Going all freeware (well... almost)

[ginormous]

...because KVR's on page 821 of their freebie VSTi thread.

They've got 43 pages on 32-bit VST effects alone.

Gremlin, you around? We used one of your synths on this one: https://soundcloud.com/jorgensandberg/close-fullmix14

Want a credit? I can't find the session, and forgot the name of the synth. But it brought a lot to the track - all presets. Great thing, I'd say.

Good news. Sanford Reverb now is free and avaliable in 32bit and 64bit versions.

I got amazing results using SR, it worth a try!

In the interest of keeping things tight, want to let you know that Suburban Guitarist at this link is apparently no longer available.

However, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for this always informative thread, Mr. Gremlin.

So......... Thanks.

Trying to re-locate a free vst, and hoping someone may be able to help(spent the last couple hours looking with no luck). It was a free sequencer, possibly drum sequencer?, and had a very interesting grid type matrix, that allowed multiple sequences to move in a horizontal and vertical direction. They rebound off the grids walls and reverse direction causing interesting patterns in many different ways. I thought it was possibly from an old KVR Developers Challenge, but didn't find it there either. If anyone has a clue, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

edit: Just found it on BPB. It was Nova3 from Tonecarver if anyone is interested.

Well, if you have a sample reader/player that reads sf2 (an old sample format), you might want to look at this website:

Hi all! Not to confuse people:

This is the original old gems thread dreadd started(2007-2015, 838 pages atm): http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewto...p?f=1&t=177407

Here is my thread (the first 230 pages atm) in a clean & updated linklist. The rest (231-8xx) will follow within some weeks or months. This Old Free VSTi Gems From The Past / in short 2015 version has:
- no comments/conversation between the link suggestions
- nearly no links to software or demos, just "free vst" related links
- nearly no dead/outdated links
- no multiple entries for VST's (believe me there is/was many of them in such a big thread! lol)
- updated links to the most serious download location
- enbedded additional keywords for special vst hunters
- brought together informations about a topic from different posts
- additional (safety anker) download locations for rare stuff
- updated content like new links, that was not aviable 2007 - x

Since many Oatmeal lovers hang out here... do you know how to change the name on a bank's preset? Say from init20 to mypreset.
I know I can save omp and fxp but I rather use banks.

Beyerdynamic have released a freebie for mixing with headphones:


Beyerdynamic Virtual Studio

http://europe.beyerdynamic.com/virtual-studio.html

[ivansc]

That Beyer thingy will be interesting to try....

[ginormous]

I use the Beyer Virtual Studio for mixes, and it lives up to the sales pitch.

Here's a good one: a VSTi that re-creates a Roland analog drum machine, that's still popular on the dance floor.

I like the sound (but not for its intended purpose). And it looks like it doesn't report its latency to the host.

[dea-man]

I tried the Beyer thing-y but found it ridiculously over-the-top. I'd rather just put Ozone, or something, on the master if I'm going to go that route.

I know that the two are not meant for the same thing but, the Beyer just seemed really harsh to me. Maybe that is what it's supposed to reveal.

Anywho, if I was going to mix with headphones, shouldn't I be able to A/B my favorite recordings to get to the same "like/kind and quality" product?

Yeah, but I think it's nice as reverb (room sound).

[dea-man]

Well OK, if you like it for that, but that can be achieved with any other number of plu-ins AND the Beyer is doing much more to the sound than just room ambience.

[Dstruct]

Yeah, but it's free and sometimes you'll have to misuse plugins

[dea-man]

Points taken.

It's just "too much" for my tastes.

In electronic music there sometimes isn't "too much"

That's what it does for me: reveals what's missing. If I get too muddy a sound in the "car audio" preset, I tighten it up a bit.

I can get an honest representation of various environments before going back to the original mix. I never stay in Virtual Studio for the entire mix session, though. I use an Auratone 5C impulse response and sum to mono in the master bus for the same reason. If I can't hear it all in those different sound stages, it needs work, because not everyone hears what the clean mix sounds like.

Ignite Amps has updated their Pultec-style EQ plugin; it now has extensive midrange capability, including variable bandwidth, filtering, and analog modeling for 4 different tube types.

The PTEq-X is in version 1.0.1, for Windows XP/Vista/7/8 VST (32- and 64-bit), and Mac AU (OS-X 10.6).

Just got this to see if it will replace the UAD version I was using until I managed to kill my UAD-1 install & cant find a way to get it back!

Clicked on the link in his sig... his domain has expired.

Indeed, that's why I said 'maybe he needs some help with his hosting'

If you want to try them, they are available at waybackmachine

Offline rendering doesn't seem to work properly here with this (distorts much more than on playback/online render). Anyone can confirm?

FIXED (1.0.3)
