Free VST Plugins & Softwares

7Q

7Q is a free equalizer VST, Audio Unit, AAX plugin developed by Manda Audio. Compatible OS(s): Windows, macOS.

7Q was designed as a simple, but effective 64-bit alternative to the graphical Classic EQ with musically predefined bands and Q values. With the integrated high pass and low pass filters, you can tidy up your mix and make it more transparent. Use it either as your main EQ for an instrument or vocal track, or simply for a rough clean up before sending your signal into a compressor or adding other effects.

5ORCERY

5ORCERY is a free compressor VST plugin developed by platinumears. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

5ORCERY is a “meta-multi-band” compressor using dynamic EQ.

5ORCERY takes a different approach to multi-band compression: the signal is still split into separate bands using cross-over filters, and these still feed the side-chains of separate compressors, but the filtered signals are not mixed back together again. Instead the gain modulation signals from all five compressors are matrixed into modulation signals for 4 dynamic shelving filters plus a gain stage.

To put it another way: while this plug-in behaves like a multi-band compressor, and allows you to solve many of the same problems, it is in actual fact a constantly changing 4-band equaliser, and when it isn’t doing anything, it really isn’t doing anything.

platinumears has dubbed this approach “meta-multiband compression”: all the benefits of a multi-band with none of the usual side effects. Use it wherever you like, on channels, sub-groups or mixes.

Features:

Transparent and easy to use multi-band compression.

Dynamic EQ topology to reduce phase artifacts.

Five FL4TT3RY 2 compressors, with band-limited side-chains.

External side-chain inputs (switchable per band).

Intuitive “solo in place” function for each band.

Optional soft clipping keeps your peaks below 0dBFS.

Flexible Gain / Gain Reduction meters with switchable range.

Zero latency.

4U+ DynamicTiltEQ

4U+ DynamicTiltEQ is a free equalizer VST, VST3, Audio Unit, RTAS, AAX plugin developed by HOFA-Plugins. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

HOFA 4U+ DynamicTiltEQ is the only available freeware Tilt EQ. It can do everything the legendary analogue models could:
Use just one knob for the perfect balancing of low and high frequencies on the highest audio level.

This alone is a fantastic feature, but (of course) was not enough to suit our idea. We brainstormed about the setup of the best Tilt EQ of all times and came up with a list that leaves no wish unfulfilled. The freeware includes:

gain/cut up to 24 dB.

variable tilt width for transparent adjustments as well as musical sound shaping.

splittable bass and treble tilt.

low and highcut filter (6 & 12 dB/octave).

individual routing for stereo, mid, side left and right processing.

up to 32x oversampling.

support for Mac and PC, 32- and 64-bit DAWs.

It’s extremely rewarding to activate the dynamics for the low and high range and the integrated analyzer for very little money. In combination with parallel processing and a dry/wet control this makes for fascinating creative possibilities.

Despite all these extras, 4U+ DynamicTiltEQ is a simple, self-explaining sound shaper – so just install it, start to work and enjoy the good sound.

HOFA 4U+ DynamicTiltEQ – The worldwide first dynamic Tilt EQ.

HOFA 4U+ DynamicTiltEQ provides for:

sound shaping on the highest level.

balanced sounds.

less waste of time by its intuitive workflow.

analogue feel of handling and sound.

new creative means of expression.

4L2

4L2 is a free limiter and dither VST plugin developed by Signaldust. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

This limiter is not necessarily transparent, but it’s relatively clean anyway. It might not be the ideal master limiter, but the short look-ahead makes it usable for live situations. It comes with dual metering (peak and RMS) and integrated dither.
