I'm a local artist. I want to record some demos. I want them to sound like some good home studio recordings. something that sounds like studio quality to the ears...

Plug-ins won't help you. And if you're not sure how to use them, they'll hurt you.

The so-called "secret" to an "awesome" sound is no secret at all. It's all about tracking properly, which means it starts with (in order of importance)the performance, goes through the quality of mics and their placement, and ends with proper levels going into your recorder.

There is no magic plug-in with an "EASY" button on it.

Maybe you can tell us what you use to record, for starters, and people can help you with getting the best sound out of what you have.

I'm not sure you are understanding anything of what we are asking, or, what is even more true, is what you want to do.

You want to get plug-ins. For what? What are you using these plug-ins for? Do you even know what plug-ins do?

did i not clearly state that i'm doing vocals and acoustic recordings...i need these plugins to help me out on th sound quality...i know it all depends on equipment too but i'm not in a great financial state right now...so i go to my last option and get plugins to help out.
 
Yes... But what's wrong with the sound you have at the moment? It may be that your mic placement or performance is at fault, rather than your plugins.
 
.....So.....Right now, how do you mic the guitar??? Where do you place the mic??? Have you tried moving the mic around??? Do you record your vocals and guitar at the same time or seperately???? What DON'T you like about the sound that you THINK a plug-in can fix???

You know........that kind of thing.......:rolleyes:
 
Let me rephrase my question.

I'm not asking what is your ultimate strategic goal (making a demo or whatever), I'm asking what you want to do with what you've recorded? You say you need plug-ins, you asked us what is good. But how do we know what you need if you don't know what you want to do?
 
what everyone is saying is you have specified anything at all.

you need to reword your intial question to something like

"Whats the best free reverb plugin?"
"Whats the best free eq plugin?"
"What plug in will make my guitar sound like [example here]?"

But then again plugins wont provide you studio quality like everyone has been stating it is the tracking
 
ok....maybe, i am a newbie at work here but you guys need to make it easy for me to understand too...you see how things can be so misunderstanding...i'm not quick to judge...but ok..here's my issue....my recording sounds good but when i listen to it over and over or the next day, it seems like it needs an extra boost in something...sounds kinda plain...thats why i'm looking into plugins...i'm only running a mixer straight into a laptop with a rode nt1a condenser....but yea...dont know much about compressors or reverb or delays....remember...i'm new at this...help me out with my first problem then we'll go back to the second which is the beats and stuff...
