John;

I make much use of these (freebies yet, but not bad at all):

Some free, some Donationware and some shareware here, but you can spend alot of time looking through these.

The Luxonix 1310 (bottom of page) is an excellent free multieffector.

Hope this helps.

They're all good in one way or another, but I'd have to say my personal favorite is the Lux. I find myself using that one several times on every project. Lots of different stuff in the same box!

I personally like the Wave effects from Native Instruments. They are a little pricey but worth it.

What do you think is so good about them?

Recently added Celemony Melodyne to my plugin list. It's a pitch/time correction and manipulation software. I get a lot of people whose vocals are . . .well . . .a little off sometimes. This plugin simply works and sounds incredibly natural. Great for adding harmonies too.

I have the waves plugins as well, I don't use all of them but some like maxbass bring out certain harmonics for low end stereos, I the eq is very precise, I suspect because of the algorithm, the L2 'CD" is good because I also use a program called Harbal which not only eq's but can give you a level match so your track are all the same volume. You plug the numbers into L2 and it does the job. The bad thing about some of the wav's effects is that they introduce latency. If you can mathematically place your track it's not a problem.

There are some interesting ones on this site

The ELOTTRONIX XL is great fun, a bit like Jim fixing it for you to be Robert Fripp for a day!

This site offers a free guitar amp simulation package

http://www.simulanalog.org/guitarsuite.htm

Some of the tones on offer are quite impressive.

This site lists loads of freebies

Have fun!

I've been making use of the 1973 channel strip and Event Horizon limiter from Stillwell. The limiter is really musical and not too hard on the CPU. The channel strip is supposed to be an emulation of a Neve channel strip. Can't say how it stacks up, if had a real Neve channel I wouldn't be trying to score free plug-ins. I can say that you can change settings in real time and hear the results, but the effects are always satisfying, at least as much as my music will allow and automation is fully implemented. They're not "free" by the way, but the full versions are available as an unlimited trial, so they're as good as free if that's what your budget will allow. The other products seem good too, but I haven't used them much as yet. If, er, I mean, when I start making money from music, I will certainly pay for these...
