Free Audio Plugins & Softwares for macOS

tubePlug

tubePlug is a free routing VST, Audio Unit plugin developed by t-u-b-e. Compatible OS(s): Windows, macOS.

tubePlug is a network audio plug-in that can connect multiple tubePlug users via the Internet and allows high quality multi-channel audio exchange between them.

It has three faces: it can be a receiver, sender or server. To start a music network session one server should be provided by one member of the session. In t-u-b-e hosted “real” performances the server is provided by the venue.

After the server is running, senders and receivers can log in to the server. Senders can send stereo high quality audio streams and receivers can choose between the provided streams and receive them. Additionally the server provides an audio sum that can be chosen by the receiver too. This sum is the audio mix (pure same level addition) of all senders.

tubePlug runs as a VST / Audio Unit plug-in on Mac OS X 10.3.9 or higher (Universal Binary) and as a VST plug-in on Windows 9x / ME / XP.

tubePlug is a project of the t-u-b-e gallery for radiophonic art installations and audio performances City of Munich – Cultural Office in collaboration with büro Munich.

NOTE: tubePlug is freeware only for non commercial projects.

Tube Saturator Vintage

Tube Saturator Vintage is a free overdrive and saturation VST, VST3, Audio Unit, AAX plugin developed by Wave Arts. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

Tube Saturator Vintage is a free reissue of the original Tube Saturator.

Tube Saturator Vintage uses circuit simulation technology to faithfully reproduce the sound of a dual triode preamp. While it sounds great, the circuit simulation technology is very CPU intensive, that’s why Wave Arts developed its successor, Tube Saturator 2, vastly more efficient, nearly identical in simulation accuracy, and with added features. However, some users prefer the sound of the original and requested it, so they’ve re-released it as a free plug.

Tube Amp

Tube Amp is a free overdrive and saturation VST, VST3, Audio Unit, AAX plugin developed by Voxengo. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

Tube Amp is an audio effect plug-in that applies asymmetric tube triode overdrive usually found in single-tube microphone pre-amp boxes. The sound this plug-in produces varies from a mild “warm” overdrive to a fuzzy distortion. Beside that, Tube Amp includes a -6 dB/oct low-pass filter that is built-in into plug-in’s valve modeling equation, and can be used to imitate a lower-quality tube triode.

Tube Amp also features all standard advanced Voxengo plug-in features like full multi-channel operation and built-in oversampling.

Features:

Asymmetric tube triode overdrive.

Multi-channel processing.

Internal channel routing.

Channel grouping.

Mid/side processing.

Up to 8x oversampling.

64-bit floating point processing.

Preset manager.

Undo/redo history.

A/B comparisons.

Contextual hint messages.

TS-999

TS-999 is a free overdrive and saturation VST, Audio Unit plugin developed by Ignite Amps. Compatible OS(s): Windows, macOS.

TS-999 “SubScreamer” is a digital emulation of an overdrive pedal for guitar. It has been developed to accurately model its real hardware counterpart, built for Subhuman guitarists Matteo Buti and Elia Murgia by Ignite Amps in 2010.

The TS-999 core circuit is inspired by the most famous green “808” overdrive pedal, with additional features to increase its versatility. It can easily add dirt and bite to clean guitar tones, as well as make the amplifier distortion sound tighter, more focused and more responsive to picking, avoiding low-end muddiness and high-end fizz.

Every single component on the signal path of the real analog circuit has been taken into account and modeled in the best possible way to match the original sound, keeping an eye to CPU performances and real-time playability at the same time.

TS-999 is meant to be used as an overdrive pedal for live playing, tracking or mixing inside hosts capable of VST or AU Plug-Ins support.

Main Features:

Dynamic 2N3904 BJT input and output buffers analog modeling.

Dynamic 1N4148 diode clipping circuit analog modeling.

Op-amp saturation analog modeling.

Symmetric / Asymmetric clipping mode.

Normal / Fat bass response mode.

Mono / Stereo processing support.

Switchable Input and Output Buffer modeling to decrease CPU usage.

Selectable oversampling rate (up to 8x).

Variable Input Level control for better response to different pickups.

Double precision (64-bit) floating point mathematical model.

Fully automatable controls.

Zero latency.

Triple EQ

Triple EQ is a free equalizer VST, VST3, Audio Unit, RTAS, AAX, DirectX plugin developed by Blue Cat Audio. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

Blue Cat’s Triple EQ is an easy-to-use 3-band semi-parametric equalizer. It includes a low shelf filter, a high shelf filter and a boost/cut peak filter. Its wide range of gain (+/-40 dB per band) and bandwidth (.01 to 5 Octave) makes it very versatile. The three filters are linked together so that when you change the center frequency or the bandwidth, the three filter parameters are changed accordingly: you can change the entire equalizer characteristics with one single mouse click making any equalization task very easy and intuitive.

The graph shows the computed frequency response of the plug-in, so that you can exactly know how your signal is processed. This is not an approximated or “ideal” response curve based on the controls of the user interface, but the exact computed frequency response of the filter, which makes this plug-in a true WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) equalizer.

Main Features:

WYSIWYG 3-band semi-parametric equalizer.

Filters designed after analog circuits.

+-40 dB range on each band.

Automatic gain compensation.

No latency.

Real time display of the frequency response.

Native DSP code for optimal performance.

Random preset generation: auto generate custom presets with one single click.

‘Smooth Update Mechanism’: real-time parameter modification with zipper-free parameter updates. Hear absolutely no ‘click’ when playing with parameters.

Full automation support (all parameters can be automated, with smooth and continuous update).

Any sample rate supported.

DirectX version: supports 32-bits floating point as well as 16 / 8 bits PCM audio streams.

Triple EQ supports “Blue Cat’s Skinning language”, allowing you to customize the plug-in to your own needs.
