Free Audio Plugins & Softwares for macOS

Delay Bundle

Delay Bundle is a free delay and echo VST, VST3, Audio Unit, AAX plugin developed by Soundhack. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

The Delay Bundle / Delay Kit is a collection of plugins that Tom Erbe (SoundHack) developed as class demonstrations while teaching computer music and studio technique at UC San Diego. All of these are derived from the same basic delay algorithm: a hermite interpolated delay line with variable modulation, and a feedback loop with dc blocking and saturation. Pitch shifting is achieved with a dual head crossfading delay (ala Eltro Tempophon/Dennis Gabor/Pierre Schaeffer phonogene) and is decidedly low-? The saturating feedback also allows them to be great drone and noise generators.

The plugins are:

++flipper – synchronized reverse delay.

++bubbler – a flexible and MIDI playable granular delay.

++pitchdelay – old school multitap delay-based pitch-shifting.

++delay – a fully featured 10 second delay, with extensive modulation and feedback filtering.

DC1A

DC1A is a free compressor VST, VST3, Audio Unit, AAX plugin developed by Klanghelm. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

DC1A is the little brother of Klanghelm’s upcoming compression monster DC8C. I’ve taken one of my favorite settings from DC8C and tried to make it work in a two control context. Soundwise it’s comparable to the PUNCH mode in DC8C.

I’ve always wanted to do a compressor with just an input and output knob, a compressor that just works: gentle, grateful, from almost invisible, smooth leveling to heavy pumping with a nice crunchy saturation and punchy enough to treat drums with.

DC1A looks like a one trick pony. But don’t get fooled by lack of further controls. You may be surprised, on how many different material this little thing works. DC1A is heavily program dependent.
