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 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.
Constellations Sequencer is an audio plugin that generates rhythmic patterns via Euclidean algorithms, dual-layer polyphonic channels, parametric modulation, and intelligent harmony engines in a streamlined focus-plus-context interface.
Adjustable lookahead time for pre-ducking (0-5000 ms)
Mid/side (center) ducking mode
High-shelf filter ducking mode with adjustable frequency
Mix sidechain source to output
atkDucker is a audio ducker plugin designed for reducing background audio materials when a priority source such as speech is present in the sidechain input. It is useful for ducking audio content like music or game audio under commentary & dialogue, voice-over and announcements in live and post-production workflows. Mid/side mode allows attenuation to focus on the center image while preserving stereo width, and filter mode enables high-frequency ducking with adjustable frequency.
Parameters
Main
Threshold: Level at which sidechain signal triggers ducking.
Amount: Controls how much main signal is reduced when ducking is active.
Attack: Time for ducker to reach full attenuation after sidechain exceeds threshold.
Hold: Time to maintain ducking after sidechain drops below threshold.
Release: Time for ducker to return to unity gain after hold period.
Mid/Side Mode
Mid/Side (Center) Mode: Ducks only center (mono) content.
M/S (Center) Link: Controls how much side channels follow center ducking.
Options
Lookahead: Pre-ducking delay time in milliseconds (0-5000 ms, default 0). Value 0 disables lookahead. Causes matching latency.
Filter Mode: Enables high-frequency ducking.
Filter Frequency: Sets the high-shelf frequency for ducking.
Linear Time Constants: Uses linear attack and release curves instead of exponential.
Release Time 10x: Multiplies release time by 10 for longer release times.
Levels
Main Input Level: Adjusts level of main input signal.
Mix Sidechain to Output: Option to blend sidechain signal into main output.
Usage
Insert atkDucker audio plugin to ducking target track (e.g. music, game audio)
Route key source (e.g. voice, dialogue) to sidechain input
Adjust Threshold so ducking triggers when voice is present
Set Amount to control how much background is reduced
Adjust Attack for smooth or fast ducking response
Set Hold and Release to match pacing of content
Use Mid/Side mode to duck only center while keeping stereo ambience
Notes/Tips
When blending sidechain to main output, usually desirable to mute original sidechain source to avoid doubling.
Too much ducking can sound distracting, so adjust Amount carefully.
LIMITED TIME OFFER: Don't miss out on this pack, it won't be available for long!
amped free guitar loops for future bass, pop, and chill
When we released our first guitar bonus pack in our soundset Chainsmoking, we had no idea the guitar song starter kits would get as popular as they did. Flash forward to Ashes and Grey Area, and our guitar samples have been used in huge songs by artists like Illenium, Maren Morris, Rita Ora & more.
Amped is a collection of 25 WAV guitar loops inspired by Illenium, Lauv, The Chainsmokers, Said The Sky and more.
We probably should have made Amped a paid product, but we decided to give it out for FREE because production ready guitar is hard to find and even harder to program via MIDI.
√ Electric and Acoustic Loops
√ Organized into song ideas
√ Very easy to kickstart new ideas with these loops
