Free stuff!

[bargeloobs]

Hey Bargey, another site I just found (not sure if it has already been mentioned), it doesn't have a squillion VSTs but they appear to be quality and well sorted into categories AND free.

http://bedroomproducersblog.com/free-vst-plugins/

And you will be proud to know that because of you and Kimball I have started listening to the production behind the music. I haven't done that for many years. Well there goes whatever free time I had

Cheers guys.

Legend, I was literally just scanning the interwebs trying to find a good HF exciter, I might go see if there's anything on that site, good job;-)

I don't even know what an exciter does (although my imagination is currently running wild), a few here:

I needed to boost the high end harmonic frequencies of a bass guitar to get it to cut in the mix and didn't have a decent exciter.
Found this and it works like a treat, definitely a keeper:-) (ThrillseekerXTC)

There really are some really nice VST plugins that are free if you do some hunting, I'm already digging the stuff I have right now from the test recording I made with a crappy Guitar Hero mic!

Briscati M7 Impulse responses to use with Logics Space Designer
http://www.samplicity.com/bricasti-m...onses/Bricasti M7 Impulse Responses Download

The acousticas.net version, which is still served here even though the company ceased to exist a couple of months back. Installation instructions are included. The samplicity.com version, which is here, is supposed to be closer to the real thing.

These downloads include the impulses only, without the Space Designer presets, so you’ll have to manually load the impulses, which quickly becomes kind of a drag. You could load them one by one while saving them as a preset but …there’s an app for that! Check out Space Designer Manager in the App Store (29 Euros) or on their website. I just bought it, it works like a charm.

Hi Guys , here a free Stereo Expander Plugin in AU , VST, AAX,RTAS FORMATS

http://a1audio.de/index.php/downloads

haha already got that one and it's awesome, I've used it on my last 2 tracks now and it's perfect for really stretching the mix out nice and wide. It's got a "safe bass" feature which is cool too, as stereo imaging can sometimes cause unwanted anomalies in the bottom end.

[kimball492]

Here's some great free plugins one allows you to check your mix in mono Panipulator does just that . Barge have you tried doing your mix in mono ref levels makes a big difference to final mix give it a go . Bark of the dog is a shot at UADs Voice Of God a really expensive program that just increases the bass without the extra stuff http://www.bozdigitallabs.com just add to cart you'll see the invoice reads $0.00 no credit card payment needed

Best Advice I can give you Guys .is look for these as plugins A compressor or two , An Eq or two , a reverb , a delay . Most DAWS software comes with these .And some are better than the commercially expensive ones learn them one at a time know how to use them . Always listen to the tracks your working on through an MP3 player /iPhone ipod headphones .listen to how it sounds on your home stereo if it sounds great that's good but if it's too bassy or trebly .write some notes down ,then go back and make those changes to your mix in the daw software .
