Get some free plugins

if we're talking about going old school free VSTs, I prefer the classic series, but I really liked the manuals for the fish plugs - they have great explanations of what compression and expansion do and how to use (or not use) them as I recall. I still grab for the classic stuff on occasion if I'm using my work PC to goof with stuff. at home I use a mac with logic and what it comes with, so it's kind of a non-issue.
 
Here's a free plug, dont know haw many will find it usefull
