"Best Free VSTs of 2013"

Funny, Ian, that I use pretty much that list too (save for Battery 4 instead of SSD). I do incorporate Vintage Keys for a Mark I, Vintage Organs for a B3, and Kontakt 5 for horns, but that’s about it.

That’s the reason why I started this thread: I rarely add to the plug-ins I have because I’m picky about what goes into the pool. I was hoping to get some feedback from people here to save me the trouble of downloading, trying them out, then deciding that I don’t like them and uninstalling.

Off-topic, slightly: does anyone here have any experience with cinematic scoring using the NI offerings? Yes, I realize most of them are OEM’d via Heavyocity. Sara (my 13 year old) had a huge English project where she had to put together a video about one man’s fight against genocide and I got the bug when I helped her put together the track backing her narration track.
