5 Cheap Plugins Most Sound Designers Need

[@jochisfx]

thanks akash, I really needed a randomiser and a whoosh plugin and.. here they are lol!

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

Hahaha glad I could help!

[@illustrious-jaco]

for any mac users, a free set of tools i always recommend are Michael Norris's SoundMagic Spectral. really wonky sound design plugins that make some cool sounds. he's also got some cool stuff for max/msp but i haven't jumped into that world yet. great vid Akash!

[@RambunctiousFlan]

Whoosh is a godsend, thank you for making me aware of it!!

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

Happy to help!

You've turned me into a plug-in perv Akash Thakkar you cream filled creme brulee. I use izotope repair assistant (cheap version of rx10) for de-noise and clarity vx for voice together (they're very good!). Also massive for synthesis. That reverb plug-in look pretty damn good! Will definitely bag some of these! Great video!

Thanks for sharing, very helpful.

[@tomaspalazzi]

Amazing video, I didn't know a couple of these ones!

[@IsiahKendall]

Great List! Thanks for sharing this information

[@Nawer_Rapter]

I think I just got a out of body experience now that I know what to pick to do whooshes. Damn all the hours of battling myself.

[@NunoBentoSound]

My more common picks are Neutron (elements - having transient shaper, eq, exciter, compressor and limiter all in one) it's a Swiss army knife and Valhalla Reverb - MetaPlugin will open a lot of doors specially for us on Mac too :) (outside of plugins, I recommend Snapper)

[@mitsuki1388]

I started using Neutron Elements and eventually went to the Advanced version and it covers so many bases for me as a Technical Sound Designer. It's a swiss knife, very transparent, very visual (helps when working with hundreds of assets in a rush) and very efficient. Definitely recommend starting elements and eventually maybe upgrading

love u bro

[@DankTankStudios]

Serum is awesome but if anyone is interested... Pigments by Arturia is worth checking out.

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

Also an incredibly good synth.

[@mitsuki1388]

I use Pigments simply because I fell in love with it's workflow, so intuitive!

[@jona8659]

I'd just go for Vital instead of Serum if i were on a budget, with the former being free and all.

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

Yup! That’s why it’s in my free plugins video and not this one.

[@jona8659]

@@AkashThakkarAudio Ah fair, i didn't see that one. I figured it'd still be worth mentioning here tho, since the two are basically equally powerfull except for some minor edgecases.
