Here at MusicRadar, we're on a quest to detail every aspect of making music in as clear and concise a way as possible, focussing on opening up routes to making music that everybody - regardless of experience level - can understand.
At the heart of any modern studio set-up is your DAW, which we've analysed here. Really, many people would point to which virtual instruments you choose as being the next most important consideration.
In this feature we'll be exploring this world of these virtual instruments, which are also known as 'VIs', 'plugins' or 'VST instruments'. We'll be highlighting how you can make the best use of them in your music productions.
Like virtual band members, virtual instruments can provide all the sounds, beats and even the voices you need to create and mix a tune.
