Forgive me if this thread already exists, but it might be good to get a list of free plug-ins, especially good ones that you'd recommend to others.

Obviously there's the KVR database (http://www.kvraudio.com/get.php?mode=results&st=adv&soft=e&type%5B%5D=0&f=0&fe=0&win=1&free=1&sf=0&receptor=&sort=1&rpp=100), filtered here for all free Windows effects.

There's a short list on this German site (http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~thman/start.html).

Digital Fish Phones (http://www.digitalfishphones.com) has some good compressors.

Soundhack's +decimate (http://www.soundhack.com/stuff/+decimateW.zip) is a good bit/sample reducer.

Who's got a good, low CPU rent brick wall limiter?

TLs_pocket_limiter - good limiter (problem in Reaper???)


Working here!...sort of, actually Reaper seems to have a bit of a problem in general with limiters on the master out, and/or parent folder track, I couldn't figure out why, when I record armed a track, and played into the mic, I was getting crackles and distortion...(oh no what the....did I do now, this was working fine yesterday)... until I turned off Buzmaxi3, I swapped it for classic master limiter, and TLs, but same problem, simple work around, just turn off while recording, playback and render is unaffected....hmmm..I don't think Reaper likes having too many fx on the master out either...someone could prove me wrong though.

...phew...yawn....where's my coffee

Now I need speech synthesizers: one that produces sound like the old commodore64/Atari computerized digital speech,and one that sounds very realistic.
The FLStudio speech synth is not very good for this and sounds very "fruity" :( ,but the male voice in the Opera web browser based on the IBM engine sounds (phrases) very realistic for a synthesized thing.
The biggest problem of the FLStudio speech synth is making it
speak languages other than english,like German,Russian,Japanese,etc. that rely on using pure vowels and hard consonants.Too hard to make the Fruity speech synth do this. For example,I can't make it "speak" the German word "Kanalisation" correctly.
"Kawnawleesawtseeon" sounds too weird to be useful.
Also,a good free vocoder can help with this kind of stuff.The Fruity one is not useful for making that vintage 80's "computerized/robotic" voice,like Kraftwerk's or that used in early 90's "Electronica/Techno" music for example.

I'm not sure if I fully see what you're looking for. But I got some good experiences with the TTS (text to speech) functionality of Wavepad, a good free wav and mp3 editor (http://www.nch.com.au/wavepad/masters.html) . It you need German or other languages, just download the needed language components (http://www.microsoft.com/msagent/downloads/user.asp) and use them in Wavepad. You can treat the actual sound file in Wavepad itself (supports DX, VST) or use a free VST vocoder in REAPER such as:

SIR Impulse Response Processor
http://www.knufinke.de/sir/index_en.html

A great free effect plugin, with more power and possibilties than Wizoo Verb (250 bucks). The best free real reverb tool you can get, I suppose.

Be sure to check the impulse responses file depository:
http://noisevault.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=29
Start downloading some Lexi impulses, load the waves in SIR and see what it does to your sound. Amazing. Also check the cabinets etc. to perfectionize guitar sounds. And... too much to mention.

And if you like experiments, you can try out loading any wav file you like... Well, endless possibilities; a superb reverb tool that can be transformed in a versatile synth.

(I edited this post twice, a bit unsure about the actual quality and usability of the plugin. Tried out various things now; it's simply great).

Already mentioned by Art, but here you'll find the AMBIENCE reverb and the NYQUIST paragraphic equalizer:

Art Evans
04-01-2006, 06:16 AM
I think reverbs like SIR can work very well if the original material is pretty dry - otherwise there is a danger that you'll be listening to two acoustics at once - the original one and the convolution-produced one, which can unsettle your ears.

This one is not free - but I'm so gobsmacked by the Rayspace reverb that I'm actually going to pay money for it, which isn't like me!! I've never heard a reverb which always sounds so natural and believable when used on acoustic music (well, unless you really stuff up the settings). Very well worth trying, and the interface is quite addictive - though you would be well advised to read through the short help file to get the best results. http://www.quikquak.com/ is the site.

I hadn't realized RaySpace was so inexpensive! I'll have to look into it, as I've heard nothing but GLOWING reviews from all corners.

Here's something I've just come across - a CD I recorded way back - listen to a couple of these excerpts and you'll hear why at the end of the day there's no reverb like the real thing. I recorded it in a South London church using a single pair of mics via a preamp direct to DAT and it was edited and mastered with no eq or effects at all - those were the days!

http://www.emusic.com/album/10601/10601155.html has it. [Not a commercial plug as I have no further financial interest in this].

Here's something I've just come across - a CD I recorded way back - listen to a couple of these excerpts

Art, that's the first time I hear someone refer to Shostakovich's opus 34 as just something :) Indeed a great sound, very well recorded. Did you ever happen to record his op. 87 as well? - which I think is one of THE compositional masterpieces of the last century. It was written for Tatjana Nikolayeva, who plays it in a cool but heartbreaking manner, and therefore it doesn't even matter too much that the actual (recording) sound of her performance are very much below average (now I know: she should have asked Art Evans to handle her sound).

I would think that it's mighty difficult to get a good grip on reverb control when recording solo piano in a church, the piano being a chamber instrument, op. 34 being chamber music. You must be a real professional, and a very good one. Colin Stone, the performer, isn't too bad either - but Nikolayeva is I think another and more rare division.
Thanks for the info & link.

Art Evans
05-01-2006, 06:14 AM
No to op.87 - but I did edit the complete, live Beethoven sonatas performed by Tatjana Nikolayeva, release on the Olympia label. The first I think to be released by a female pianist. The opportunities for editing were relatively few - we simply had the masters from the live performances with no patches, so all one could do was to take tiny bits from repeats where necessary, and where possible. The great majority were necessary because it appeared that if a member of the audience had a very bad cough, the concert managers invited them to sit nearest to the mics and to make as much disturbance as possible. Perhaps I am being unsympathetic to those who have to endure the Russian winter.

I also recall being in the audience at her final Wigmore Hall concert in London - she received a huge bunch of flowers at the end, and then decided to play an encore - she laid the flowers actually inside the piano, and of course it then didn't function very well, requiring her to stop and remove them, much to the amusement of the very affectionate English audience.

Sorry guys, getting off topic...

KVR news: "Sonicbytes has released Preview 3 of Phrazor. This free unlimited preview version provides the complete live functionality, a detailed manual and fixes many plugin issues."

Interesting VST for several reasons, I'd say:

Yeah, tried that and couldn't quite work out where it fitted into the scheme of things. At the time I was having the problem reported earlier with vsti, since solved, but thought that Phrazer was involved so deleted it again.

Yeah, tried that and couldn't quite work out where it fitted into the scheme of things.

I like the key splits functionality among other things. And well, the current (free) download of Phrazor provides more or less the same functions that people who buy NI's new KORE pay 500 dollars for.
But yes, it is essentially very useful for live performances and not a must have for recording.

Cheers, I must have that one somewhere but forgot about it... I record all concerts with an MS pair (Sennheiser MKH series) and normally use a hardware MS mic preamp, but sometimes now use them straight into the Motu Traveler, and thus need a decoder for monitoring. Also that vst is handy for adding extra width and natural reverb to a stereo recording lacking 'life'.

I just started using Jesusonic a few days ago and made this script, it's rather crude and samples need to be the same sample rate as project and they need to be stereo and not too long (though I had success with 4 second long samples!) here's the code, you can copy and paste as a new effect, make a directory in "data" folder and throw samples in. Also note changing samples during playback doesn't work too well. Again, rather crude, but it works and have used it in a few songs already (saved me from having to load up Logic to do this exact thing)...

"Prodyspace is a new kind of 4d-Panner which has been designed to put Instruments within a mix to the front or to the back. To achieve this effect, the Prodyspace uses delay-modulation (kind of spatial processing), intelligent filtering and very short reverberation
Not only you can place sounds in the left or right within a mix, now it´s even possible to place them in the front or back of a mix. This allows easy working with all types of sound sources. The Prodyspace has been designed to make it easier working with instruments that are different to mix. Now, mixing Instruments is a breeze!"

Works very well, imo, for room simulation. Left in the back of the room there's your bassist freaking, far to his right the drummer is going nuts, the guitarist is moving to the front playing slide with a bottle of Smirnoff and to his left the singer is shouting to shut the fuck up -

Endorphin I once used on a recording of a huge work by Messain for two pianos - I used it to widen the soundstage according to level, slightly, (using the ms setting) which gave the effect of having two stereo mics, close and distant, and appearing to do subtle gainriding of the close mics, which is a quite often used production technique, except I only had one pair of mics in use.

Hello everyone, I'm looking for an effect plugin that will allow me to multiply two (or more) tracks together, in the same way Audition's modulate paste function works. I've tried Trashcoder, which I hoped would be doing about the same thing but the results aren't quite the same... any ideas? If not - it's (I think) mathematically extremely simple - is JS the way to do this (I must admit I haven't tried yet) but otherwise anyone know guides to making vst/dx plugins?

07-06-2006, 07:53 AM
The AirEQ is nice sounding indeed and the demo verson simply resets on loading and does not alow saving of presets.

You can manually create presets by editing the text files I've found. Some math is involved e.g to convert 20-2000Hz into 0-1, etc...

so maybe not completely "free" as you still have to manually choose the preset when loading (or dial in all the values again), but pretty sweet deal...

Posihfopit is quite incredible : 8bands, many eq types, very versatile, nice sounds...
(it is the free version of Electri-Q, which also have spectrum analysis, and more than 96 types of eq !)

waymm Nweq is more "creamy", and the knobby GUI reminds me a bit AireQ. Nweq is very fine.
there is also a payware version.

fluffy
07-06-2006, 10:45 AM
NWeq is pretty good, although VERY cpu intensive.

Posihfopit is pretty good, although I never really found it to be quite as great as some people find it.

If you can muster up a copy of the free version of PLParEq by Refined Audiometrics Lab, it's probably the best software eq I've heard (it's also very cpu intensive). It's completely transparent and uncolored.

It may be hard to get hold of, however, as it's a commercial product now. You may still be able to get the single band version for free.

Just tried 'Posihfopit' for the first time and heck, that's quite an eq, if only in terms of the interface. And now I've cast an eye over the manual, I see there's about ten times more to it than meets the eye! Nice one. The only thing that worries me is the addition of "soft distortion" - I'm not sure I want that.... ah, reading on I see I need to use the Digital mode to remove the distortion.

sinkmusic
07-06-2006, 04:47 PM
Yes, it is better to read the manual to get out the best of Posihfopit.
The "soft distortion" is really soft (i would say nearly "creamy").
But you can get clean sound in using another algorithm.

Hey gang, a while ago I ran across a VST that multiplied vocals, from 1 to n (you know turn one voice into a choir). I was testing against Reaper and it had issues in earlier versions, so I deleted it. I am pretty sure that I found the download reference somewhere in this forum. I would like to have another look, but now I can't find it again. Does this ring a bell for anyone?? If so can you point me to the download. Many Thanks

Added later...It is NOT Clone Ensembler...it was something else

Added later again...Just in case anyone else is interested, I found it on Audio Forum (thanks Vulcan) It is the Chorus CH-2 from AG Works, and you can get it at http://www.kvraudio.com/get/2073.html. Earlier testing in Reaper sometimes led to issues when I was tweaking parameters during Playback, but I had a specific need where I inserted it, stopped play when I changed things and it works pretty good. One other word of warning....it is a CPU PIG.

Yep, this is one of those examples of a VST that is not written to the standard spec, and therefor causes a problem in Reaper. I do use it occasionally with Reaper, but with a very careful workaround. Do not change any of the settings realtime in the plugin while Reaper is in playback. Stop the playback, make the changes and start the play again. I know it is not ideal, which is why I punted this one off my vst list in the first place. I try to avoid stuff that is not built to standard, but for specific situations I like this plugin and am okay with "careful usage". My recent need was doing a cover of "Fat Bottom Girls", which turned out great by the way. I did four part harmony and used foldering to apply the first effect chain. Then I routed the output of that to a new track and applied it again with different panning. This thing gave me that big fat Queen choir sound. It definately can cause crashes in Reaper, so use it very carefully.

The French appear to have their own JS plugins line! :D

Free noise reduction plugs and a very useful pan delay among the goodies... Page is in French but the whole pack is such a small download (108 kb) you could easily try them all out.

I LOVE what a subtle use of pan delay can do to a track or as a mastering effect to a whole project.

CamelCrusher is a free versatile 'colouring' multi-effect plugin. It offers two characteristically different distortion sounds which can be blended together to create a wide variety of tones and textures. Great for guitars, drums and plenty more!

There's also a warm, smooth analogue-style low-pass filter, with buckets of resonance. Assign a MIDI controller and start tweaking!

Finally, let's not forget the easiest-to-use compressor you'll find anywhere. It can 'phatten' up your sound as quickly as you can turn up the 'Amount' knob! Find out more in the manual

Best of all, CamelCrusher is available free of charge!
Camel Audio CamelCrusher is a freeware vst plugin multi effect, featuring distortion and compressor. It is one of many vst plugins available from Camel Audio

Play a bass line with normal 6 string guitar in a multitrack session (usually allowing more control over bends, speed and the like).

Drop the track an octave, adjust EQ and blend in. Nice??

My question is how do I get them into Reaper so I can actually use em. I've tried to download several things into my program, the reaper logo comes up like it's ready to install but then I get an error message and won't accept the file. I've tried unzipping the files and copying them into the insert area but still no luck. Is there just a simple setting I need to change in reaper to accept these zip file downloads. Thanks

Most of my favourites are already mentioned, but this is a long thread, so I don't remember which ones. I will only list the ones I love the most. All of these can be found easy, just put the name and "vst" or "vsti" in google.

And guys, don't forget to try Soundfonts. "Sfz vst" will play them, and the unpackers and fonts are easily downloadable at
http://www.soundfonts.it/
There are some mean VST's and VSTi's available also.

VST:

Electri-Q Posihfopit, incredibly versatile and good sounding EQ.
IQ4, mind-blowing "dynamic eq", http://www.platinumears.com/IQ4gui.zip
Digitalphishphones Dominion, attack booster / dynamic processor.
MyMag, tape saturation.
CamelCrusher, 2 overdrives, lp-filter + compressor. All of them sound extraordinary.
Tls Saturated Driver, a great master driver/compressor/limiter.
Tls Pocket Limiter, the best master limiter. L2 sucks compared to this! ;o)
Voxengo Boogex, guitar amp sim that works with impulses.
Gsnap, free autotune.
Voxengo SPAN, spectrum analyzer.
Effectizer, all fx needed for keyboards like the Rhodes and organ.

VSTi:

Prova, East-European grand piano. Makes me cry.
MrRay, the best Rhodes ever.
Aube, beautiful soft e-piano.
Plugsound Free, a great jazz drumset, some keyboards, a guitar...
Organized Trio, hammond.
Siecles, very frankencrazyish church organ.

And everything (free) from these sites:

Yes, the notes sometimes end very unnaturally. Takes a while to learn to be careful with that. But a small ambience helps with that also. And PSP Pianoverb ofcourse.

Anyhow. Has anyone seen a free Noise Removal plugin? There are tons of gates, and the JS Noise Filtre and Noise Attenuator that helps a bit, but they are still very different than for example Voxengo Redunoise that is so far my favourite of the commercial ones. Been googling for that several times during the last 6 months but can't find anything.

Art Evans

Proper noise reduction isn't something that is likely to be found free. Off the top of my head, Acoustica 4 (and its stable mates) might be about the cheapest editor with NR you're likely to find.

A good hint, thanks. However, for a $100 VST, the Voxengo Redunoise is just marvellous. I got better results with Redunoise than I did with Waves X-Noise.

I don't think I'm ready to do the "noiselessing" in another software. Even if I use it very rarely, I guess I have to get ready to come up with the $100 for the Redunoise.

It's funny though, all other tools, VST's and VSTi's are easily available free. I guess noise reduction is a lot more complicated.

Hi, great thread. I started off on n-Track then jumped across to Reaper. Anyway, I need an easy to use beat box drum machine, all I want is something with two button, one for tempo and on for type of rythm , okay maybe not that basic but you know what I mean. I'm a guitar guy for goodness sake, too many button confuse me !

01-24-2007, 10:43 AM
hey Polar, and welcome to Reaper!

I'm an old N user too (emphasis on OLD ;) ). Actually, you'll find quite a few of us here.

I use FL for drums, but that's pretty involved. Have you had a look at N's drums? It should load inside Reaper just fine.

Yes, after thinking about how good "n" drums were i realised I had a copy on my work pc, I have it here now but can't see the plugin when its in my "plugin" dir ?


Can't get over how good this software is, using NI plugins at the moment to make my terrible guitar playing sound pro ( ish)

Actually recording adds a whole new dimension though !

teej813
01-24-2007, 01:22 PM
hmmmm.. yeah, you're right. N drums don't show up for me either, and i'm not sure why. It's a .dll file, and it's in with all my other VSTs.

Is it possible that some .dll's won't work outside their main host?

fluffy
01-24-2007, 02:40 PM
Can't speak to N-Tracks, specifically, but some developers (Reaper's included) make it so that their plugins only work in their DAW.

Seems plausible that N-Track may follow suit.

teej813
01-24-2007, 05:15 PM
That seems to be the case here, fluffy. shame too... N's drums are pretty decent.

That Ilusionister plugin, does it work well, withot too many noticeable sonic artifacts ?

Probably posted before but I found it only recently: Silverspike's Roommachine 844. Since I found it it nestled itself in my default fx chain. Why is such a useful plug free?
http://www.silverspike.com/?Products:RoomMachine_844

"RoomMachine 844 is not a reverb effect that delivers long, silky reverberation tails, instead RoomMachine focuses on early reflections determined by the position of sound source and listener. RoomMachine 844 puts your track right into the room. Can be used as a master effect but is even more useful on single tracks or sections.

Operation is in full stereo and all processing is performed in high quality, 32 bit floatingpoint precision. An easy to use interface with realistic, animated knobs gives you the look and feel of a true machine."

I see it posted here that Antress has a synth out, but I can't seem to find it on the Antress Modern plugin page. Is it still available? Does someone have a direct link? His/her other plugins are awesome and I would love to see what a Modern Synth would look and sound like!

Does anyone know how I can strip vocals from a song ? I've got some comedy vocals for a chart song here and its either re-record the track or strip vocals from the original ?

Answered my own question :P

AnalogX vocal remover works ( pretty much ) as a dx plugin in reaper

The only vocal removal software I've come across that really works - leaving the end result as stereo, and with a full bass response - is the "centre channel extractor" tool in Audition 2.0. You could download a trial of that if you wanted a possibly better result - but it's a 500Mb download, I think.

What the AnalogX utility does is just the usual phase reversal etc trick. I can't remember the exact method but it's very straightforward.

Hi,

I tried that Flux -Bitter Sweet plugin and encountered a problem.

It worked ok when i added it to the project ... but later when i tried to re-open the project it didn't open anymore.

I didn't know what to do so i opened the .rpr file (made a backup before doing so ... of course) and bypassed all of the effects. The effect that was causing this "crash on opening" was this Bitter Sweet plugin.

Have anyone else encountered this problem? (i'm running rpr 1.828).

*correction*
It didn't start working with bypass. I had to remove the whole entry for it. The plug in seems to work normally if i add it to a project.

Yup, confirmed. Same happened to me, twice. Bypassing it in the project file didn't work. Had to delete the whole entry for that plug-in before the project would load. Shame, I liked the effect. But at least I now totally appreciate the human readable project file. Bloody fantastic!:)

EDIT: Oh, I'll go download the fixed version then. :)

I agree Art. Pipe and I were beta testers some time ago, and both were underwhelmed. I just got it again (it WAS a major pain to get), and while a couple of the eqs are pretty nice sounding, it's still very underwhelming. The interface is a mess, too.

Just a little information: Nebula will be a little less underwhelming. Sorry if the first release was a bit confused. It's a powerful technology, it is able to do so many things, we dedicated only a little time to the gui and the interface. The commercial Nebula3 will be more user-friendly

This one could please our death metal man scum, but many others looking for extremely heavy & distorted guitar 'n other sounds as well:

http://habib.webhost.pl/vst_extremist.php

It does a good job, I really like it and you probably won't find this kind of distortion in most amp sims. Useful EQ and noise gate on board, Great Death 3 preset!

Nebula is simply stunning :) I'd love to see some tape emulation and Avalon DI-box (with passive filters) presets in it... I think Nebula has the potential: very analog sound ! Congratulations.

HaHa - Fantastic! Reaktor and Massive down the drain! :) The VSTi is a great piece of work; an exact software copy of the real thing, all sliders etc. working as they should. And that sound! Modern nostalgia... Let's write a quartet for the Casio! Thanks for that link.

whereas you certainly deserved to win the Big One in the competition you mentioned in that thread, Art :)

so you already knew all about it... now I imagine you playing the Casio in REAPER while waiting for an Anton Webern quartet to begin :)

But I wanted to posy some links to fine & famous lists of useful midi plugins written by NicFit and Soma for eXT but for the most of them working just as well in REAPER:
