I have just got in to the production side and struggling with creating melody's. Can't seem the hang of it using vengeance samples. I know folk use Nexus but unsure where to get it.
Any1 help with this? |

don't think you need to use vengeance & nexus because everyone else does
vengeance samples are great, yes.
& so is nexus
but there are many many other great sample packs & vst's out there |

What VST would you suggest to get? |

My absolute favourite is Sylenth1. |

Nexus is sample based so very limiting. Best soft synths I've used are Albino 3 and V-Station. |

Just recently updated my Z3ta to version 2 and highly recommend it. The update they did on it is amazing, and still retains much of the original's classic sound.
check it out...

The most widely used are:
*Sylenth1
*V-Station
*Zebra2
*Z3ta+
*Nexus
*Massive
Use VSTs for leads, try to stay away from using samples.

also dont use nexus, if you just use nexus an nothing else you will never learn, you need to get your head around one vst at a time, i would go for sylenth 1 first, learn how to use it proper.
Download presets an learn how there made an recreate your own or download presets for various vst's an recreate them in sylenth 1.

I find myself liking styrus more and more each time I use it. |

I suggest V-station as a first synth. It has got a really good interface to understand the basics. Multiple waveforms, a LP filter and unison detune for creating supersaw or some phattttt stuff =))
You can also use sylenth1, it's a really cool synth i use it a lot aswell. Nice interface, routing capabilites and built in effects stc.
I don't really suggest zebra or massive as starter synth, because you have to understand basics first .. I don't think that massive's user interface is that user friendly .. but clearly more friendly than FM8's :D ..
Also you can watch tutorials @ youtube to understand the basics, or get a really great idea to improve your music making skills ;)
I use sylenth1 and massive in most of my musix, sometimes v-station. If you got any question just ask :)! |

I highly recommend Synth1, which is a FREE virtual analog synth: http://www.geocities.jp/daichi1969/softsynth/#down.
Even though the UI might be a bit ugly, you can still get some very phatt sounds.  |

I use Nexus purely for it's piano samples and for layering on leads. Im absolutely opposed to using it too much or depending on it. It frustrated me when I saw that Sy & Unknown effectively did a Nexus tutorial Future Music Magazine.
Use synths. Even with presets you learn so much more. Sylenth1, Z3ta+, Zebra, Vstation, even the free Fruity ones are worth a look at. Get nexus, but just use it to layer - Layer to get more depth in your track. Nothing more boring than single layer leads and singler layer raw basslines imo |

Yeah great synth. I originally got it because it was suggested by Jon Doe in a thread on ush in like 2003. |
