“As the lockdown continues and pay packets are being stung I thought I would share with you 5 great free Audio plugins for Music Producers”.

Valhalla Super Massive

This is by far the best free plugin I’ve ever found its a reverb & delay all rolled into one which generates some otherworldly sounds! Its particularly good used on a bus. Automate some tracks going to it and you’ll get some really great suspense and builds in your tracks! There’s loads of great presets to get you started too!

Cableguys Pancake 2

This is my go-to plugin for panning! It gets applied to everything that I want to pan and it is great used after delays in a chain to get some really great results! You can draw your own pan patterns and there’s some great presets too! 100% recommend this!

Streaky Smiley

A simple and fun EQ, works great on a master channel to add some low and high energy to your track. I find this particularly useful when bouncing a track to test and send to people to check before sending off for mastering.

Klanghelm IVGI

This is a great saturation plugin that I find works great on bus tracks. I especially like applying it lightly to vocals to give them more energy and on percussion drum busses!
