I've heard a number of "as good as the payware" reviews, but you present seriously good stuff. There are a lot of good freeware and freeish ware out, but these plugs, and your synth suggestions, are top shelf. Thanks for the reviews. And the virtual coffee. I do the optional pants thing during the summer myself.

Supermassive is one of my absolute favorites. I’ve used only my harp to create some amazing drones and atmospheres. I also use it on nearly every single one of my songs because there’s just enough freedom and presets to tweak etc that you can get an insane amount of use out of it for a free plug in. And pairing Spitfires Soft Piano with it?! Just damn 🦄😩✨

Addition to the list - VCV Rack. Completely free and powerful modular synth (although it's practically a DAW now) with free access to things like Mutable Instruments, and trust me, you want Clouds for sound design. Over 2000 modules, and a lot of weird quirky things that don't really exist anywhere else. Modular can be time consuming, but also a huge time saver for certain things. One of my tricks is to load up one of the samplers, point it to a directory of, say, 300 hi-hat samples, and use sample and hold to randomly select samples for every note. Of course manipulating pitch and decay as well. That would take weeks to do elsewhere (as far as I know). Record, pull it into a session, and it's something unique that'll never happen again. One module will let you load NES roms and play any game with any CV source, or vice versa, another will let you play Snake with authentic graphics. Nuff said.

@VenusTheory 4 жыл бұрын

I almost had VCV in here but as it's not a true 'plugin' yet I left it off the list. Once VCV gets VST support though that'll be a gamechanger!

Good morning, Cameron. I appreciate this video. You get right to what you want to tell us about. You don't say "um". Straight facts. The plug-ins sound useful and fun. I'll be adding a couple to my Mixcraft stable. Enjoy your coffee. I am. :-) Plugins that I have used a lot: Filter Grizzly, Cajon-Fu (a shipload of my early stuff had this for drums) iZotope Mastering Essentials (I prefer this as mush as the 31-band EQ in Mixcraft) and for a synth - TAL Noisemaker. Peace, Cameron!

Most video tutorials seem to cater more to the music world. Would love to see a video of yours focusing on plug ins purely built for aiding sound effects editors. Thanks and keep up the amazing vids.

Thank you for the video. It's a great list of useful plugins! Actually, it took me some time to learn mixing-related things to realize how good these are. (as a beginner, one can't say why and when you need different compressors, but at some point it's like WOW, THAT'S WHY!!!) It's a good mix of well-known plugins as well as some extra things I've never heard before.
