I bought a library not too long ago for contact that apparently used the actual tapes that 10cc used in the studio. It wasn't expensive. I have to see if I can find it.

The free VI's/plugs list.

Post by James Steele »

Behringer has a new free VI out. Be forewarned their site is jacked up right now so you may have problems registering the free license, but you can at least download it. I don’t know if it works in demo mode for a while or what. I haven’t installed it yet.

https://plugins.musictribe.com/behringer/0723-AAD

I even made some NKS support files for it, attached. Be warned. No audio previews or tagging.

Sorry. I try. I don’t have an Intel system anymore so wasn’t aware of those issues.

Kompose Audio Arcturus Kontakt Instrument - FREE

Post by James Steele »

This one requires full version of Konakt and is FREE, but you have to "purchase" the free instrument at Kompose Audio's site, so I guess they'll get an email. They'll send you a code which you redeem and then download with Pulse Downloader. Honestly it sounds pretty good. Basically the ethereal sustainy pad kind of thing.

Sixth Sample: SpotOn vocal tuner (and others)

Post by stubbsonic »

I just saw a little demo for a free, simple, and pretty effective vocal tuner called Spoton.

https://sixthsample.com/spoton/

Could be useful when one just wants a simple "touch-up" tuning.

There are other free and pay plugins on this developer's site, including dynamics, distortion, filters, also, an interesting looking "Noise-Assisted Stereo Enhancer". (looks like all permanent licenses).

https://sixthsample.com/plugins/
M1 MBP; OS 12, FF800, DP 11.3, Kontakt 7, Reaktor 6, PC3K7, K2661S, iPad6, Godin XTSA, Two Ibanez 5 string basses (1 fretted, 1 fretless), FM3, SY-1000, etc.

Get GForce Access FREE at PB with code

Get GForce Access FREE at PB with code

https://www.pluginboutique.com/products/12022-AXXESS

Add it to cart... skip the free gift because you can't have one if you use the code to get AXXESS free. Check out as normal and use the code xxw5cxly to drop the price from $83 or so down to $0!

FYI... not sure where the code came from. Found it on a site, but it worked for me although fulfillment isn't immediate. I went into my Plugin Boutique account area and it says I'll get an email with my serial number at some point.
