Audio Plugin Deals is offering Ink Vocal by Ink Audio as a free download for a limited time. The Kontakt library normally costs $50. I noticed Ink Audio’s website around Black Friday last year, and I was very tempted to buy the complete bundle. The developer has some really unique instruments on the site, including some that I haven’t seen in any bread-and-butter sample library catalog. You can find things like a talk box, a collection of toy pianos, banjo, slide guitar, and other instruments that could help spark an idea or two. However, as I was trying to reduce…

Hell Yes Loop Lab has released HYLL Pressure, a free/pay-what-you-want soft clipper plugin for macOS and Windows. Does the world really need another soft clipper? Probably not. Definitely not, even. Do I need this soft clipper? I don’t. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth a look because, the way I see it, with plugins, even very simple ones, everyone has preferences. Some people choose a plugin because of the sound, some because of the workflow, and sometimes even because the interface puts them in the right mood to make something. HYLL Pressure definitely has a unique visual style, and…

M Media Audio has released Violet Crown, a free stereo channel strip plugin for macOS, Windows, and Linux. This is the first freebie from M Media Audio, although the developer also has three paid plugins on the site. Alternate Timeline is a bus and mastering processor, Speaker Breaker focuses on low-end balance, and Velvet Crush is aimed at high-frequency balance, and all three are priced between $29 and $39 at the moment. My first impressions weren’t great because some of the graphics on the M Media Audio website have that AI-generated look to me, and I am not a big…

Flame Sound is celebrating its 5th anniversary with a limited-time $5 offer on the Firestarter SFX cinematic sound effects collection. I launched Flame Sound five years ago as my cinematic sound label, and at the time, it was pretty much a passion project, much like Bedroom Producers Blog was in the beginning. I was not expecting too much, and it was mostly a way to share the cinematic sounds I had been making while working on other cinematic projects. However, the response after the first release (Inferno SFX) was far more positive than I expected, so I kept going, and…

sonible is offering its learn:bundle for €49 instead of €199 until June 8th. The learn:bundle includes five AI-assisted mixing plugins made to help newer producers improve their mixes while learning what each processor is doing. The included tools are learn:EQ, learn:comp, learn:limit, learn:reverb, and learn:unmask. It helps producers who want help getting started with core mixing tasks, but do not want a plugin that simply hides everything behind a magic button. The idea is to combine automatic analysis with enough guidance and control that you can understand why the processing works. Each plugin has an Assisted View and an Advanced…

Eli & Flo has released HiPan, a free dual-band panning utility plugin for macOS and Windows. HiPan is a simple tool that lets you pan high and low frequencies independently instead of moving the entire signal left or right. I like having a folder with simple utilities like this when mixing. It is not that you cannot recreate the same basic idea with other plugins in your DAW, but it is definitely quicker to put HiPan on a channel than to set up multiband routing just to pan one part of the spectrum differently. It’s definitely not a must-have. But…

Trebless has released Tesseract Echo, a free multi-tap magnetic tape delay and FDN reverb for macOS, Windows, and Linux. I still miss the old arcDev ET-301 delay plugin, which is sadly discontinued. But because of that, I still test every new delay plugin that pops up, hoping I will find something with a similar sound. Tesseract Echo is a different beast, but not a bad one if you like playing around with multi-tap delays. It is deep and super tweakable. Definitely worth a look if you enjoy building more complex delay spaces with modulation and stuff. The plugin has a…

Fender, one of the most recognisable brand names in the world, is to the guitar what Steinway is to the piano – it is the name that comes to mind first, even for people who have never played an instrument in their lives. That kind of brand identity and trust takes a lifetime to build, if you’re lucky; most brands never get there. Unfortunately, almost all current discussions about Fender focus on what many consider to be overreaching and unnecessarily aggressive legal action surrounding the copyright of the Stratocaster (S-Style) body design. With these latest legal proceedings, the iconic manufacturer,…

Developer DAWJunkie has released Peggio Jr, a free arpeggiator synth for macOS and Windows. Whenever we speak about a new freebie from DAWJunkie, we rarely have to wait too long before the next one comes around. It has only been a few weeks since we covered Mini-Menace, DAWJunkie’s free nod to the Arturia MicroBrute, and here we are, ready to check out another new release. This time, it’s Peggio Jr, a free arpeggiator-based synth. Peggio Jr is available in AU, VST, and AAX formats for macOS and Windows. At its core, Peggio Jr isn’t too different from previous releases; it’s…

2B Played Music is offering QFX Color as a free download until June 26th, 2026. QFX Color normally costs €19.99 and is currently listed at €14.99 during the developer’s June sale, but you can get it for free by using the coupon code “JUNE26” at checkout. We covered QFX Color before, and we have also covered several other one-off plugins from 2B Played Music over the years. I said it before, and I will say it again. These are not groundbreaking tools, and they are not some must-have plugins you need to drop everything for, but they are decent at…
