Lushtraq - AI-Assisted Multiband Compressor

Lushtraq is a VST3 (Windows 64-bit) multiband compressor with saturation, built for precision dynamics control and musical tone shaping. This powerful tool combines per-band compression, analog-style saturation, and intelligent workflow features to help you mix faster and more effectively.

Each of the four bands includes a uniquely tuned signal path with custom compressors, tailored saturation curves, and wide-knee dynamics — all optimized for their specific frequency ranges. The result is a natural, musical response that makes Lushtraq much more than a typical multiband compressor with saturation.

Minimal-phase crossover filters ensure clean transitions between bands, preserving phase integrity and mix clarity. Real-time gain reduction meters, per-band mute controls, and external sidechain support give you hands-on control at every step.

At the heart of Lushtraq is an AI-powered Smart Assistant that offers loudness-based, genre-specific, and platform-ready suggestions. Whether you’re working on vocals, mastering a track, or mixing for streaming platforms, the Smart Assistant helps you make confident, informed decisions quickly.

Manda Audio MT Power Drum Kit 2 v2.1.3 x64 x86 VST VST3 AU AAX LiNUX WiN MAC [FREE]

 

MT Power Drum Kit is a free drum sampler offering the powerful, high-quality sounds of an acoustic, realistic drum kit. Samples have been specially recorded and processed to make them ideally suited for use in pop, rock and metal productions.

The MT Power Drum Kit Sampler differs from other, expensive drum samplers in that we have already pre-processed the sounds with compressors and EQs to make them a perfect fit for any mix. This is precisely where many drum sample programs fail. Some of the expensive plugins available on the market deliver a highly natural and dynamic drum kit sound as a solo instrument, but many fail as soon as they are supposed to be used for a complete mix in a powerful pop or rock production.

Either the kick drum suddenly sounds much too slack or fuzzy in the mix, or the snare drum, which initially sounds natural and dynamic in solo mode, suddenly gets lost in the background in the overall mix, drowned out by the guitars and other instruments. But this is exactly where the MT Power Drum Kit is strongest. Its kick and snare drums come through clearly in any mixing situation – and still sound natural and not overly compressed.

The compressors built into the channels give you even more control over the level of compression.

You can choose from thousands of assorted rhythms in the comprehensive Groove Library and compose your own drum accompaniment. In particular, the innovative functions for creating fills generate very smooth and realistic drum tracks (see video).

Because we used high-quality cymbals and microphones for the recordings, the crash, ride and hi-hat cymbals sound especially refined and pleasant at various velocities.

As early as during microphoning of the set and recording of individual samples, we took great care to replicate realistic circumstances. Although doing so is almost impossible, we broke with tradition in sample recording, which calls for capturing every sound individually; Instead, our studio drummer played entire grooves. Then, we cut most of the necessary sounds out of the grooves, in various velocities, and processed them to deliver samples as realistic as possible. This is especially clear with our hi-hat samples, for instance. On the right-hand side, you can listen to demo tracks to hear the impressive results.

System Requirements:

PC: Windows 11 / 10 / 8 / 7 / Vista / XP

Mac: OS X 10.5 or higher, Intel or ARM (M1/M2/M3) cpu

Linux: Wine + VST bridge

MT-PowerDrumKit will work in most hosts that support the VST, AAX or AU standards.
