Jul 26, 2020 When searching for a new delay VST plugin, producers usually ask themselves the same question: “are there any free alternatives?” The answer is: yes and no. There are many free EQ plugins out there, a few of which have a decent selection of additional features and are, for the most part, enough to get the job done. Aug 19, 2020 ReaEQ equalizer VST plugin is one of the best free plugins for music producers. Its a graphic equalizer plugin with lots of features that you generally get with a paid VST plugin. Here are some features of ReaEQ. This IR based equalizer has Unlimited bands.

Free quality plugins 2020

The price of software plugins has dropped a lot over the last 10 years. The market is flooded and the amount and quality of free plugins have never been higher. Today almost all audio plugin developers use some of their marketing budgets on downscaled versions of their products for promoting the brand and plugins.

But can you make 'professional' sounding mixes with free plugins? The answer is yes!

What makes a good free plugin:

It does not sound 'free'
It is competing with expensive plugins on at least a few features
CPU usage not too high
- Free plugins might not be as optimized as selling plugins
VST 3 format is a plus but not a must

Here are a few of the best free high-quality plugins that we have tested for this article:

Valhalla Supermassive from Valhalla DSP - NEW plugin
Voxengo SPAN
OrilRiver Reverb
Softtube The Knob
TAL Chorus LX
Xfer Records OTT Multiband Compressor

The plugins explained

The plugins are list in random order and not by rank. They are all good plugins for different sounds and mixing purposes.

Valhalla Supermassive

Valhalla Supermassive is a new free reverb plugin from Valhalla DSP. It is a new design with delays and reverbs and has a unique Warp feature for interesting sounds. It has fewer controls than the plugins from Valhalla for sale.

Valhalla Supermassive delay and reverb plugin

This is quality-algorithms for free! Try it.

This plugin is built on valuable knowledge and probably a tested framework used in the products for sale which gives the user a lot for the zero money.

Like in Vintageverb and Room the modes have names

OrilRiver Reverb

This is one of the better sounding free reverbs. No low quality ringing and it has a nice diffusion. It does not quite have the pro feel of Supermasssive but still a good free tool for a good reverb.

The GUI looks ok though 'free' but it still easy to dial in what you want.

The early reflection and variations- and reverb variation names are just 'Variation x'. In Supermassive at least they have names.

Voxengo SPAN

This is one of the best free metering plugins there is. It is frequently updated and has the metering you need for a modern music production setup.

Voxengo SPAN free analyzer and metering plugin

This metering plugin has all the basics:

Analyzer display
RMS
Peak
Correlation
MS spectrum analyzer
Crest factors
Different scales like K-12 and K-14

The contesters on the expensive pro-market are:

Izotope Insight 2
Flux Pure Analyzer
Steinberg Wavelab

The Knob saturation plugin

The knob is a simple one-knob saturation plugin with 3 modes. It creates pleasant saturation to distortion for different kinds of material.

Softtube The Knob plugin

This is a loud plugin and an output control would have been nice but like most free plugins, there often is a nag. The missing output control can be overcome with a trim plugin after in the plugin chain.

Xfer Records OTT Compressor

ITT is a different plugin. It is a multiband upward / downward compressor.

Xfer Records have more free plugins here

An alternative to this plugin is Waves MV2 which also has upward and down compression and limiting.

TAL Chorus LX

TAL Chorus LX is a plugin emulating the famous Juno 60 chorus from the vintage analog Roland synthesizer. A defining effect from a hardware synth.

Download the free TAL LX and get a high-quality effect.

The plugin

This plugin has a sweet wide sound. It is simple with 2 mode buttons and a stereo width control giving it 3 stages of effect. 1, 2, and both 1 and 2.

IZotope Ozone Imager

Izotope has released a simplified version of the imager component from the full Ozone mastering plugin. This is probably part of the marketing budget collection website profile members and setting focus on the full mastering plugin.

Faking stereo always has a downside so do not overdo it. but it can make the individual sound more interesting or widen a whole mix a but.

Flux Stereo Tool

A free stereo imaging and analysis plugin with a nice GUI.

The free Flux Stereo Tool

Features:

Input gain for left and right channel individually
Pan
Phase inverse
Vector Scope Display
Parameter morphing between presets

CPU usage

The CPU usage is not directly comparable since the processing is very different but here is a list:

As shown in the CPU usage table only Saturation knob and OTT Compressor has latency and most of them have insignificant CPU load. Supermassive has surprisingly low CPU usage.
