MYR’s 5 Favorite Free Plugins

Top 5 free plugins for FL Studio

In this article, I will be describing my top 5 free VST plugins. Some of these are alternatives to paid or hardware plugins, while others are entirely unique to themselves. I find myself reaching towards these plugins in many of my projects, and my latest FL Studio masterclass in Uplifting Trance uses most of the following (I did this so people who follow the masterclass will not need to pay for any additional plugins). Each of these plugins is available for Mac and PC, and supports VST3 and AU.

Diva, the plugin you need and you don’t realise it!

When you hear Diva by U-he the first thing that comes to mind is most likely melodic techno or melodic house. While diva I widely used in these genres for its top notch analog emulation it is not entirely useless when it comes to trance music or other genres too. Especially when you are looking for those classic pad, lead or bass sounds you hear in tracks by Gouryella, 4 Strings, Ferry Corsten, Rank 1, Armin van Buuren and many other artists.
