Free Plugins, Yo?

OK, it’s no secret that you can download thousands of plugins. Not to most people anyway, although I like to think that some people might read this blog who are pretty new to recording.

So the good news is - you can download free plugins. Pretty much every single type you’ve ever heard of, and then some. Stop there. Even the most seasoned professional sometimes has to curb him or herself with these things. It’s very easy to over do it.

On other occasions though, you just need the right one, and no other will do.

The best way is just to do a google search on “Free plugin reverb” unless you want a compressor, in which case you’re an idiot, but you’ll still find one anyway. Eventually. You will, for example end up clicking onto a page like this.

And there you will find one of my personal favourites - the Terry West Vocal EQ Pro. It’s so simple, but effective, and that’s almost always exactly what you will be looking for. Play with all the buttons, and all the combinations, and lose yourself in the fact that you just made something sound good, even if it is cheating a bit; because at the end of the day, if you end up settling for a bad sound out of that particular plugin…

You Sir… are a moron.
