Hi there Nigel

The Tal plug was one of Legion's contributions so no doubt he'll be able to help out with your question.

Glad you liked the thread!

Steve

Thanks for the heads up John - I look forward to seeing what they come up with.

ORIGINAL: No How

Steve,
This thread has changed my life

You're a cakewalk superhero!

Thanks Rick, that's kind - don't forget Legion though, he actually supplied more VST's than me to the finished list!

Bajan Blue: I don't think TAL Tube has been updated but most of their other plugins have been and they have a new very good dub delay as well now. I really like the TAL Tube though, it don't sound exactly as good as Bootsies Tessla but I find it much faster to work with on the other hand so it's one of my go to plugs. Tls Saturated Driver is really good to on the other hand so check that out if you dont like the TAL but personally, I use TAL's plug more. Usually on tracks I start with the TAL Tube to get the warmth and put JB's FEROX as the last plug in the chain to "put it on tape" and am very happy with the effect. On the masterbus I almost always put the Colortone Free as well as the the Nebula 3 Free (wonderful sound but CPU hog) and mix through them. Why do you dislike the TAL tube?

JayJay: Thanks for the information about the new plugs!

No How: Thanks a lot for the kind words

Steve: Wow it feels good that this thread seems to have contributed to many people don't you agree?

Keep up the good work Strummy!

-1 keg leaves 3 to go. By the way where are my fuel vouchers?

Bajan Blue: What did you think of the TAL plugs this time around? (I actually didn't like them at first but after listening to them a little more it seems I just thought they had booring GUI's and let that affect my judgement...)

Now downloaded and installed. I have to say these are far better than what I remember. The TAL tube sounds really good as did the chorus. I shall definitely be using these in the future.
I also downloaded the synths while I was at it - nothing ground breaking but for FREE!!!!!
Once again, thanks to you and Steve for this great list - wish I'd known about a few of these before buying some of the commercial products I use, which more and more I am coming to the conclusion are probably not much better than some of the excellent free products available. As I mentioned in my original post I have been using the Jeroen Breebaart plug ins for some time, and they always seem to end up in my work now.
Thanks
Nigel

SoulPuppy,

Just install them to Sonar's shared plugins folder on your computer and then run the Cakewalk VST scanner to allow Sonar to find them. Then they will show up in your plugin list.

Hope this helps!
Bob

Thanks Steve, over in Guitar Tracks, I've just put up a load of links to various free VST download sites - some of the links are to sites that also have links to plugs and to other sites!

I don't entirely understand what you mean. Do you only use your computers wavetable midi or do you mean you only use soft synths? If you use midi via for example TTS1 or the other synths you can mix and add effects and mix right away. If you don't use soft synths but only the microsoft wavetable, start using soft synths emidiatly Check out the tutorials in your manual, I think they are pretty good for begginers.

Shawn, you better ask these questions on the dedicated forum of the Cakewalk software you're using. And do start a thread of your own for your question. This thread is about those free plugins. No harm done, though

Bump

Off to check 'em out now

Here's a link: http://rekkerd.org/bootsy-plug-ins/

Have you tried the new Bootsie plugs yet? I tried them a little and really liked the sound but haven't had the time to work with music that much at all lately. To much going on around me right now...
