What is one or 2 Free Vsts that you can't believe they didn't charge anything for? I'm just curious to see what other people enjoy and why.

 

a few:

Airwindows. (I use the AU versions though). great sound quality and low resource usage. I like Buss Colors and Slew the most, but there are many others.

Xfer Records OTT - freeware.

fre(a)koscope - realtime spectrum analyzer http://mdsp.smartelectronix.com/freakoscope/

Rift Filter Lite - RIFT Filter Lite - Next-Gen Morphing Filter | Minimal Audiohttps://www.minimal.audio › products › rift-filter-lite

MVmeter2 - mvMeter2 | TBProAudiohttps://www.tbproaudio.de › products › mvmeter2

 

The ones my sister gave me. They didn't charge her either, apparently...

All jokes aside, there's some good ones out there that I liked but don't actively use...

Vember Audio's Surge, which went free and open source. The interface could use some work but it's skinnable. https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/

Vital Basic, decent alternative to Serum that a lot of people raved about when it was released. https://vital.audio/

Not a VST, but a Kontakt library: the Drummic'a kit by Sennheiser sounds pretty decent, but it's no longer available for download (or I can't find it).

TDR Nova is good if you want an easy to use dynamic EQ. https://www.tokyodawn.net/tdr-nova/

Here's a list I made of Mac Freeware plugins on my blog:

https://12bitzaudio.com/free-audio-plugins-masterlist/

standouts are:

OTT
Fromage
A1 plugins
Svep

if there are other plug-ins I missed, feel free to let me know.

 

how much mileage can someone get out of UVI Workstation, without paying for anything?

excuse me, that should say "before buying other stuff from them"....

Just checked your your blog link, which is a great collection of plugins but then I looked through your services. You do Cassette masters? Interesting.

What genres have you mastered before? Would you master a shitty bm tape?

 

Hello @ FrankWhite23, these two virtual software synthesizers have an exceptionally good sound.
Both no longer available. I've uploaded them both here in our forum.

AlgoMusic - M42 VSTi (32 Bit) jBridge

Ummet Ozcan - Computer Music - Genesis v1.0.2 VSTi with 4 Soundbanks
https://audiosex.pro/threads/computer-music-genesis-v1-0-2-vsti-with-4-soundbanks.31897/#post-287693

 

I've been working in audio in some form for 30 years, and I've always gravitated towards more fringe electronic genres.

If by BM you're referring to Black Metal, yes I've done mastering projects for artists in that genre. I'd definitely be interested in checking out your tape. Just PM me and I'll get back to you next time I'm on here.

By far, Vital synthesizer. https://vital.audio/

 

MSED and Correlometer by Voxengo, A1StereoControl by A1AUDIO, Wider by Polyverse. They cover up pretty much all my mid-side needs. MSED is fantastic for panning wide sounds, as you can pan only mid. I use it in every project nowadays.
EpicVerb by Variety of Sound. It's really versatile and characterful, can dy everything from subtle ambiences to swelling 20s tails, and now it's 64 bit, so I don't even have to use Metaplugin.
RoughRider 2/3 by AudioDamage. Perfect for keeping bass or/and drums in place.
Helm by Matt Tytel, because I learned synthesis on it. Hope it's getting completed.

 

OTT, Vital and Camel Crusher

 

DecentSampler (not really an effect plugin, but a free sampler player)
TDR Nova seems to be the best free dynamic EQ. From TDR I also like the free version of SlickEQ and Kotelnikov.
