    All my software is paid for now.

    But sometimes, I think I'd rather be an unsanctimonious crack head, than some of these so-called 'do-the-right-thing-dude' knobheads that 'pay for all their software'.

    The amount of crap that WOK has got at a time in his life when he really didn't need it pours true shame on so-called audio communities like KVR and Gearslutz. People there have money to help him out, but they just bitch and moan and whine. This man and his family are going through severe difficulties and the audio community has been shown up to be what it is - a shower of shit - when it comes down to it. Truly pathetic.

    They really abandoned him and let him down in his time of greatest need. They could have at least pretended to give a shit. Then again, I realise we are dealing with people with un-diagnosed mental disorders. Don't mean to be harsh.

    The people who post at KVR and at Gearslutz are the most comfortable first world people on this planet. Yet they won't even put their hands in to their pockets to help out one of their own? Truly shameful.

    A sizeable donation from the most frequent posters there could really help this guy and his family out. But the petty bickering continues.

    I don't think anyone from KVR or Gearslutz has any right to the moral high-ground any more after this debacle. They have been called out. And found lacking. It's a sad day for everyone, not just WOK and his family.

    This has shown these communities up to be what they really are - freeloading parasites, no better than the leachers on the warez scene.

    Excuse the rant. I've been following this for the last years or so, since WOK and his family have run into troubles. It exposes this community for what it really is.

    Acon Digital Reverb SOLO

    [​IMG]

    From bright, nearly slap-back echo, to elongated cavernous rumbles, this first partnership between Acon Digital and Reverb.com brings an entirely new ambience to your tracks. With just one knob, you can dial in short, bright reverb for a small room, up-front vibe, or long, dark reverb that places your mix in deep space. The plugin is released in celebration of the launch of Reverb SYNC, a new platform for finding the best music software and plugins.

    More info @ Reverb.com

    SQ8L and iZotope Vinyl are pretty nice and I don't believe they've been mentioned yet.

    I agree about SQ8L, but unfortunately... remaining as 32-bit VSTi and its development seems abandonned (lastest 0.91b was... June 2008). In my arsenal, however.

    Adam Monroe Music Tremolo

    [​IMG]

    Adam Monroe’s Tremolo is a free vst and au (WIN & MAC) effects plugin with both traditional amplitude tremolo and stereo panning. The idea was to implement both “vertical” and “horizontal” oscillators, and to be able to easily tweak these values via knobs.

    Features
    • Amplitude tremolo.
    • Stereo panner.
    • Dry/wet mix.
    • Easy sample rate selection.

    Cerberus Audio Ice9 Automute

    [​IMG]

    Ice9 Automute’s soft-muting function will begin to attenuate the gain before a single sample over the threshold has passed. Instantaneous radical attenuation will occur if the threshold is exceeded by a severe and potentially dangerous amount. Versioon 1.1 features an increased threshold range for matching levels commonly used with digital/analog hybrid signal chains. It also fixes an important functional issue for Windows users, and introduces internal improvements for Mac users. It is free for MAC & WIndows (VST/AU).

    More info here - DDL Links (WIN | MAC)
     
  11. I saw Ice9 Automute elsewhere today and thought it a brilliant idea made flesh. Thanks for posting it for the locals.

    Dang, freebie development has gotten off the chain! So much of this stuff is badass, at least in concept. Lots of useful functionality and adventuresome innovation. Really cool.
