My 2025 Virtual Instrument Recommendations

Hi Team, with Black Friday here, there's so many amazing deals on VST's so I wanted to share some of the best stuff I bought in 2025. I think this year has been incredible and these products really made my tracks stand out. I also want to hear from you what your favs are.

Ok here goes:

Westwood Instruments - Novella, Lost Guitar - Make sure to download their freebies!
Heavyocity - Gravity 2, Oblivion, Dystropia - Make sure to download their freebies!
Keepforest - Appex Guitars, and I'm going to buy the new WILD HUNT (This looks awesome!) - Make sure to download their freebies!
Sonuscore - The Ochestra, The Score, Horizon Leads, Elysium 2, Fragments - One thing I don't love about Sonuscore is that I feel like their sounds out of the box need serious compression punch, they sound soft to me. But overall great tools to work with.
Lunaris 2 - Amazing pads!
Soundpaint - I bought all their strings, I think they're wonderful but I seem to get a bit of latency on them.

Ok so it sounds like a lot, but I think I got all of this for under $3000?

I'm a working TV composer so it's stuff I actually needed and can write off on taxes,

but even if you have $500 this holiday season to treat yourself, these are all great tools!

What are the newest things you all bought this year?

Matt
