Free Audio Plugins VST, AU, RTAS

ClipStar

ClipStar is a free compressor VST plugin developed by de la Mancha. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

ClipStar is a soft clipper effect plug-in designed to prevent peaks in a subtler way than hard clipping, increase loudness and add pleasing saturation.

Where ClipStar differs from other clippers is that it can leave the low frequencies untouched, where distortion is more evident, and allow a greater boost in gain without noticeably degrading the signal.

You can use ClipStar for peak protection, for loudness gain or for sympathetic distortion depending on your mood and the phase of the moon.

Features:

Vintage style soft clipper with low frequency bypass and comprehensive metering.

In gain & Out gain adjustable to +/- 30 dB.

Soft clip limit can be set from 0 to -30 dB.

Low frequency bypass cut off from 0 to 1000 Hz.

Low frequency gain can be adjusted from +/- 30 dB.

Subtle colouring from a home-made blend of harmonics, saturation and noise.

Optional hard limiting on final output.

Metering covers stereo input, output and gain reduction. All meters show actual and peak levels.

Adjustable peak meter hold time.

Double-click knob resets.

Developed with SE 1.1.

ClipShifter 2

ClipShifter 2 is a free limiter and clipper VST, VST3, Audio Unit, RTAS, AAX plugin developed by LVC-Audio. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

ClipShifter is a wave-shaping clipping-style limiter that provides enough user controls to be useful in all mixing stages. ClipShifter uses a unique threshold control to change the clipping threshold dynamically based on the transient characteristics of the incoming audio. The sonic characteristics of the clipping distortion can be altered from hard, brickwall-style clipping, to softer saturation with compression. Additional parameters allow the user to control the even- and odd-order components of the saturation.

ClipShifter is released as a free and paid plugin. The paid plugin adds oversampling (2, 4, and 8 times) with selectable double processing, mid/side processing, and a 3-way multiband frequency control. The multiband frequency control can be used to apply clipping to certain frequency bands independently, while the free version applies the audio clipping to the entire frequency spectrum.

Major features

Plugin Features::

Clipping style limiter: from transparent sounding compression to hard clipping distortion.

Initial and End thresholds controls that can dynamically change the clipping level based on the incoming signal.

Controls for Clip Shape (hard to soft) and harmonics (even- and odd-order).

Visual display of signals using VU-style, PPM-style, and loudness/RMS meters to monitor input and output levels.

Scalable waveform history view with click-and-drag editing of clipping thresholds.

Paid Features::

Multiband EQ controls: 3-band EQ crossover, with independent processing of each band through the clipping algorithm.

Oversamping: 2X, 4X, and 8X internal oversampling to reduce aliasing.

Double processing: additional option to process audio an additional time through the clipping algorithm when oversampling is engaged.

Mid/Side processing: Selectable control for processing Mid/Side signals independently.

System Requirements and Specifications:

Windows: VST, VST3, RTAS, and AAX plugin formats. Limited-MAX requires Windows XP SP 3 or newer with a processor that supports SSE2 (AMD or Intel processor from around 2004 or later). An iLok device is required to use the AAX format.

OS X: AU, VST, VST3, RTAS, and AAX plugin formats. Limited-MAX requires OS X 10.5 or later, and an Intel processor. An iLok device is required to use the AAX format.

ClipShifter can be purchased for $24.95 USD. For more information or to download the free/demo version, visit LVC-Audio.

Classic Equalizer

Classic Equalizer is a free equalizer VST, VST3, Audio Unit, AAX plugin developed by IK Multimedia. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

T-RackS Classic Equalizer consists of a high quality six-band parametric EQ, specially designed to achieve high-end performance in a mastering environment. The T-RackS Classic Equalizer consists of a high quality six-band parametric EQ, specially designed to achieve high-end performance in a mastering environment. The design of this parametric EQ filter bands allows to perform broad EQing such as giving “air” to the high end, “fullness” to the low end or “focus” to the midrange of a mix with a nice and smooth result for creative and musical applications; when needed though, given its flexibility, this processor can be used very effectively to perform very precise interventions; considering the sharpness its peaking bands can reach, it makes it easy to remove a troublesome frequency without touching the rest of the spectrum.

Classic T-RackS Equalizer can now be used in Stereo or MS modes.

The equalizer comprises the following bands:

4th order High-pass filter, from 16 Hz to 5.3 kHz.

Low shelving type filter, from 30 Hz to 200 Hz.

Low-mid peaking type filter, from 33 Hz to 5.4 kHz, variable Q.

High-mid peaking type filter, from 200 Hz to 17.5 kHz, variable Q.

High shelving type filter, from 750 Hz to 8.5 kHz.

4th order Low-pass filter, from 200 Hz to 18 kHz.
