Wolfgang Gartner's Software Plugins and VSTs

"For plugins it's definitely Cypher and Strobe that I pull up first for just about anything. I feel like they've been a sort of secret weapon for me, and even when I turn other people onto them, they can't seem to get the same sounds out of them that I'm getting, which is the beautiful thing. To this day nothing has come out that even comes close to rivaling the quality of these synths, aside from sample-based plugins, which obviously lack the modulation and flexibility of traditional virtual synths."

Original Q&A with Wolfgang can be found here.

"I use Guitar Rig a lot to process a whole host of things, not just for distortion but every type of modulation really, it's actually my favorite reverb as well, one of the verb units within it, so I use that a lot."

Original Q&A found here.

"To be honest when I discovered DCAM it was a major turning point, because I took about half of my hardware synths and boxed them up in the garage. These were the first virtual synths that sounded as good or even better than hardware. So in essence they simplified my life by allowing me to stay more in-the-box, and saved me a lot of space in my studio."

Wolfgang responds to the question, "Are there any software instruments that have influenced the way you work?" (original Q&A here).

When asked about saturation plugins, Wolfgang responds, "Waves Kramer tape is amazing but really drains your system, PSP makes a couple good ones too. But I haven't used those on the master in at least a year. usually on individual tracks."
