Fun with a new mic: Rode M3

Just found this software whilst checking something out for a friend - I think it's great for a home studio so thought I'd share it with you in case you didn't already know about it.

How about starting a list of recommended VST instruments for both windows and linux?

Being new to VST, I can't really comment on this just yet, but once I get my PC up and running again I hope to start getting into it a bit more. I know that 'recommended' is a pretty fuzzy word. One thing in particular that I'm looking for personally are some good drum, cymbal, and bass sounds. I have yet heard a decent snare that lives up to it's real counterpart (not saying they don't exist, just looking for them!).

It's out at last, but the site appears to be saturated. Might be a few days more before you can download it.

Ubuntu is an excellent linux. I expect that the studio version will be just as solid.
And it's free - you can't argue with that!

Should be out in April.
