Trying to Find the Best VST Host
I’m an aspiring musician and songwriter. While you might think I have some sort of computer-based software program for my craft, I don’t. I currently have nowhere to store my creative genius because I’m trying to decide which is the best VST host and what software to actually buy.
When I research this topic on the Internet, the results are little confusing. How is someone like me to know which program is better than the next? Moreover, how am I supposed to understand all the technical jargon about DirectX plugins or XMP metadata support.
Say what? I had an easier timing learning a foreign language in high school!
Seriously, though, I’m kind of at a loss. Obviously I’ve heard of programs like Adobe Audition – mostly because I’m just familiar with Adobe as a company – but what about all the others? When I researched the best VST hosts, I found a list in Wikipedia that includes about 20 different companies/software programs. Where’s a guy to start? I suppose I could do some good old-fashioned homework and make a pros and cons list, but then again I’m not even sure I’d understand it. Is there a program called “Learn How to Make Awesome Music Really Easily?” Cause I’d totally buy it.
I realize I should probably know a little more about the whole virtual recording studio “world” before trying to jump into it by buying the best VST program, but I can’t help but feel this whole process should be a bit more consumer-friendly to the music novice.
