My Complete List of Third Party VST Plugins for Music Production (2025)

Jul 21

As a home studio producer creating electronic R&B, chillhop, and indie tunes, I’m always looking for VST plugins that add warmth, soul, and texture to my sound. Over time, I’ve discovered and tried out many virtual instruments and effects that have inspired beats, melodies, and polished mixes. Although there are many tools I use within Ableton Suite, this is my full list of third party VST plugins I have adapted into my music production workflow—from virtual instruments to mixing and mastering tools. Whether you’re looking to expand your plugin library or just curious about how I shape my sound, this list has everything that keeps my sessions inspired and flowing.

To keep things more inclusive, I refrained from mentioning UAD plugins. Those will be saved for another post.
