COOL OLD-SKOOL VST PLUGINS - FOR FREE!

6/1/2015

2 Comments

 
One of my passions for a very long time has been recording.  Just today, I was thinking about some great little VST plugins that are true jewels that everyone should check out.  Not only have I used these on numerous occasions, but they are actually free!  I'm going to list some obvious choices, but I am also going to list some that you may have never heard of before.  In no particular order, here they are:

1. Variety of Sound:

Every one of these guy's plugins are super great.  If you haven't heard of them yet, you are missing out!

2. de la Mancha:

I discovered de la Mancha effects a while back, and I was super impressed.  Allot of these are out of the ordinary, while others are very practical. 

3. The Genuine Soundware Watkat:

I absolutely love this echo/delay.  One look, and you'll know what it is emulating (or at least, you should know).

4.  Tokyo Dawn Labs:   

Pretty cool sounding plugins.  Allot of recording professionals use these, and best of all, they are free.

5. No list is complete without mentioning The Fish Fillets:   

I have especially used the compressor and the de-esser on countless occasions!


6.  Anwida DX Reverb Lite:

This is a cool little reverb I have used from time to time.  Very smooth verb with very little CPU overhead.

7.  Tweakbench:

These guys have a ton of cool & free VST effects, but my favorite is "Field."  You must download it to see what it can do!

8.  Dasample Glaceverb:

Every now and then, this reverb really hits the spot.  It has a tone all its own - a definite must hear!

9.  Izotope Vinyl:

No list would be complete without mentioning this plugin.  Super fun.

There are literally hundreds more that I could recommend, but these above will keep you busy for a while!  Much love everyone!
