Hi guys, how do I make good music using free VST? I used those built-in instruments, which are boring to me. VSts is good to me.

Please define what is good music and what means boring built-in instruments :D

we can't teach you how to make good music. We can help you with issues of technical kind for instance if you do not know how to use VST
The only good advice I can give you about making good music, is that you 'always' need to be in key of a specific scale. If key and scale does not mean anything to you, you need to get a grip of the most fundamental music-theory.

It's hard to define what a good song is because each person will have a different way of feeling music. But your sharing helps me realize many interesting things. I appreciate your work!

Yes. It's why I put them in the tutorial section. Just to help beginners get an idea of music theory 😁

Try layering different VSTs together, add reverb/delay, and experiment with automation to make your sound more dynamic.

To make good music, you just need many years of practice, this is pretty much all.

Layering different VSTs together is pretty cool!
