SnareBuzz

SnareBuzz free software-synthesizer by Wavesfactory

SnareBuzz is a free software synthesizer developed by Wavesfactory. Available format(s): VST, VST3, Audio Unit, AAX for Windows 64b, macOS.

SnareBuzz is an audio effect plugin that emulates the wires of a snare buzzing when there’s another instrument playing near.

Why do you want to emulate this effect if every engineer in the world has tried to get rid of it? Short: because it’s cool! Long: because it doesn’t exist in the DAW environment, it’s something that we are all familiar with, and if you’re really used to play live with a band it’s weird not hearing it when recording instruments separately.

Do you imagine a Led Zeppelin recording with Bonzo’s snare not buzzing?
“Music is people playing live in the same room with eye contact and feeling each other”.

Attack and release controls that set how the snare reacts to the incoming signal, HP and LP filters to shape the sound of it, room ambience for a more natural feel, overall gain, panning of just the effect and dry/wet controls.

Insert it on the bass track, adjust the mix knob just a tiny bit and hear how these little wires bring life to your mix. You’ll miss it when it’s bypassed.

Slam

Slam free drum-machine | rompler by Extent of the Jam

Slam is a free drum machine and rompler VST, Audio Unit plugin developed by Extent of the Jam. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

Extent of the Jam: Slam is an original algorithmic drum machine design inspired by analog drum machines of days gone by. It’s made to allow users to create hard-hitting snares, beefy bassdrums, and all kinds of other sounds– with ease.

Each sound was meticulously tweaked to give you deep organic sounds with a wide range of options and settings. Close your eyes and you won’t even think it’s digital.

But Extent of the Jam: Slam isn’t content to just emulate old drum machines. While most old drum machines only had two levels of velocity (accented and non-accented), Slam gives you 127 levels of velocity for each drum. And it’s not just different volume levels: the velocity alters how the drums react. It also features drums not commonly found on analog drum machines such as finger-snap and tambourine. It’ll even produce gnarly synth bass tones that you can play on a chromatic scale.

Slam is 100% native C++ code.
