From developer Tomasz Głuc comes the alpha version OMNi, a free Rust-based DAW. While our favourite plugins may change over time, it’s not uncommon to stick with the same DAW for the entirety of our musical lives. After a brief spell with Cubase, I made an early jump to Logic Pro, and other than making…
Auburn Sounds has announced the release of Psypan 2, a binaural panner and stereo multi-effect plug-in for macOS, Windows and Linux. Psypan is available in 2 versions: A FREE Edition with 10 pan modes. A FULL Edition with 17 pan modes. So the Full Psypan 2 offers quite a lot of ways to interact with…
noizplay has released nyVERB, an algorithmic reverb with a dense, silky tail and two highly practical controls built right into the plugin: focus and duck. Both cover jobs that usually require extra plugins and routing around the reverb — an EQ in front of the send, a sidechain compressor on the reverb bus. From tight…

Shadaloo Audio DSP has released APD Compressor, a free/pay-what-you-want vocal compressor plugin for macOS and Windows. We recently covered several plugins from Fabio “Shadaloo” Caterino, including the free H tone and loudness enhancer, the Wide spatial enhancement plugin, and the excellent Vinland Drive tape emulator. APD Compressor continues the developer’s pay-what-you-want approach. You can enter…
ZL Audio has released ZL Spectrum Equalizer, a free and open-source dynamic spectrum equalizer plugin for Windows, macOS, and Linux. I already expected something like this coming from ZL Audio at some point. The developer is behind the excellent ZL Equalizer 2 and ZL Compressor, both of which received some fantastic feedback from the BPB…
