Parallax Audio Offers Virtual Sound Stage 2 as a Free Download
Parallax Audio is giving away Virtual Sound Stage 2, their spatial positioning plugin originally launched in 2014, as a completely free legacy version. If you work with virtual instruments and want a more realistic sense of depth and placement in your mixes, this is a great opportunity to grab a still-relevant tool for nothing.

A Spatial Mixer for Virtual Instruments

Virtual Sound Stage recreates the subtle differences in sound you’d hear at different positions in a real acoustic space, something most traditional reverbs ignore. Instead of faking depth with just pre-delay and reverb tails, it gives each instrument its own spatial footprint by combining modeled room reflections, mic setups, and stereo image shaping.

You can manage all plugin instances from a single control window, making it easy to place multiple instruments across the stereo field in realistic concert halls, scoring stages, studios, and cathedrals. With customizable mic positions and detailed room modeling, the plugin helps samples sit naturally together in a shared space.

Features
- Position instruments within realistic acoustic environments
- Classic halls, studios, scoring stages, and cathedrals
- Multiple microphone setup options with flexible positioning
- Single interface controls all plugin instances
- Compatible with modern OS and plugin formats
- Updated for Apple Silicon and VST3 support
- Plugin formats: VST3, AU, AAX (Mac & Windows)
System Requirements

macOS

Martinic Offers Free Lem Echo Music Plugin for a Limited Time
Martinic is celebrating Bandcamp Friday with a special giveaway: the Lem Echo Music plugin is available as a free 3-month Trial Plus license until October 6, 2025. It’s a faithful emulation of a vintage Italian tape delay unit, and this limited-time offer is a great excuse to explore its warm, nostalgic character, especially if you’re into retro textures or organ-style effects.

Tape Delay With Character

Lem Echo Music recreates the sound of three tape playheads running across a single strip of tape, complete with wow and flutter, as well as subtle degradation. Originally used by organists in the 1960s and 1970s, this type of delay became a signature sound for layered, atmospheric performances.

Martinic’s version nails the sound but also includes modern upgrades, extended parameter controls, added tone shaping, and a two-channel mixer that lets you dial in exactly the vibe you’re after.

Features
- Authentic emulation of the Lem Echo Music tape delay
- 3 playheads (80 ms, 210 ms, 330 ms)
- 7 delay tap combinations
- 9.5-second total tape loop length
- Wow and flutter modeling
- Wet mix and feedback controls
- Bass and treble tone shaping
- 2-channel mixer
- Classic VU meter display
- Also found in the Elka Panther plugin
Vintage Vibe, No Strings Attached (For Now)

This isn’t a stripped-down demo; the Trial Plus license gives you full plugin functionality for three months. It’s a great way to test it in your setup and see how it fits into your workflow. If you like it, you can grab it later as part of Martinic’s Retro Pack bundle.

Free Download

The Lem Echo Music (3-Month Trial Plus License) plugin is available for free at the Martinic website until October 6, 2025.
