5 BEST VST Plugins (With FREE Alternatives!) 🎛🔥

**At the time of this video's release, I am not sponsored nor affiliated with any of the plugins, developers, or companies in this video. These are my recommendations based solely on my experience and satisfaction.**

These are my top 5 VST/AU plugins for making music in a small studio. In this video, I dive into each plugin - why I use it, what makes it the best, and a brief demo to showcase. PLUS I provide free alternatives to the paid plugins so you can get pro-quality sounds without spending a dime! 🎶💰

🔹 Drums
🔹 Pitch Correction
🔹 Synths
🔹 Piano / Keys
🔹 Reverb
🔹 Bonus plug-in at the end

Whether you’re a producer, songwriter, or home studio musician, these plugins will level up your productions. Let me know in the comments which ones you use—or if I missed a great free alternative!
