Re: Free Plug ins
It's been a while since I've updated my own plugins, but I use a few Voxengo plugs and they have a number of freebees. Even the plugs you have to buy are relatively cheap.

Not sure what would happen if I were caught using these free plugins. But I may have to find out.

Readability is a browser plug in that strips out all ads and other crap so you can actually read the content. It's great.

Re: Free Plug ins
I've been looking around for some fun plugins for my ep, and I stumbled across these ones. not sure if the site's been posted in this thread, and I haven't tried the effects yet - but they look promising.

I'm also going to give stardust a try for mastering.

I'll report back once I've tried them out.

Re: Free Plug ins
I gave Stardust a quick run, and I think it's sounding pretty good (I may have overdone it on the treble boost though, now that I listen to it again). The mastered version below is pumped up mostly with Stardust, and a 2 dB boost from GClip.

Re: Free Plug ins
It's certainly louder on the mastered version. But it also separates pretty nice too. The highs on the brass is crisp and the bass is better. the guitar might be too loud after mastering, but I LIKE GUITAR, so it's cool with me. Also the stereo separation is MUCH wider, maybe too wide. But I listened on headphones, so....Reïst wrote:I gave Stardust a quick run, and I think it's sounding pretty good (I may have overdone it on the treble boost though, now that I listen to it again).

Also, I love the jam. Makes me want to crank up a nice drum beat and jump on my guitar and rock out for a bit. bbl.

Re: Free Plug ins
So, I installed it, and it did a bunch of hocus-pocus, but made no discernible changes in my hard drive. If it extracted anything, I can't find it, and of course, none of my programs see the instruments. Did anyone else get this pack? Can someone tell me what I did wrong?fluffy wrote:Native Instruments is providing a free "holiday sampler" through the end of the year.

Re: Free Plug ins
According to this page, SynC Modular is now free.
SynC Modular is the precursor to Reaktor. It's a program that lets you assemble basic sound synthesis modules (VCOs, VCRs, VCFs, and much, much more) into your own custom synths.
Over the years, SynC Modular fans have posted various sythesizer designs for public use. The "salterium" that opens my Robot Ninja Zombie Bear entry is one ouststanding example (note that I've run the sound through a VST octave coupler.) It simulates some kind of stringed instrument struck with mallets. Each of about 15 keys on a MIDI keyboard is mapped to its own synthesizer, so you can fine-tune the way each "string" responds to a "hit."
For a while, a SynC Modular license was unobtainable. Apparently the original designer was hired by the makers of Reaktor, and SynC Modular was walled off as an unwanted competitor. So if it's really free as of Jan 2010, I recommend it to serious fans of synthesized sound.

Re: Free Plug ins
Did I ever post about Ardour? I tracked a project on this DAW a few weeks back and was pretty impressed with it. It's donationware, so you can get it for free it you need. I didn't get into the mixing or editing or anything, but it worked fine to track an 8 piece group.
