Moonwave FX Parallax
Audio Plugin Deals has launched a promotion on Moonwave FX’s dual-engine sonic morphing effect plugin, offering Parallax as a free download for the next few days.
Parallax is a dual-engine multi-effect designed to sculpt sound between precision and abstraction. The Reality Engine tightens transients and harmonics for punch, while the Dream Engine dissolves audio into evolving textures and spatial depth.
A single Morph control lets you drift seamlessly between these two worlds, creating organic movement without complex routing. Smart parameter linking ensures every adjustment stays musical and balanced.
Available for Windows and macOS (VST3/AU), Parallax is free until February 26th, 2026.
Free compressor with high-res dynamic visualiser and VCA/Optical modes.
Key Features
Flexible compressor controls - Threshold, Ratio (1:1 to 24:1), Attack (20 microseconds to 250 milliseconds), Release (25 milliseconds to 5 seconds), Knee (0dB to 18dB).
Regular/Optical modes - In Regular mode, attack and release curves are linear. In Optical mode, the attack time is variable, and the the release curve has two stages (50% in 1 second, then a slower tail for the remaining 50%).
Detector HPF - Apply a high-pass to the detector/sidechain circuit to shape what the compressor hears.
External sidechain - Sidechain the compressor to an external signal. HPF, LPF and Lookahead will now apply to the external sidechain audio.
Free preset library - 10 free presets to recreate different classic compressors.
GPU graphics - Waveform visualiser leverages GPU for increased performance.
Value typing - Double click to type in values.
Dynamic window resizing - Simply drag from the bottom right corner to resize the plugin.
Minimum requirements - macOS 10.13, Windows 10
Feedforward design - The compressor operates in a feedforward design with peak detection. This emulates the characteristics of VCA compressors, known for their versatility.
Delta listen - Hear exactly what the plugin is doing by listening to the delta (aka difference) between the dry and wet signal.
Waveform visualiser - Before/after waveform, gain reduction lines and threshold line. Pause function to freeze waveform. Zoom in/out. Enable/disbale bar and beat lines.
Built-in presets manager - Navigate included presets and save your own presets within the plugin.
Value windows - Exact values of each dial shown on hover.
Low CPU load - Optimized for efficient CPU usage, allowing a large number of instances. CPU load is lower than comparable compressors when optional modules are bypassed.
No license or activation required - Simply download and run the installer
Struggling to find a heavy guitar tone that actually works in a project can be exhausting. You can spend hours stacking different sims and trial-and-error pedals, only to end up with a sound that is too harsh, too muddy, or completely lost once the drums kick in.
Tamazight Metal Amp was designed to solve that frustration immediately. It provides a rock-solid, production-ready foundation that turns your raw DI signal into a crushing, mix-stabilized guitar tone, at zero cost.
This isn’t just a demo; it’s a high-performance engine. Built on the same architecture as our Pro suite, this version offers a streamlined, professional signal path: Pre-Amp Processing → High-Gain Head → Cab Simulation → Surgical EQ → Time-Based FX. You get a fully integrated workflow including a precision noise gate and a built-in tuner to keep your session moving.
Everything under the hood is calibrated for modern heavy music. The core high-gain amp character is paired with three meticulously voiced cabinets to ensure your tracks have the punch and clarity required for high-standard productions. With professional-grade Compressor, Drive, Delay, and Reverb pedals included, you have a complete rig ready for any project.
Features
- Full Guitar Rig in One Plugin: Pre Pedals, Amp Head, Cabinet section, 9-Band EQ, and Post FX in a single streamlined chain.
- Amp Head: Versatile Amp Head that covers most sub-genres of Metal (Trash Metal, Metalcore, Djent, Heavy Metal, Nu-Metal) and even other genres beyond Metal such as Grunge and Punk. (Pro Version includes +2 Amp heads for a total of three distinct amp characters for modern production, thick rhythm, focused lead bite, and rich clean tones)
- Cabinet Section : 3 meticulously voiced cabinet modes (Pro version includes 6 modes and User IR loading)
- Compressor and Drive Pedals: Pre-Amp Pedals that contribute to a more controlled and yet aggressive sound. (Pro Version also includes "The Abyss" pedal)
- Delay and Reverb Pedals: Add more space to your sound with these high quality pedals. (Pro Version also includes "The Stars" pedal)
- Transpose (±12 Semitones): Instant down-tuning, alternate tunings, and creative pitch shifts without leaving your session.
- Tight Noise Gate: Keeps high-gain silent between notes and locks rhythm guitars into a clean, aggressive pocket.
- 9-Band Guitar EQ: Highly relevant frequency bands (62Hz to 16kHz) for precise mix sculpting with ±12 dB control.
- Preset Workflow + A/B Compare: Fast preset browsing, saving, and instant A/B testing to make better tone decisions quickly.
- Preset Library: +20 presets included to cover modern rhythm tones, leads, cleans, and creative FX starting points. (Pro version only includes +50 presets.)
- Built-In Tuner: Tune inside the plugin (with output muting) and keep the workflow moving.
mvMeter is a multivariable meter including RMS, EBUR128, VU and PPM (BBC nad EBU) measurement. mvMeter2 is the successor of mvMeter and adds single/dual meter display, adjustable reference level for all meter modes, adjustable meter delay and preset management.
Features:
- behavior of classic analog VU and PPM meters
- multiple measurement modes: PEAK, RMS, EBU R128, VU and PPM (BBC and EBU)
- multi channel metering: stereo, left, right, mid, side
Isol8 is an advanced mix monitoring tool. It divides the frequency range into 5 bands. These 5 bands can be soloed or muted individually. This will help you to concentrate on certain frequency ranges during the mixing and mastering process.
On top you can use ISLO8 as a flexible multi-band splitter with following complex plugin chains. The split signal can finally be mixed together. Isol8 is originally designed to be used on the master track, but it can also be used on individual audio track busses.
