…again.

Oops.

And as much as you might feel like buying that new Waves plugin…

(You’ve had your eye on it for months, right?)

It’s probably not a good idea.

But if you’re still looking to expand your plugin library, don’t worry.

Sometimes, the best things in life are free…

Here are 7 of my favorite free plugins. Each of them offers something new and unique (no boring EQs or compressors). Download them all to extend your sonic palette and ultimately, craft better-sounding tracks.

And if you’re looking to dive deeper, I also put together a list of five plugins I use on every mix. If you’re wondering which plugins I recommend, download the list below to make sure you’ve got my top tools for the job.

1. iZotope Neutrino

Neutrino is the baby brother of Neutron—iZotope’s newest channel-strip plugin. While Neutron has a number of innovative features, Neutrino spins off the best of them.

Neutrino tames undesirable resonances caused by poor room acoustics, cheap gear, and heavy-handed processing. iZotope calls the effect “spectral shaping,” and it can sound similar to gentle, low-ratio multiband compression. This can make tracks sound smoother and more polished—like sanding the rough edges off a freshly cut piece of wood. I find Neutrino particularly useful on electric guitar tracks, which often have lots of harsh resonances.

There's a risk with LS that you couldshoot your own session (and script) if taking out the LS processesglitches the network. Overkill: if you're going to remove the software and reboot, there'sno need to whack processes. How to remove a splinter with vinegar. Underkill: if you're committed to killing the active components ofLS before reboot to be sure (i.e. Bare string variables with embedded whitespace: put ' aroundthe killall arguments. If you believe you need to kill processes thatact as gatekeepers for network traffic, you should make sure yourscript is not subject to normal hangup handling (see the man pagesfor nohup and batch for ways to do that).

2. Voxengo SPAN

People say “don’t mix with your eyes.”

Meh.

2.2. 32-bit and 64-bit. Nexus 2. Nexus . reFX.

The truth?

Tools that provide visual feedback, when used properly, can help you make better mixing decisions.

A spectrum analyzer is one of these tools. It plots the frequencies of sounds out on a graph, which allows you to “see” what tracks are comprised of.

SPAN is my favorite spectrum analyzer. You can control the ballistics and response of its graph, which makes it flexible enough for a wide variety of tasks. You can even route multiple tracks into SPAN and compare their frequency content.

(P.S. Voxengo has a few other free VST plugins. They’re worth checking out too, but SPAN is my favorite.)

3. Brainworx bx_solo

Bx_solo is a no-frills, stereo-imaging plugin. While it’s the least sexy of this bunch, it can still be pretty useful.

I like to add bx_solo to my mix bus. While I rarely push the stereo width past 100%, collapsing it to zero is an easy way to check for mono compatibility. The mid and side solo buttons are also useful. It’s great to have this one around—you never know when you might need it!

4. HOFA 4U Project Time

Mixing is a race against time.

The more time you spend on a mix, the more attached you become to what it sounds like. This makes it progressively harder to make good mixing decisions. Given enough time, even the worst mix will start to sound decent.

This is one reason I recommend mixing quickly and impulsively. You’ll get to the finish line faster, retain more objectivity, and ultimately, craft better mixes.

The first step towards more efficient mixing is to track how much time you spend doing it. Without this information, it’s easy to get lost in a black hole of endless tweaking.

Project Time makes this easy. Add it to a track, and it will start counting. The timer automatically stops when you close the session, and starts when you open it up again.

Keep an eye on Project Time, and you’ll train yourself to mix faster and more efficiently. It’s also an invaluable tool if you bill by the hour!

5. MeldaProduction MFreeFXBundle

MeldaProduction makes some great plugins. They’ve earned the praise of many notable engineers, including mastering guru Ian Shepard.

The MFreeFXBundle contains 30 free VST plugins. They range from workhorse tools like a compressor and EQ, to less common effects like a ring modulator, flanger, and oscilloscope.

If you’re looking to fill some holes in your plugin library, this is a great place to start.

6. Flux BitterSweet

BitterSweet is among the best transient shapers out there. It can produce results on par with studio mainstays like SPL’s Transient Designer and Waves’ Trans-X.

This simple plugin can achieve a wide variety of effects. Turn the knob to the right to add punch to drums, enhance the pluck of an acoustic guitar, or boost the consonants in a vocal performance. Turn the knob to the left to soften tracks and push them back in the soundstage.

7. iZotope Vinyl

Sometimes a little crackle is a good thing.

Vinyl will make tracks sound like they’re being played on a turntable. You can vary the intensity of the effect by controlling the volume of different types of noise, the degree of wear and tear, and the decade your sound is from. The results range from subtle filtering to Edison phonograph.

This plugin is great for special effects, like filtering down a vocal or making an intro sound tiny.

There seems to be an unhealthy cynicism that pervades some parts of our industry (not to be confused with a healthy skepticism) in anything that seems too simple to be of use. One can only assume that the cynics are yet to use a dbx overeasy compressor or iZotope RX dialogue denoiser, to name two audio gems that are so simple a chimp could use them but that deliver excellent results.

Cynic or skeptic? The cynic writes things off, normally because of ill-informed prejudice, living a life of self fulfilled prophecies and poorer for it. The skeptic on the other hand investigates to test claims, some claims fail to live up to the promise whilst others surprise.. if you live in the second camp then I urge you to test the claims that the Waves Greg Wells MixCentric can improve mixes. If you live in the first then nothing I or anyone else writes is likely to change your mind and I'd recommend you stop reading now.

So now I've got that off my chest on with the review.

Greg Wells MixCentric Review

The Waves Greg Wells MixCentric is the third in a recently announced collection of simple but effective plugins designed in collaboration with producer, mixer, engineer Greg Wells, they are the Greg Wells VoiceCentric and Greg Wells PianoCentric and now the Greg Wells MixCentric.

The MixCentric is a bit like an audio version of Coca Cola or KFC seasoning, in the fact that we might know the basics of how this thing is put together but the exact mix of those ingredients is a mystery. The MixCentric uses EQ, compression and harmonic distortion and these are then applied to the source material using the intensity control. You also have a Input and Output control which at first glance are there to help balance the volume between the original and effected signal.

Vst Wikipedia

The unit has no limiter included so Waves suggest you place your favourite limited after the MixCentric plugin to limit the final effect. I put a Waves L1 after it and set it to prevent any clipping by adjusting the ceiling.

What became apparent after I spent over an hour with it was that the input control can make a huge difference to the results achieved - even on the same material. This should come as no surprise as both compression and harmonic distortion are affected by gain. A LED is included to help you set the optimum gain and whilst it is a good idea to follow the guidance around how this is set I found breaking the rules gave me some very cool results, in fact the differences were quite noticeable.

So what should one expect from the Waves MixCentric? Well I wouldn't expect it to replace a mastering engineer so if you have the money to use one then I'd take that route. However some of us do not have the money to use a mastering engineer but would still like to give our mixes a final bit of sparkle and energy.. if that's you then you should check out this plugin.

That said, even if you do have the budget for professional mastering I still think the Waves Greg Wells MixCentric offers you something to spice up either the whole mix or on submixes.

Conclusion

What I found as I spent more time with the MixCentric was that its simplicity belies its power to deliver some excellent results. Could you get the same results with a plugin chain of your favourite plugins? If you had the skill and time to set them up right then probably yes - but this plugin is aimed at those people who want or need a helping hand, dismissing it for its apparent simplicity would be a mistake.

As I've already said no one is entirely sure what's going on inside the MixCentric plugin, yes we know it's using EQ, compression and harmonic distortion, but how that special sauce is being combined and adjusted is a secret that I'm guessing will stay in the head of Greg Wells and the Waves gurus.

In conclusion the Waves Greg Wells MixCentric plugin is a very nice plugin. I'll repeat what I told my friends on Facebook at 1am this morning; If you think this is some kind of one-knob smoke and mirrors auto-mastering bullshit then spend some time playing with the 3 controls to find the sweet spots and hear how many differences you can make with one knob on a plug-in. It's a little bit of audio voodoo.

Believers buy it, skeptics try it. I'm a believer in both the man and the plugin.. so its a thumbs up from me!
