Ha ha, being poor means one has to searsh for the gems in the jungle of free stuff I got really inspired by your post and as I saw some of my favourite plugs mentioned I thought I could add some more to the list. This thread is definitely a great initiative!


I've only paid for two plugins - the PSP Vintage Warmer 2, which is a really impressive bit of kit and gets used all over my mixes, and I just bought the Har-Bal software two days ago but I haven't had much chance to play with it yet.

The rest of the 200 plus VST's I've got available either came with my recording software or a free downloads!

I just did a scan of my vst-folder and found 697 dll-files... I haven't bought one VST yet (just don't have the money, there sure are some I want...) if one don't count the ones that comes bundled with hardware or the Sonah. (I really need to have a late spring clean in my folder though as there, obviously, are a lot I never actually use and some that indeed are quite bad)

Ha ha - 697!! - and I thought I was a hoarder!!

BTW, I can't believe I missed out the Bass Lane from my original set - it has a permanent spot in my bass guitar FX bin and if I'm not using loops, I bus it and send the kick drum through it too.




PS - I'll be done in about 5 minutes with the edit!

So does the wow and flutter affect both channels the same or each individually? Or could applying this effect separately to L and R channels with subtle yet slightly different settings be used to make a recording sound wider (since the L/R difference would be slightly increased)? After reading some threads about how some people claim that digital recording narrows the stereo field someone suggested that L and R channels on tape may not be 100% in sync that it may be the cause of the so-called "wider" analog sound. It would be interesting to test that idea in digital using something like this plugin...

BTW, I haven't forgotten getting you involved on HOTMK - I just haven't got around to arranging the bits and bobs into a coherent song yet. I'll let you know when I finally get there if you're still up for it.



Bien sur mon ami. Looking forward to it.

Cheers

Lucas - if you set the unit to 'Dual' mode, there are separate controls for the left and right channels - Legion may be able to help you more as it's one of his.



Shad - I'll be in touch.

The description for the YouWaShock plug is a classic:

Use: Though nothing can bring back the missing particle You Wa Shock ! strength is in the behind parts. Excrete excite sound for your trucks. Push harder for more excite sound. The knob will go up. You can operate You Wa Shock ! as early as possible in the truck or to be late. The 4 A B C D fixings create new crunch excrete. Listen for a happy sound.


I've been searching for a way to excrete excite sound for my trucks. :)

altima_boy_2001: You should be able to do that, just remember to keep the effect subtle or you could easily make it sound old and broke instead (wich sometimes, still, combined with a tape saturator can be just what the doctor ordered )

What pray tell is a truck? (Other than a vehicle for hauling stuff?)

A truck is, off course, what every musician want to excrete excite from. Do it early, don't be to late!
