  • 194db Audio Releases VoxRelief Lite Free Vocal Processing Plugin

    194db Audio Releases VoxRelief Lite Free Vocal Processing Plugin

    194db Audio has released VoxRelief Lite, a free vocal-fixing & processing plugin designed to make vocals sit in the mix faster. Instead of building long EQ and multiband chains, you get a couple of focused controls that clear mud and smooth harshness while keeping the performance intact.

    Clearer Vocals, Fewer Plugins

    The idea is simple: reduce low‑mid boxiness and tame sharp highs without flattening dynamics or dulling tone. In practice, it feels a bit like moving the mic to a better spot, less corrective surgery, more subtle reshaping, so the vocal lands naturally in the track.

    Features

    • DE‑BOXY: Reduces low‑mid buildup from proximity effect/room coloration without the carved‑out EQ sound
    • DE‑HARSHER: Smooths piercing top end while preserving brightness and detail
    • Fast results with minimal controls; keeps nuance and dynamics intact
    • Formats: VST3, AU, and AAX for Windows & macOS

    Free Download

    VoxRelief Lite vocal processing plugin is available as a free download for Windows and macOS (VST3/AU/AAX). More information on the 194db Audio website.

  • PSP Audioware Releases PSP stereoAnalyser2 Free Metering Plugin

    PSP Audioware Releases PSP stereoAnalyser2 Free Metering Plugin

    PSP Audioware has released PSP stereoAnalyser2, a free metering plugin that provides a clear picture of your stereo image and level structure. Whether you’re tracking, mixing, or putting the final touches on a master, it gives fast, reliable feedback so you can make confident decisions without the second‑guessing phase, width, or balance.

    Stereo Insight, At A Glance

    At the core is a responsive goniometer (X‑Y scope) for visualizing stereo width, phase, and polarity in real time. Peak and RMS meters keep overall loudness in check, while a correlation meter helps you assess mono compatibility at a glance. There’s also a balance meter to show left/right energy distribution, plus frequency‑limited monitoring so you can focus on just the lows or highs when you need to troubleshoot. Zoomable scopes and nonlinear display shaping make it easy to read the data quickly.

    If you’re tightening low‑end, checking for phasey wide pads, or making sure a vocal sits center, stereoAnalyser2 is a practical tool to keep on the master bus, or on problem tracks, throughout the session.

    Features

    • Goniometer (X‑Y scope) for stereo width, phase, and polarity
    • Digital Peak and RMS meters for precise level monitoring
    • Correlation meter for mono compatibility checks
    • Balance meter for left/right distribution
    • Frequency‑limited monitoring with adjustable HP/LP filters
    • Adjustable scope zoom and nonlinear display shaping
    • Monitoring mode for auditioning the filtered band
    • Resizable GUI, preset browser, A/B, and undo/redo
    • 64‑bit internal processing; sample rates up to 384 kHz
    • Formats: VST2, VST3, AU, AAX on Windows & macOS

    Free Download

    PSP stereoAnalyser2 metering plugin is available as a free download from the PSP Audioware website for Windows and macOS.

  • Angelic Vibes Releases Heartbreaker Free Emotional Synth Plugin

    Angelic Vibes Releases Heartbreaker Free Emotional Synth Plugin

    Angelic Vibes has released Heartbreaker, a free VST synth plugin aimed at modern, emotional sound design. It comes with 128 factory presets out of the box, including trap leads, dreamy keys, ambient pads, atmospheric textures, and a straightforward interface that keeps you in the creative flow.

    Modern, Emotional Synth Plugin for Free

    Heartbreaker isn’t trying to be a deep modular playground. It’s a quick and playable instrument with a clear tone and enough flexibility to sketch ideas quickly. The presets lean toward dark pop, RnB, and electronic styles, and the built‑in effects are already wired for useful results, so you can load a patch, tweak a couple of controls, and move on with your track.

    Creative Ways To Use Heartbreaker

    Heartbreaker works best when you need quick, modern tones without getting lost in menus. Layer its dreamy keys under vocals for space, stack the airy pads with guitars for width, or grab a preset lead for instant trap/RnB hooks.

    The built-in FX make it easy to print vibe fast; add a touch of saturation for presence, a little delay/reverb for depth, and you’ve got a mix-ready part. It’s a solid sketching tool for beatmaking sessions, a reliable pad/texture source for ambient cues, and a handy “second layer” synth to thicken choruses without fighting the mix.

    Features

    • 128 factory presets: basses, bells, pads, leads, keys, textures
    • Built-in FX: distortion/saturation, compression, filters, LFOs, delay, reverb, and more
    • Streamlined interface for quick results
    • Geared toward dark pop, RnB, and electronic styles
    • Formats: VST3 & AU for DAWs and other plugin hosts runing on Windows and macOS

  • Venus Theory Releases Auras:Lichen Free Decent Sampler Library

    Venus Theory Releases Auras:Lichen Free Decent Sampler Library

    Venus Theory has released Auras:Lichen, a new free Decent Sampler library. This instrument was built from the Soma Terra, an esoteric wooden synthesizer with touch‑sensitive pads known for organic, evolving textures.

    Auras:Lichen focuses on dual‑layer, user‑selectable sources, captured as individual performances. Instead of traditional multisampling, every note was sampled one by one to preserve pitch drift and timbral nuance from the Terra’s unpredictable core.

    Terra To Textures

    The core workflow lets you blend any two sources to sculpt moving pads and atmospheres. Because the Terra doesn’t repeat the same way twice, the captures deliver subtle motion even at static settings, useful for ambient beds, scoring cues, and textural pop layers.

    Engine & Controls

    Inside Decent Sampler, Lichen uses the “auras” engine with controls for Expression, Dynamics, Filtering, and built‑in Effects. The latest Decent Sampler adds Source Select knobs so you can choose and combine layers on the fly. A custom set of experimental Impulse Responses (IRs) is included for transformative spaces and tonal shaping.

    The library ships with 20 handmade presets plus an Init preset. Beware: some combinations can push into feedback‑like, saturated swells – very musical, but intentionally wild.

    Features

    • Free Decent Sampler library by Venus Theory
    • Built from Soma Terra performances (one‑by‑one note sampling)
    • Dual‑layer engine with user‑selectable sources (Source Select knobs)
    • “Auras” engine controls: Expression, Dynamics, Filtering, Effects
    • Experimental IR collection tailored for Lichen
    • 20 presets included + Init
    • Organic, evolving pads and textures in under 200 MB

    Formats & Requirements

    Requires the free Decent Sampler plugin (macOS/Windows/Linux; also available on iOS). Load Auras:Lichen inside Decent Sampler.

    Free Download

    Auras:Lichen library for Decent Sampler is available as a free download from Venus Theory’s Gumroad.

  • Reflex Acoustics Releases Reflexive Free EQ VST Plugin

    Reflex Acoustics Releases Reflexive Free EQ VST Plugin

    Reflex Acoustics has released the Reflexive EQ plugin as a free download (VST3, AU, and AAX). It’s a fast, dynamic EQ focused on transparent mid/side tone‑shaping with automatic gain‑staging and a minimal control set.

    The core engine uses four dynamic bell filters that can compress or expand, so you can tamp down harshness, enhance transients, or open up space without static boosts and cuts.

    Dynamic Bells And Mid/Side Control

    Each of the four bands can run in compression or expansion and target Mid and/or Side information. That makes it easy to de‑ess the center while widening air on the sides, or carve space around vocals, drums, and bass without smearing the stereo image.

    Detection, Look‑Ahead, And Auto Gain

    Attack and Release are available per band, with up to 10 ms Look‑Ahead for clean, responsive action. The detector range is customizable (and can be auditioned), with an automatic threshold that behaves consistently on both loud and quiet material. Optional automatic make‑up gain aims for a neutral LUFS impact, so the level stays honest while the tone changes.

    Features

    • Up to four independent dynamic EQ bell curves (Gain, Frequency, Q, Attack, Release)
    • Compression or expansion per band
    • Mid/Side processing per band
    • Customizable detector frequency range with audition
    • Up to 10 ms Look‑Ahead
    • Automatic detector threshold for level‑independent behavior
    • Optional automatic make‑up gain targeting neutral LUFS change
    • External sidechain ducking (AU: click “Sidechain” in the display to activate)
    • Spectrum analyzer with enhanced low‑end time/frequency resolution
    • Highlights potentially clashing frequencies when an external sidechain is connected
    • Resizable user interface
    • Factory presets included

    Formats And Requirements

    Reflexive EQ is available for macOS and Windows in VST3, AU, and AAX formats.

    Free Download

    Reflexive EQ plugin is available as a free download from Reflex Acoustics.

  • Joonas Ylänne Releases Animal Pads Free Decent Sampler Instrument

    Joonas Ylänne Releases Animal Pads Free Decent Sampler Instrument

    Joonas Ylänne has released Animal Pad, a free Decent Sampler instrument built entirely from animal recordings. The concept started as a sound‑design experiment: could EQ, long reverbs, and gentle harmonic boosts turn everyday animal sounds into playable pads?

    Background & Concept

    The library features four sources, Dog, Frog, Pig, and Sheep – each sculpted into sustained textures. The result leans ambient and cinematic: soft, evolving layers that can sit behind keys, guitars, or strings without stealing the spotlight.

    Interface & Sound

    At the center is an XY controller that blends the four voices in real time, making it easy to dial organic movement and evolving timbres. The long tails and tone shaping give you airy beds, subtle swells, and a hint of the original character if you push the mix.

    Features

    • Free Decent Sampler instrument by Joonas Ylänne
    • Four sources: Dog, Frog, Pig, Sheep
    • XY controller for real‑time blending and movement
    • Pads built with long reverb tails and harmonic EQ boosts
    • Ambient, cinematic textures for beds, layers, and atmospheric cues
    • Credits: Source recordings from freesound.org

    Formats & Requirements

    Requires the free Decent Sampler plugin (macOS/Windows/Linux; also available on iOS). Load the Animal Pads library inside Decent Sampler and you’re set.

    Free Download

    Animal Pads Decent Sampler instrument can be downloaded for free/pay-what-you-want from Joonas Ylänne’s Gumroad.

    The Voice: Dot Allison

    • Performances by Dot Allison
    • Vowel sounds with curated effects
    • Designed as a companion to Dulcet Voice
