What is the best synth VST?
From our list the one that I enjoy the most is the breadth and creativity of the LABS from Spitfire Audio. You have some great instruments, weird textures, fun sounds that are all very usable in a mix. From a synthesizer perspective Vital is a brilliant synth, animated and lush and everyone should have it.

What does VST stand for?
It stands for Virtual Studio Technology and was invented by Steinberg, the people behind the Cubase DAW, in 1996. It allowed for firstly effects and then software instruments to run as plugins within Cubase and then other DAWs that supported the protocol. It’s the technology that turned computers into fully working studios.
