of time in order to understand how to get a great sounding synth. I made a good one (YAVA) which pump out the hell of my speakers and can challenge my old good Moog Voyager. A trick I often use during production is to pass a virtual analogue track through a BBE Sonic Stomp and/or routing the signal through a bus with a very quiete overdrive on it. This helps a lot

Software Tools For Home Recording
There are many things to consider when you're in the market for some home studio recording software. With a little research, you can get the right software without having to buy all kinds of different recording packages. In fact, there are some programs that have so many tools built-in that you may only need one program for your recording work.
Overall, you will want software programs with these types of functions:
- Samplers
- Soft synths
- Effects
- Tools for mastering
- Tools for mixing
- Dynamic software
- and many others might come in handy
For all of these uses, you can probably buy a software program but that will start to cost you after you've purchased 2 or 3 of them. So why not try a DAW (digital audio workstation) instead, that offers a whole range of tools in one package. Don't be fooled by the all-in-one approach. Many DAWs include very high-quality software. Some feature-packed ones are Sonar 8, Pro Tools and Cubase. Of these three, Sonar 8 has the best selection of integrated features, including these tools:
- Guitar Rig 3 LE
- Roland V-Vocal 1.5 voice modeler
- TruePianos Amber
- VX-64 Vocal Strip multi-effects processor
- PX-64 Percussion Strip
- VC-64 Vintage Channel dynamic processor
- Boost 11 peak limiter
- LP-64 EQ Linear equalizer
- Transient Shaper- LP-64 Multiband- Roland TTS-1
- Dreamstation DXi analog modeler
- TL-64 Tube Leveler
- Rapture LE- Z3TA+- Sonitus
- DropZone Sampler
- and many other software tools too
Sonar 8 is clearly going to provide you with a wide range of software, tools, effects for all your mixing and mastering requirements. That's not to say that Pro Tools or Cubase aren't good choices either. Both of those packages also come with a bundled set of programs for your home studio recording needs as well. Any of them will enable you to create professional sounding recordings at home.
The best idea is to try a good quality DAW, and after using it for a while then you can decide if your recording projects warrant getting more specialized software for any specific jobs, like getting some dedicated reverb or mastering programs.
