At the moment I’m kinda in love with a free plugin called Transpanner 2.0 from Artists in DSP. I put this on a send and blend it in like a stereo room mic. It’s excellent to place things around and create space, doesn’t sound digital at all. Also try it by placing a channel delayer before some sources to add a tiny bit of pre delay. It’s dead simple compared to a lot of 3D binaural panners.

 

Cytomic - The Glue

 

Not exactly a new plugin, is it? Have they done something noteworthy to it?

 

but the champion from 22 is still champion in 23 if noone defeated him, isnt it. And for making the absolute smartass here , OP didnt wrote 2023-2024 Best New Plugins .

is the cytomics one the exact same as abletons ?

 

Just checked, The Glue came out in 2010. That said, yeah it doesn't say anything about being new, it just says best plugin so I guess it does count doesn't it!!

 

One could change it to "linking to warez sites is not allowed".

 

"There are some top secret plugins everyone is overlooking but of my course my vain ass won't tell you, go figure out yourself"
Yeah, sure buddy...

 

Isn't that like a multiband saturator with 1 band? Like just open a Saturn instance and click on the frequency graph to make a band for the same effect, right?

 

Is that really the general sentiment? I think all kinds of plugins get released these days, and most of them are easily replacable crap like it was 10 years ago, nothing much has changed in this regard.
I think of DMG Trackcomp 2 which uses next to no resources but sounds fantastic as a compressor, basically killing 90% of my arsenal, making it obsolete. You don't need many plugins like these to be released in order to shrink your toolbox to a healthy size, that's the improvement I am seeing with newer plugins.
Of course there is crap too, but that's beisdes the point...

 

how about i tell you STOCK PLUGINS..

and i tell you to use the effects in the hardware. the sounds in hardware already comes with eq, compressor, etc.. reverbs delays choruses
less is more

 

Basically, yes. Minor difference is that this one's for free. Also, saturations differ a lot.

 

vsti : ezbass , kontakt, pianoteq , superior drummer , legend hz.
vst : kazrog avalon , rrs punch , vertigo vsc3 , kiive audio stuff.

 

Objekt is cool.

 

plugins are business

 

If you are still learning, that is the best way. When you say "hardware effects" though, by this you mean onboard effects sections of synths and drum machines? Very few hardware devices' onboard effects sections are very close to what can be done with plugins today. Depending on the synth, you can often be better off recording them dry and then using plugins. Unless you like re-recording parts.
