A free plugin developer that hardly anyone talks about is Yuri Semyonov (Юрий Семёнов on youtube), which is a real shame because his plugins are fantastic.
Fun fact chow tape actually physically models the electromagnetic effects of the tape. The developer has even published some research papers on the topic
Great list. I've been a bit obsessed with Analog Obsession as I feel my mixes simply got a bit better since I started using them, despite having a bunch of paid plugins I could be using instead. I think it's the simplicity of the hardware-emulated plugins, and possibly the built-in upsampling, though I can't really prove the latter. Thanks!
Dude I'm on the same boat as you, once I really dug into analog obsession, my mixing got so much better. Helps that it really made me go down a rabbit hole of learning about the different hardware units and their different uses. Analog obsession are the main plugins I use for mixing, they sound so good and have incredibly efficient cpu usage.
For MAutoPitch, the Detector-Settings are not to auto-detect the key you are in... It's what the Plugin uses to DETECT the note you are singing to alter it using the other settings.
I always use t-deesser for electric guitar, cymbals, and vocals but didnt know they had a transient shaper. Good to know. Wouldve been nice to know before i bought another transient designer 🤡
Thank you for everything you do for us guys! i recently bacame a member and i'm excited for what the future brings :) i'm just a bit worried that you'll rush through the free Masters a bit too fast, if everyone can get SO many of them 😅 hmmm but i'm sure they will sound great anyways, i have faith in you guys! wish you the best
Your videos are great, there's no need to give them clickbait titles! I love your channel, please don't understand me wrong, its just that many of these plugins have already been heavily prased in big channels (including yours, if I can recall) here on RU-vid.
One free plugin that’s amazing and probably some of the best synth plugins I’ve come by is The Juno LX V2 demo plugin. It’s everything you need from a synth with an arp and everything and you can even load and save presets. And the sound of the synth just never lets me down for what I need. 11/10 would recommend.
Jut FYI, Isol8 is not transparent when engaged, even with the filters bypassed. It has a tiny amount of top end distortion/saturation... something that my artist heard on her vocal in the mix print. I was tearing my hair out claiming that nothing had changed from a previous version when I rolled back the latest changes to the previous version settings, and we went back and forth for 2 days. She could hear it only on her iPhone and, when she played it for me on her phone in person I could clearly hear the difference, as well. Come to discover the only difference between the two prints in the end was Isol8 being engaged at the plug-in level on one of them, even though filters were "bypassed." It was audibly different, and I had to acknowledge that she was right. When I removed it, the "zing" went away. It's a great tool; but it's not 100% transparent.
This comment made me stop dead in my tracks and reconsider my life. But then, I finally installed the PluginDoctor demo and loaded ISOL8 into it. Fully transparent. Keep in mind that this is my first time using PluginDoctor, but I'm very sure I'm reading the HarmonicAnalysis page correctly. Especially after bumping up 20 dbs and sweeping through frequencies. Then, I rendered out some tests, with and without ISOL8. They nulled every time. Even in a 32 bit test that clipped hard. My conclusion? At least for me, ISOL8 is fully transparent. Not to call you a liar or anything! Maybe you have an older version or there's something else going on but for me, on Windows 10, in FL Studio 21, with version 2.7.4, VST3 64 bit, 48kHz, ISOL8 is perfectly fine to leave turned on in a render.
@@KyleTheLandonI’m on a Mac and that was in Logic. I’ve yet to test it in Pro Tools. I also noticed that my output would clip the tiniest bit when engaged if I set a limiter output to 0dB as a test. Check that your output exactly matches your input (with accurate metering). For me, I’ve implemented other solutions to achieve the same functionality that I was getting with Isol8. If things slow down work-wise, I may go back and do a null test in my system, as well. I’d like to get an accurate measurement of the differences we were hearing.
