FREE: Dagon resonance suppressor effect plugin by Mercurial Tones

 

Mercurial Tones Dagon
Mercurial Tones has introduced a new audio plugin which is designed to delivers smart resonance control and volume suppression.

Dagon pulls the painful parts down without flattening the track. Resonances, harsh notes, and runaway level spikes are detected in context, then reduced with transparent spectral control that keeps the musical shape intact.

Dagon features:

Smart suppression – Resonance control that follows the source: Smart mode detects relative spectral prominence instead of chasing raw input level. Quiet tracks and loud tracks get consistent resonance reduction, so you can set the amount musically and keep moving.
Focus – Broad or surgical: Focus controls spectral selectivity without changing the feel of the plugin. Low values are wider and smoother. High values are narrower and more surgical, locking onto the exact resonant areas that need to move.
Five Modes – Choose the kind of control: Dagon is not locked to one style of suppression. Move from classic resonance control to softer perceptual cleanup, volume ducking, or Smart mode when you want the plugin to decide from musical context.
The plugin is free to download for Windows and macOS in VST3 and AU formats.

FREE BandMatrix by Bitter Apple

 

BandMatrix

Released — Version 2.9.0.

Free 6-Band Sidechain Dynamics Plug-in

BandMatrix is a free 6-band sidechain dynamics plug-in with compression, expansion, flexible key routing, Tone Shaper mode, and Inverse sidechain mode. Each band can listen to the internal signal, external sidechain input, or another band, so you can create targeted ducking and inter-band control without compressing the whole mix.

What it does:
Split the signal into multiple bands and apply independent compression per band.
Per band, choose a key source: Internal, External sidechain, Mix, or Other band.
Create precise ducking (e.g., kick → bass low band) and inter-band control (e.g., harsh band → tame presence) without affecting the entire spectrum.
Version 2.9.0 improves compressor release behavior and reduces burst-boundary artifacts while preserving the static curve and transient pass-through.
Tone Shaper mode adds a more flexible way to shape spectral balance inside the band matrix workflow.
The window is now resizable for easier editing on different screen sizes.

FREE: QingX Clean Amp plugin by Saint Mike DSP

 

Saint Mike DSP has recently launched a free amp effect plugin which is designed to provide a clean guitar tone.

Struggling to find a clean guitar tone that actually works in a project can be surprisingly frustrating. Often, raw DI signals end up sounding sterile, thin, or completely washed out and muddy the moment you try to add space effects like delay and reverb.

QingX Clean Amp was designed to solve that frustration immediately. It provides a boutique, crystalline foundation that turns your dry DI track into a sparkling, professional tone perfect for Indie, Midwest Emo, Country, and Post-Punk, at zero cost.

The plugin is available in VST3, AU and AAX formats for Windows and macOS.

Priced $119.95 USD (ex. taxes where applicable), QingX Clean Amp Pro comes with two additional amp heads, three extra cabinet modes and a User IR Loader, more fx, pro-quality oversampling, and more.

Violet Crown is a stereo channel strip

 

Six filters. A bus compressor. Zero dollars.

Violet Crown is a stereo channel strip built around the EQ and compression character that defined the sound of major-label bus processing. Three independent EQ bands - each with separate boost and cut controls - feed a custom RMS compressor with program-sensitive auto-release. The VU meters are real, the ballistics are analog, and the whole thing is free. No demo mode. No time limit. No license key. Drop it on a bus and play something.
