LoudMax developer Thomas Mundt has released version 1.08 of LUveler, a loudness and dynamics modification plugin compatible with the ITU-R BS.1770 specification.
It provides a precise reduction of the dynamics and works as transparently as possible to maintain the sound quality even under heavy use of its compressors and limiters.
This allows a wide range of applications, such as matching dynamic material produced according to the EBU R 128 to a much louder platform. Or the automatic leveling of a podcast. Or simply increasing or decreasing loudness without changing the dynamic range. High-quality true peak limiters avoid exceeding the maximum level.
LUveler is free to download as a LADSPA plugin for Windows and Linux, and a 32/64-bit VST version for Windows is available as well.
Audiomodern has announced the release of a brand new audio effect plugin for Windows, Mac and iOS.

Following the recent Fujara Flute, Vienna Symphonic Library has announced the release of its latest free instrument Soft Imperial, a virtual piano library for the Synchron Player.
Indulge in the gentle sounds and colors of a magnificent Bösendorfer Imperial. Rather than being dull or muffled, the clear and transparent tones of this beautiful grand piano lend themselves well to a lot of styles, from intimate and sparse arrangements to larger instrumentations.
The instrument was recorded in the tight and controlled ambience of our second studio, the Silent Stage, so that you can place your piano in any acoustic environment. Many different placements and reverberation settings are preconfigured and readily available in the Vienna Synchron Player, with Mixer Presets from a dry player’s perspective, to various reverb lengths, big hall placements and ethereal effects.
The Soft Imperial is free to download for the Synchron Player software for Windows and Mac (VST/VST3, AU, AAX and standalone).
Tone Empire has announced the release of a neural network-based EQ and saturation effect plugin for Windows and Mac.
The circuit-modeled Neural Q plugin faithfully captures the dynamic behavior and sound of a well-known vintage German equalizer and a modern solid state preamp.
Neural Q gives your music a very “analog” sounding Top-end sparkle and “heavy” bottom end seldom found in plugin equalizers.
The pre-amp section has been accurately captured from a solid-state modern pre-amp with CineMag Transformers.
The plugin is available as a free download in VST3, AU and AAX formats until May 1st, 2022. The regular price is $49 USD.
Nembrini Audio has announced the launch of its Chromatic Tuner, a free tuner plugin designed for guitarists and bassists.
The new compact Nembrini Audio Chromatic Tuner plugin is a fast, accurate, high quality tuner tool. It has a big, bright, full colour LED display which shows current detected frequency and note. The audio signal output can be muted for silent tuning.
The ultra-precise tuner gives ±0.01 cent accuracy with calibration to any pitch – A=440 as default. Drop and capo modes are available and the Nembrini Audio Chromatic Tuner plugin allows users to transpose notes up or down up to one full octave.
The Nembrini Audio Chromatic Tuner is available to download for Windows and Mac in VST/VST3, AU and AAX plugin formats and the iOS version for iPhone and iPad is free at the App Store.
DReverb is a free plugin for creating high quality algorithmic reverbs. A feature of this plugin, like other reverbs from Stone Voices , is a wide range of reverb times (up to 100 seconds), as well as low CPU consumption. The design of the plug-in is made using vector graphics, which allows you to get high quality images on monitors with different resolutions.
Higher Hz has released a free creative effect plugin that emulates some of the feel and character of analog (BBD) and early digital delay units.
Designed to add depth and sparkle to the sounds in your mix, HZ Delay features tape echo and multi-tap echo, saturation, chorus (simple and BBD), and reverb with early reflections.
This is not a clone of any unit at all so has been built as a new & unique architecture to help bring something different to users’ mixes.
This different approach is evident right away because many typical features are deliberately missing or delivered in a unique way. One of those is that even the “dry” signal is Saturated/Distorted so that when the wet & dry signals are combined, the result is a lot richer than usual. Everything about this unit was designed for character.
Sonic options run through Chorus, Reverb/Early Reflections, Tape Echo, Multi-Tap Echo, and Saturation. Part of the character of HZ Delay comes as you tend to be using some or all of these outcomes all at once.
HZ Delay features:
Saturation/Drive on input & output.
3 x Delay/Echo Sections (5 total).
Hi & Lo Pass Filters.
Global Feedback + X-Feedback.
Modulation for every echo point.
Stereo Width.
Mixing options.
8 presets to get your started.
HZ Delay is available to download in VST/VST3 and AU plugin formats at no charge.
