10 FREE Plugins You Should Grab Now

[@Producelikeapro]

This is FANTASTIC Video! Great information and production value! Hooked my immediately David!! Thanks for posting!!

[@DennisWilliamsDJ]

​@@mixbustv I looked at both your recent free plugin video's and they compliment each other beautifully! Well done to you both, and thanks so much

[@MarkArandjus]

TDR Nova. Get it, I use it on all my mixing, it's so good. It's a dynamic EQ, so it'll make frequencies quieter like an EQ, but only when it goes over a certain volume. Very useful when an instrument has an annoying frequency on certain notes, but on other notes you want that frequency. Also what's great it has a button that shows you what it's cutting out, so you have full control over it!

[@slavesforging5361]

yup i use the TDR Nova as well. really solid.

[@RU-HDD-4-HVN]

TDR Nova and their other products are rock solid, transparent and better than free....It sounds great!!!!!

[@acidbath3226]

the best i can hardly hear a difference between tdr kotelnikov and softube compressor

[@heavymetalmixer91]

Notice that Eco and Precise modes are clean, but Precise+ introduces color in case you don't like it clean.

[@BenFortier]

All of the freeware TDR vsts are outstanding!

[@OscarCoronel]

I was fascinated with the Sonic Anomaly plugins, they deserve a lot of support. They sound great and the GUI looks sophisticated and functional.

[@djdizzy19]

Your cats fighting on the background! hahaha Thank you for always be updated! Transpire is awesome!

[@samuelkilik8233]

i dont see any cat

[@BenFortier]

I noticed that at the beginning too, haha. I was like "What the heck is that!?"

[@davidallenhammond2777]

Thanks David, will be downloading several of these today. I really appreciate you taking the time to show us these. :)

[@DTrecording]

That transient shaper and autotune effect were two things missing from my arsenal. This video was perfect so thank you!

[@itzlovemuzick]

In SLAX if you hit the + icon you can change the sound colouring of the olugin a bit

[@michal.ochedowski]

I have to say I regret not giving Garillion 2 a try. I used to read about it but didn't like the limitations. Right now I'm impressed with how much it can actually do and how good it sounds. By the way, S.LA.X has three sound coloration modes (FLAT, FAT 1, FAT 2). They can be accessed with "+" icon in the top right corner. It's one of my favorite compressors.

[@descendinguniverse]

Sonic Anomaly is amazing, I use their Unlimited limiter on master channel and Bass Professor II to quickly shape bass guitar tone. In fact I know every plugin shown here, so satisfying😀

[@miguelpessanha]

17:30 LA2A, not 1176. You can see by the stock time constant settings too.

[@dragon-id5uj]

dude ur friccin cool... this isnt a regurgitation of the same freebies i always see and also you just seem sure of yourself, down to the haircut and how you carry yourself. i'll be watching!

[@jaibhimadevi5805]

If you can run 32-bit Win plugins, all of the old Variety Of Sound (Bootsy) plugins are still very good. SlickHDR is a hidden gem.

[@mauricejones9834]

You should have a million subs! Thanx for this video bro!

[@slavesforging5361]

Wow Great plugins. thank you for this video/demo/gear guide! the Sonic Anomaly page really blew me away. downloaded several of their promising looking plugins.

[@peterbrandt7911]

Thanks David! Transpire was really a surprise, didn't know that so far. All the Auburn stuff is as cheap as the Klanghelm stuff. Defnitaly worth it.

[@drummerjeroensimons]

Thank you man for this great freeware edition of your great channel, keep up the good work there in LA!!!!

[@anttisaksi5735]

That graillon 2, wow. Thanks for this video man!

[@crimsun7186]

It's nice to see the Sonic Anomaly stuff getting some love. They're really great plugins. You could've also featured Bass Professor II, which is a channel strip just for bass, TriLeveler 2, which is what VOLA2 is but with some automated controls and you can configure how they behave. Essentially, a free alternative to the Waves Vocal Rider.

[@furryz666]

Hornet has a nice version of vocal rider on the cheap work very well

[@boimesa8190]

CrimSun not really an alternative to wave rider as this is a compressor..?

[@johannsoncrusoe5589]

Cool! Thank you! I will give the sonic anomaly stuff a try!

[@thegamingzone5963]

The temper vst is good for 808

[@lifewhyz]

Camel Crusher is almost a Desert Island plugin. If it had a delay on it, I could do without any other plugin. CamelPhat comes close, but the Compressor sounds different to me.

[@tradehut2782]

TDR Nova and Kotelnikov deserve top 10

[@lifewhyz]

NEVER knew Slate had a Freebie. DEFINITELY worth it.

[@TheMetea11]

I agree, Camel Crusher deserves being called a classic.

[@jeff7775]

metea it's become the go-to distortion plug for 808s in the Trap world. More so than the Decapitators of the world...

[@StevieBoyesmusic]

I forgot about this one! Nice!

[@daringmaster7872]

Can anyone help me install the plugins from Sonic Anomaly, specifically Transpire ... I've no idea what to do with a dll ... thanks.

[@acidbath3226]

point the location of the .dll file to your plugins from the daw or drop the file into your plugins folder. btw im on cubase 5 and still trying to get graillion to work, but i can't even get my drum VSTs to show up either to record my ekit so im stuck dubbing and exporting and shaping the sound of the entire kit through mono duplicates. everything else seems to work tho

[@_gheo]

In my opinion MT power dum kit sounds better that Slates, but it's good to know they have a freebie! Also, totally loved Transpire. Amazing video. Thank you very much for sharing!

[@traezaX1]

The vokals ... That song sounds really good

[@slavesforging5361]

Great video as always.

[@acidbath3226]

omg that transient and tube plugin is perfect for drums sonic anomaly is the fucking shit, thank you SA

[@mrufino1]

I’m not sure if I’m missing something but it looks like you are using a Mac and the sonic anomaly plugins are pc only for vst or Jsfx for reaper on Mac and pc (you aren’t using reaper either). How are they working? Or does the blue cat plugin allow windows vst to run on Mac?

[@Nathankaye]

@@mixbustv Dang! So none of the Sonic Anomaly plugins work in Cubase on Mac. Bummer.

[@mrufino1]

That explains it! I'll still check them out with reaper.

[@Gnurklesquimp]

I'm far from confident in investing money into plugins at the stage where I'm at, so free plugin suggestions are much appreciated!

[@acidbath3226]

check out tokyo dawn labs kotelnikov, ferrisTDR and Nova. they are all the best

[@Gnurklesquimp]

@@acidbath3226 Thank you

[@SirEggbertfartalot]

@@Gnurklesquimp I'm in the same place as you, just learning ;0) All of the plugins David mentioned are good. I agree with acidbath32 about TDR stuff, all of their plugs are top draw. Check out Melda Productions "Free bundle" as well, very comprehensive set of plug ins. Then there's the DeadDuck "free bundle" also well worth a look. Gvst does a nice collection too. Sanford delay and reverb work well. KVRaudio and vst4free are good websites for free plugin listings (with user ratings). The most important thing is.... HAVE FUN trying stuff out, and trust your ears ;0)

[@Gnurklesquimp]

@@SirEggbertfartalot Damn! I'm not even gonna end up having to buy anything at this rate hahah, I'll actually bookmark this video so I can come back to check all the suggestions here, thank you

[@SirEggbertfartalot]

@@Gnurklesquimp you're welcome ;0) Yes there are lots of "free" plugins out there to get us started. The paid for plugins are generally newer, more up to date code, quicker and easier to work with, and have more features. When our ears get good enough, and experience grows, they become worth paying for. But if you are just learning, free plugs are great ;0)

[@useeatruplaya]

Nice, definitely some I hadn't heard of and they work really well. That vola was very good for my podcast and radio show. Much easier then the ones I had been using.

[@Byronic19134]

Love this video because Transpire been my fav transient processor and it's good to see I wasn't tripping. All of Sonic Anamoly's plugs are really good. BTW on SLAX if you click the Sonic Anamoly logo it turns it around and has 3 different saturation modes.

[@boimesa8190]

Sonic anomaly is awesome!!!

[@HansBaier]

Molot is my favorite compressor, beats all my commercial plugins in sound and fatness. Especially on the drums and 2-bus.

[@lotr-ral-3332]

Will definitely give them a try. Thanks for sharing 🤓

[@M4Y0_]

Graillion2 sounds so great, thanks so much for the tip! :)

[@deltavistastudio124]

[@onlyvaccari]

Are these plugins mostly for Pro Tools or are some of them compatible with other DAW systems?

[@h.h1447]

hi. good video mixbustv :) wondering where i could get that drum loop on 7:30 ? thanks

[@therealcrspy508]

Love the video...couldn’t be more helpful to me right now...I don’t suppose you have he links to all of plugins? I see a few but not the slate drums etc

[@therealcrspy508]

[@kodykindhart8230]

Does anyone know where I can download the sonic anomaly plug-in from a legit source

[@itzlovemuzick]

I used the web archive which is a site that you can use to access websites that are no longer running if they are in the archives database this is the link to the web archives of the developers original site web.archive.org/web/20180703232552/sonic.supermaailma.net/plugins

[@1wretchedsoul]

Wait.... so who put Camel Audio back on the map? I had all their plugins and got an email a couple years ago to go and download all the stuff from my account because they were going out of business and closing the website.

[@teothegreek]

I've been using CamelCrusher for a long time and it never let me down! Also worth mentioning imo, are the free plugins Fat, Thin and Muscle, from MIA Laboratories. I can start a mix using only these three guys and get pretty decent results as a starting point. Great video! You get my sub! Thanks.

[@boimesa8190]

I heard they were good but they're all compressors so what's the difference?

[@teothegreek]

@@boimesa8190 They actually are just single-knob EQs. Therefore, I only expected them to fit in certain situations and sounds. While using them, I was preety amazed by their wide range of use and the interesting results they produced. Eventually, they actually sped my workflow up considerably and that's the main reason I suggest them.

[@boimesa8190]

it clearly states in their site that these are compressors... xD

[@teothegreek]

Fact is, nothing is clearly stated about the nature of this plugins. In the page of Muscle they mention that there is no compression going on. I assume they are a certain combination of their Musiqual EQs, according to this post: mialaboratories.com/piandphimk2-musiqualse-release/ I Quote: "Combining Musiqual Red, Green and Blue can produce remarkable results. Our new FREE plugins MIA Fat, MIA Thin and MIA Muscle pose a characteristic example of this technique."

[@Tekkerue]

10:55 what is the name of this band / song? Wow she has a fantastic voice! 👍 These were some amazing plugins. The Sonic Anomaly transient shaper and Auburn Sounds pitch shifter blew my mind!

[@seanissomething]

I know you have nice hardware compressors, but I’d love to hear what you think of the Frederick Alonso Infinity compressor, another free plugin that was recently released in 64 bit.

[@seanissomething]

MixbusTV yeah there was an old 32 bit version that was quite unstable but the updated version was released just recently and should be more stable.

[@666Ekinox]

Any good saturation plugins for electric guitars ?

[@666Ekinox]

@@mixbustv Thank you, i'm trying to get mid harmonics to shine and distort, but with the saturation i've tryed so far, i get alot of high range grain noise.

[@666Ekinox]

@@mixbustv Thank you for taking the time to answer me. It's really appreciated! Subscribed! I have checked out Saphira, and am thinking of buying it. I am using an old peavey bandit 112 (green one) amp with distortion at 2.5. The tone is really the way i want it. I am trying to dirty/lo fi it a little.

[@antoniobrooks3940]

[@DICACIO1]

Thank You! We music producers, beat makers & songwriters can always use different plugins so each track/song sounds different, and we're not always depending on the same ole' cookie cutter sounds we can become accustomed to and/or enslaved to, if not thinking "outside the box" on a daily! LOL!
