Many music lovers want to go beyond the pure pleasure of just listening to music. There are people out there like myself that believe that way deep down inside them, they have the creative juices it takes to create and produce their own chart topping hits. The problem is most of those people like me just do not have the pocket books to accommodate the cost of expensive synths and a professional studio setup.

Having said all this you can imagine my joy when I stumbled across a system that would allow me to make the music I have always dreamed about. Of course, there are professional types on the market with the price tags of thousands of dollars. However, the beauty of this system though is that it is professional quality, priced at a reasonable level for beginners to start out. This is a review of "VSTPlatinum".

The package promises a "push-button" and easy solution to start making professional music. My first concern was how much studio experience would I need? Within a matter of seconds, I got my answer. Absolutely none! Now I knew that within days I would be on my way to making my own music. Surely, it would be just the basics but that was ok, it?s a start. I was just thankful to find something outside of the professional VSTs price range.

As excited as I was, I was still a little skeptical. After all what credibility was there to this proposal? As I read about Greg Hoffman and his credentials, I knew he wasn?t going to risk his character on selling something inferior. After all, he?s a reputable sound engineer and after being in the business for 25 years there?s little doubt that he doesn?t know what he?s talking about.

By now, I?m convinced that the VST platinum is soon going to be mine, now I wanted to hear about all that I was going to be able to do with it. With over 1700 plugins and 4000 sound effects, this is definitely an easy headstart for home studio enthusiasts. No longer do you have to mess with complicated hardware or overprice synthesizers.

VST Platinum promise that I would able to create great sounding music and sound samples easily and quickly with software based systems. It wasn?t also likely that I would outgrow the system in the near future as it has over 1700 VST plugins of superior plugins and 4000 sound effects.

At the price Greg is offering, I think it is a "no-brainer". I went ahead and placed my order and I couldn?t wait to get my VST platinum DVD in the mail because I knew once I didn?t it wasn?t going to take days of reading manuals and constant learning. I would be at it within no time at all.

By not having all that extensive learning, hardware tweaking and jargon to follow, it meant more time for what I loved to do most - and that?s making music. Now with state of the art VSTs like those offered in VST Platinum - look out world here I come!
