The VST/plugins thread

Anyone know of a good VST Noise Gate? I'm using the one that comes with Reaper and it works, but it could work a whole lot better. I need it mainly to gate guitar and bass buzz.

Already mentioned, like, 3 times: GVSTs gate. Or for better and nearly-free, the one in the Toneboosters track bundle.

Damn, I did already ask that. Been having an off day or something.

I've been looking for a free synth/organ vst, and i've found some. When I download them they are a .dll file, do I need a special program to open that? Or do I just add the .dll file into the Reaper Vst's?

Just add the .dll into reaper vst's.

Alright thanks And a noob question, do I need some sort of midi controller to use a synth vst?

Nope. Yea, it helps to add chords or melodies on the fly, but you can always manually add them by way of the midi editor.

Ggate is awesome. I also really like Gdelay. For amp sims....Kuassa Creme is killing them all....big tone...brutal sound...has a built in cab impulse loader ( I use Soldano SLO 100 cab impulse for rhythm and a Diezel cab impulse for leads) TS808 tubescreamer for boosting leads(although I don't even need it with Kuassa) Kuassa is around $30 but it is sooooo worth it.
