Ill start this with the recommendation that you should seek reliable sources when considering free plug ins.It can save a lot of headaches and help find better quality plugins by sticking with reputable and known brands, and sourcing them from either the companies website or well known sources such as: Plug in Boutique.Beware of flaky sites and companies who often attach bloatmalware to downloads of plug ins that arent worth even the free price tag.Some of my personal recommendations: TDR Nova I have used this heavily since it was first introduced and am still amazed that such an amazing plug in is free Their other free plug ins might be of interest as well.
Autotune Mixcraft 8 Free Plug InsVOS EQ, and the Kotelnikov bus compressor are both quite good too. Autotune Mixcraft 8 Upgrade Replacement ToVoxengo SPAN Another heavily used and highly recommended tool, this is a free upgrade replacement to the frequency analyzer included in Mixcraft, with added features and utility. Hofa 4U meter, fader, side pan tool is something new (to me) I am finding useful Melda productions free bundle contains some very useful tools that tend to be highly flexible and configurable. Also, the Tal reverb and chorus are popular and frequently recommended freebies, as is the Acon delay. All available via the sources at the beginning of this post.) If guitar amp emulations are of interest, you might be interested in the free CS version of Amplitube: It includes- a digital chromatic tuner, 9 stomps, 4 amps, 5 cabs, 3 mics, and 2 rack effects. Some people use the stomps and effects for uses outside of Amplitube as well. Autotune Mixcraft 8 Free Effects BundleMy vote for the second (after Meldaproductions) freeware plug-in bundle for a new Mixcraft (or any DAW) owner to download is the Dead Duck Free Effects Bundle. It comes with 24 excellent effects in both 32 and 64-bit versions, everything you need, really. Audio Damages Rough Rider compressors are ferocious, and the Fuzz Plus is pretty cool, too. Bitter, a nice utility for monitoring of interstage digital clipping, is a real eye-opener. Put this in between your other effect plug-ins to make sure that you are not clipping your signal. Their HBC bus compressor and Bass Professor are also used on most of my projects. There have many other goodies: Luftikus knob EQ for character: Sonalksis FreeG Stereo fader is on my master bus in every project: OrilRiver is my favorite reverb, I use it on pretty much every project. I then tried it as the top compressor in my mastering chain and was again impressed, so it is now my go-to for such tasks. The other is Acons Multiply, a chorus that has been around for a few years and is so versatile and sounds so good that it has made it unnecessary for me to ever use a different chorus effect. Where do you think I found that volume control plugin that I posted about on that other thread LOL Regards, Dale. It usually winds up on the instrument panel effects spot so its pre fader. I usually use it in conjunction with the LSR meter placed first in line on the track to confirm the gain staging: Best, -N.
