Because this video is about the BEST free plugins for any DAW (Logic, Ableton, or FL). These are my top 15 free plugins right now. I would even say they are better than many paid plugins.

I think of all the free plugins I've ever used, Vital and Valhalla Supermassive are the ones that I'm absolutely floored by. Like, Vital is as functional and as good as Serum, I strongly recommend it for anyone new to learning synthesis. Supermassive is a $50+ value reverb and sounds so good - it's kinda ridiculous that it's free.

The only downside with Vital is that it's a massive CPU hog (unless I'm only one experiencing this issue?)

Analog "style" in terms of looks. Not behaviours. I don't like the way any of them sound. And it makes sense given that he makes more than 1 every month. I recommend when your ears start to learn the subtleties of good analog gear check out the free plugins by variety of sound, they are much closer to real analog gear.
