VST3 vs. VST2 Plugins.. What Should You Use?

In short, use VST3 for best future-proofing of your music projects... however, there may be times where your software does not support VST3, and that's where you'll have to fallback to the VST2 version of that plugin.

As an end user, we really don't see too many benefits of VST2 vs. VST3, as it's mainly developers who gain more features and functionality that we end users get to use when making our music.

(The main benefits of VST3 would be usually a resizable GUI, and in FL Studio, we can often right-click in VST3 third-party plugins!)

As a bonus, we cover how to buy plugins for music production, and being careful about the best VSTs for beatmaking when they are subscription plugins.
