OSC Audio releases BFM metering plugin suite (VST3/AU)
OSC Audio has introduced a new metering plugin for Windows and Mac.
BFM (or Big F*ing Meters) offers a large display of the RMS, LUFs, Peak, and Peak Hold values of your audio in various modes.
With the main goal of readability, we wanted to bring a meter that you can see from across the studio and keep your records clip-free.
BFM currently offers 5 Modes with RMS, LUFs, Peak, and Peak Hold values, to give you a variety of views to keep your signal under control. The Text, Bars, Waves, VU Meters, Spectrum let you decide how you want to keep track of your signal.
The plugin is currently available in VST/VST3 and AU formats for Windows and Mac. An iOS version will be available soon.
Regularly $1 USD, you can download BFM for free for a limited time at the OSC Audio Gumroad page.
Kilohearts Essentials is a free collection of extremely useful effects which can be used as regular plugins in your DAW or loaded as Snapins in any Kilohearts Snapin Host.
Cool WAV has introduced a bundle comprising all of its 47 free products released in 2021 and 2022.
The bundle includes a wide range of sample packs, presets for a variety of effect plugins and synths such as Pigments, Phase Plant, Surge, Vital, Circle2, and many more, and two VST3 plugins for Windows.
Since this is 1.5gb in size, you will download it through a Google drive link. Gumroad has a file upload limit of 250mb for free products. When you buy products from Cool WAV, it will always be a direct download.
I have included a backup direct download link in case the Google drive link doesn’t work for you. Enter $1 then click pay, and enter discount code “free” to download it for free.
