Good find Bargie. When I get some time I will troll though them. Thanks mate.
I got most of my free VST instruments from these 2 sites:
http://www.vst4free.com/
http://www.dskmusic.com/
For the best free "real" acoustic drumkit VST, you can't go past Sennheiser's Drum Mic'a. One kit, Dozens of mikes, hundreds of beats and thousands of samples. All in a small 4.9gb download!!!
You will also need Kontakt (also free). I found it a real pain to set up, but I'm using Reaper, so I don't know if that made a difference. My PC is a pretty low-end I3 with only 4 gb RAM, but so far I have had no troubles using it. I admit to not understanding half of what it can do, but once I got it going it is amazing. To whet your appetite check out this review.

Nice one Robin, I just snagged me a sweet little tape emulator [ferox] from vst4free, it sounds beautiful!!!
Sounds so good in fact I had to share a sample.
Clip 1 is without, Clip 2 is with. [used on the master buss, new tape preset]

Nice Barge. To be honest I haven't checked out many VST effects as I haven't done much (any) guitar recording. Hopefully I will get into it someday. Some of the free VST's out there are surpringly good quality and bring recording into the reach of everybody, talent permitting.

Totally agree man, I'm mean it'd be great to be able to spend tens of thousands of dollars on high end plugins and outboard gear, but for the average Joe it's simply not possible.Originally Posted by robin
I don't think you necessarily need "talent" to achieve great results (or lots of money for that matter), just heaps of patience and a willingness to learn.
Free plugins and templates for logic http://www.logic-templates.com/free-plugins .bargey I'm trying to find an article where only the stock plugins where used to write mix and master a complete track only using stock plugins .
Here's the Video Barge where Graham only used the standard Daw all its plugins to finish and master a Ep I liked the one track he did on it called wandering man http://therecordingrevolution.com/20...n-album-video/
Cool man. I'd be really interested to see something like that.
Here's my latest mix/master effort all done with freebies.

Just listened to Blinded Barge . Vocals great up front in mix . The guitars nicely blended song construction good barge . Listened to dirty side mirrors . There's a song in there but it needs the polish,and clarity that you have going on in blinded . Maybe go back n revisit that song and redo with what you've learned from blinded . Great stuff like blinded Dude . I hope you don't mind me giving my
Ten cents . Barge go here download this free plugin http://www.slatedigital.com/products/revival I love this plugin gives you a warmth n creaminess to your mixes you will need an ilok dongle to use you may already have one . You can use this Ilok with thousands of plugins for future ref .http://www.slatedigital.com/products/revival An ilok dongle if any of the guys here don't know ,It is what a lot of plugin manufacturers use to protect there software pto tools uses it plus many others it plugs into a USB port on the computer.
