DaHornet VST Plugin

DaHornet VST Plugin
Classic VST from Steinberg from back in the days, now free! 128 presets packed with retro-modern sounds mostly ideal for house music production, but you can probably find quite a few basslines suited for d&b and dubstep as well!

Fishing for Free VST effects

Blockfish - Free VST Compressor
The BLOCKFISH compressor is a dynamics compressor capable of a compact and dense sound (hence the name). But unlike a lot of digital compressors, it does not 'squash' your signal that much.
The focus was to keep your music alive and let it breathe. It comes with a typical 'vca' circuit providing modern compression - best for drums and guitars - and a classical 'opto' unit that recreates the sound of old photo-electrical gain devices and has been optimised for vocal tracks. The basic parameters are easily set up but you have access to futher adjustments that can turn BLOCKFISH into a real 'killer' device.




Floorfish - Free VST Expander / noise gate
FLOORFISH is a classical gate/expander unit that was originally designed to make acoustic drum recording much cleaner. Especially seperately miked snares and toms often unveil a large amount of 'bleeding noise' if you compress them. The FLOORFISH can help to lower this noise floor. Unlike a typical 'noise gate', the signal is not cut off completely if you do not want it to.




Spitfish - Free VST De-esser.
SPITFISH serves as an easy-to-use de-esser. If you ever had problems with loud sibilants and s-like vocals, this device can help to make those nasty sounds much smoother. You can also apply it to other signals that might need some evening out within the upper frequency range, e.g. cymbals and crashes.
The whole character has been tuned to 'nice' and 'gentle'. It should be almost impossible to make your recordings sound unnatural within the normal operational range.

Free ePiano VST Plugin

I’ve used LoungeLizard for some time now and it’s great, but it’s not a free plugin that I can offer my visitors.
The only free VST plugin that comes close to LL is this one, I did not expect much at all because lets face it, it looks über-cheap.. Boy was I wrong! (as always it seems)

It sounds really good and professional.
All you FL music makers will enjoy this one a lot since it sounds so much better than FL Keys, has more features and presets to tweak around with.

Vinyl scratch VST plugin

Turntablist PRO VST
This VST Plugin is probably not the best out there when it comes to making fake scratch effects.
I truly hope it's not the best, But it's free atleast. (we like it like that)
Don't get me wrong here, you can create some nice slide effects and pitch tweaks with it but that's about it though.
