I would definitely recommend the Voxengo Overtone GEQ, Pushtec, Rescue, Tessla and TLS Saturated Driver Steve mentioned as well. (a reverse delay) and the different guitar amp-emulators like Studio Devil Britich Valve Custom, Fretted Synth's Free Amp 3, Cortex and the Simulanalog Guitar Suite. Other nice effect plugs are off course interruptor's different delays, Izotope's Vinyl and the Tapestop plugin as well as GVST's GRevDly MacBook Pro 15.4 Retina (mid 2015) Focusrite Clarett 8PreX & OctoPre Logic Pro X 10.2.4/Reason 9.2/Pro Tools 12. Great mastering EQ VST - thanks to Daniel Rumley for the link. Vintage gear emulator multi-fx containg compressors, eq's, saturation etc. Multiband limiter based on four Maximus presets, pretty much the same as FL Studio Soundgooderizer. Tightens bass stereofield without affecting other freq's. JB also has lots of other great plugins, amongst them a psychoacoustic compressor.
Also don't forget to check the Electri-Q manual out about different filter types and how they work. Also check out GClip, a clipper with free soft knee setting.įlexible graphic parametric EQ.
SSL's own free replication of the original listen mic compressor. Tube saturator with additional amplifier mode. Really good vintage style auto-filter, chorus, flanger, phaser, compressor, eq, delay, reverb and limiter I haven't had this very long so I'll edit in a report when I've had chance to give it a bit of use - there do seem to be some decent mastering presets in there though.
I've also tried this in conjunction with the T-Sledge for some very nice results - I found the X-Cita placed after the T-Sledge in the chain gave the best sounds. It has a few presets, but it's so simple to experiment with, these act only as starting points. In my opinion, second only to the T-Sledge, this cracking little tool only has three controls - 'exiters' for low and high contours and an output level. Updated version of the SE 1.1 - has a 'Pro' tag but it's still free!Įmulated tube saturation with some very good presets - with a little experimentation, this is a very capable unit. Nice saturation VST - I've just updated from my original but haven't had much of a play yet - if it's anything like the previous version, this is a nice bit of kit indeed. This is a fantastic piece of kit - there are loads of mastering and mixing presets and for my money, the best unit here. The presets are quite limited for mastering but there are some useful set ups to be had with a bit of experimentation.
Nice unit with an analog option, plus controls for 'punch' and 'width'. Loads of presets, mainly for instruments but there are 12 specific mix options. Very nice stereo EQ VST which can subtly widen and separate a mix by applying slightly different EQ settings at identical frequencies to the left and right channels. This has a default flat setting, plus 7 presets.
The presets are aimed more at individual instruments but with some tweaking the unit can be quite useful. This has a limiter, compressor and equalizer, plus an Analog setting to warm up the sound.
We've attempted to show a preset on each screenshot, and wherever possible, we've snapped the VST in action, so you get to see all the pretty lights!Ĭlick on the product name to go direct to the download page. Also, and perhaps more importantly, by seeing how the controls are set when the various presets are selected, we can maybe start to learn a little more of the various processes that are going on and begin to understand more about mixing and the challenging subject of mastering. In my limited experience though, what they can do though is give a helping hand with a mix.
Read the rules.There is some very expensive and sophisticated hardware and software out there that these plug-ins cannot possible come close to in terms of quality.
