TBProAudio has released TBPAVolume, a free volume control utility plugin for macOS and Windows built for precision gain staging and volume automation inside your DAW.

Albums including Sinners Like Me and Carolina spawned hits that…

We’ve had the Six-Traq (Sequential Circuits Six Trak), Paralogy (Crumar Trilogy/Stratus), and the slightly bonkers but brilliant Broken Mini (Minimoog). And let’s not forget the Fury-800, which emulates the wonderfully lo-fi Korg Poly-800. Now, Björn (Full Bucket Music) is giving us the sound of a vintage Korg for free. The Korg in question is the 1982 Poly-61. OK, so I might be slightly optimistic in calling it a classic in the title. As a…
