Free Enhancer & Exciter Plugins

ReFine

ReFine is a free enhancer and exciter VST, VST3, Audio Unit plugin developed by lkjb. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

ReFine is a plugin that allows to add a final polishing to your tracks, busses and masters. It extracts psycho-acoustic parameters from the source and thus allows to add warmth, space and punch to your mixes. This is done level dependent and rather subtle; you probably won’t be able to create heavy distortion effects with this plugin.

Version 1.1.0 won’t be compatible with earlier versions but 1.1.0 can be installed alongside previous versions if one of the plugin is renamed. Since the amount of controls isn’t too high migrating shouldn’t be a problem.

The plugin is now open source.

The manual is available here.

Changelog:

1.2.0: JUCE update.

1.1.0: moved plugin to JUCE, added AU format, added x2 toggle.

1.0.6: fixed crash in mono instances.

1.0.5: fixed CPU issue in Cubase during silence.

1.0.3: added support for older VST hosts on Windows, OS X 10.6 support.

1.0.2: fixed denormalisation bug.

1.0.1: fixed high CPU bug (appeared when silence was put in after a signal).

HUE-X

HUE-X is a free eq and exciter and enhancer VST plugin developed by Mildon. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

HUE-X 2 is an EQ that lets you colorize your sound instantly and easily. It gives you 10 easy faders for controlling different sound characteristics such as Depth, Boom, Fullness, Warmth, Body, Clarity, Sheen, Brightness, Sparkle, and the newest addition: Punch, which makes use of subtle dynamics. It also has a waveform display to help you visualize how each fader affects your sound. Can be used on Mono and Stereo tracks.

HUE-X introduces a new creative way of EQ’ing, perfect for those who trust their ears or just love to experiment with sound. It is designed to let you bring out what you want in the sound instantly and with much ease. Now you can control different characteristics of the sound without having to deal with the obscurity of traditional EQ’s.

HUE-X breaks it down to ten faders: Boom, Depth, Fullness, Body, Warmth, Clarity, Sheen, Brightness, Sparkle, Punch. These faders are divided into two groups: Warm Tones (red strip) and Cool Tones (blue strip). The “Punch” fader now behaves just like an Enhancer DSP effect, letting you boost the sound while leaving some harsh signals behind.
