FREE VST -= CENTRAL THREAD =-

[R-Stuur]

I figured this might be an idea for those who wanna check out free vst's we've tried out.

I can highly recommend the 'fishfillets' by digitalfishphones

Kjaerhus also makes some great classics:

incidently, we were gonna set up our own wiki for this... never happened.

i suggested use my FTP and get a reliable source for storing them...


Again, people were like "no"...

I already had the Kjaerhus plugs, but the digitalfishphones ones are new to me. Thanks for the links!

Buzzroom
Nice compressors.

Gvst
Many types of effects - good multiband compressor, great tuner etc.

TBT Audio
Maximizer, compressor, limiter, tube saturator, octaver, tape slowdowner etc.

Ambience - CPU hog but sounds great. Free version with a nag screen, full version for any amount of donation.

BTE Audio
Great TS emulation, nice rock oriented ampsim (Soldano something IIRC).

Helium
Cortex - good high gain ampsim, CortexExp - IMHO the best expander/noise gate for guitar.

Aixcoustic
Electri-Q Posihfopit Edition - the best free equalizer !
(sexy skins)

These plugs have been really good to me. All are very good quality

Thank you all for your contributions sofar, if extensive enough we might be able to make a wiki out of this and backup on all the files. I have them stored on my hdd for now (not all of them but a lot) incase one of the sites decided to pull back a plugin

I think the Pitch-Shifter (version 1.0.0) on this page is supposed to be the bee's knees for doing mock bass guitar using a normal guitar (aka Ghetto Bass). I tested it once, and seemed to do the trick.

My advice is to use it only when tracking.
And then use Reapers pitch adjust (best algo) to render the track with ultra high quality that is unachievable by any realtime vst plugin.

(I tried all free pitchshifters, because i can't afford a real bass, so i know what i'm talking about )

The free stuff at www.voxengo.com is handy as hell.


As is the MDA audio stuff...

stomp boxes (and the "tube" amp) look cool, haven't tried em. looks like you can switch tubes in the amp, that's kinda neat:

this has a bunch, including a fake feedback one, which might be cool for direct-recorded guitars to add some realism (I goofed with it, and it's pretty cool!):

oh hell, a bunch in this thread:

I've never heard IIEQ get mentioned on this forum. It is definately one of the finest freeware equalizers i've used alongside smartelectronix NyQuistEQ and Aixcoustic's Electri-Q/Posihfopit.

It sounds amazing and somehow manages a very low cpu hit. I also find that the gui forces you to use your ears instead of eyes. It's not available on the developers site (http://www.ddmf.eu/) at the moment but i've uploaded it to the ftp. The site is not attractive and the gui isn't the greatest looking either but the sound is great.

Edit: I've also uploaded a bunch of great skins for Electri-Q/Posihfopit I found over at kvr. Big improvement in the gui department with these.
