Analogue Drums 2 for 1 deal!

Starts November 27 ends December 2

 

This is been another great discovery, amazing drums sound at a great price. With a great variety of Styles and drums sets. There many options of Drums Sound library, but what I have experience is that often is hard to find  good soft drums with “Jazzy” sound, and for the price probably this is something to consider.

“Analogue Drums kits are distinctive sounding drum libraries that are regarded as some of the most natural, organic, toneful and ‘real’ sampled drums available. We seek out great sounding kits, track them in a variety of cool acoustic spaces through fine mics and selected analogue gear to produce characterful drum sounds.”*

*Requieres Kontakt Full Version

Make sure you read the description of the Products and that you have the full version of Kontakt, not the “player” version.

TDR VOS SlickEQ Free Plugin

TDR VOS SlickEQ Free Plugin  win/mac

Tokyo Dawn Records has just release a new free EQ plugin that just looks awesome! not just for the posibilities of use or quality but also for the great looking interface. Among all the free plugins available on the internet Tokyo Dawn offers probably if not the best some of the best available free plugins available today.

About TDR VOS SlickEQ

TDR VOS SlickEQ is a mixing/mastering equalizer designed for ease of use, musical flexibility and impeccable sound.

Three (and a half) filter-bands arranged in a classic Low/Mid/High semi-parametric layout offer fast and intuitive access to four distinct EQ modes, each representing a set of distinct EQ curves and behaviors. An elaborate auto gain option automatically compensates for changes of perceived loudness during EQ operation. Optionally, SlickEQ allows to exclusively process either the stereo sum or stereo difference (i.e. “stereo width”) without additional sum/difference encoding.

In order to warm up the material with additional harmonic content, SlickEQ offers a switchable EQ non-linearity and an output stage with 3 different saturation models. These options are meant to offer subtle and interesting textures, rather than obvious distortion. The effect is made to add the typical “mojo” often associated with classy audio gear.

An advanced 64bit multirate processing structure practically eliminates typical problems of digital EQ implementations such as frequency warping, quantization distortion and aliasing.

Beside the primary controls, the plug-in comes with an array of additional helpers: Advanced preset management, undo/redo, quick A/B comparison, copy & paste, an online help, editable labels, mouse-wheel support and much more.

Another great free vst plugins download, Nebula 3

Nebula 3, free vst plugins download

Nebula3 Free is a fully functional, feature-limited version of Nebula3 Pro.

Nebula emulates the character and personality of analog hardware with exacting accuracy. Whether it is high end outboard equalizers, classic compressors, the latest reverbs, or vintage time-variant effects like phasers and flangers, Nebula has them all. With a large library of free included presets, you’ll be adding the warmth of analog to your digital mixes in no time at all.

Nebula is a VST multieffect plug-in that is able to emulate and replicate several types of expensive audio equipment, eliminating the need for costly and bulky hardware. Nebula uses libraries which are created using a sophisticated “sampling approach” making it possible to “record” aspects of the sound of audio devices and play them back. Our sampling process results in highly realistic, complex emulations of many types of audio processing devices that can then be used to process any audio signal digitally, all within a VST plug-in that is compatible with all major DAWs and editing software.

“Molot”: the compressor with character

NOTE#1. Looking for transparent compressor? This not your choice. This compressor adds a lot of coloring to sound.
NOTE#2. Too complex? This compressor is not for beginners. It’s pretty hard to tune it up but if you’re able, you’ll get THE SOUND!
NOTE#3. Scared with GUI?  GUI language can be switched. Also there’s GUI-less version included.
NOTE#4. Too much CPU? Turn off oversampling.
NOTE#5. Too much distortion? First, match your levels to 0 dbVU = -18 dBFS. Next, saturation can be switched off. See the manual for details.
NOTE#6. Too noisy? Turn off the dithering. See the manual for details.
NOTE#7. Do you still want to use it? Proceed to downloads page, please.

About Vladishlav Goncharov:
“I work with a sound only as a hobby. I record and mix garage bands from time to time and I can’t say I’m doing it like professional. Also I have very few digital signal processing (DSP) knowledge. But on the other hand I have professional programming skills and I can distinguish good or bad sounding either of plugins or hi-fi gear. The mixture of that all leads to very interesting things.

There’re a lot of cool plugins (and gear). I don’t think I should mimic them all just because they are already exist and they are already cool. The idea is to make something else”.
