Witch’s Brew Bitcrusher is available in AU, VST3, LV2, and CLAP formats for macOS, Windows, and Linux. The plugin has a regular retail price of $10, but you can download it for free until Halloween (October 31, 2025). Given how well this plugin visually represents the spookiest time of the year, it’s easy to imagine that Witch’s Brew Bitcrusher is just a bit of Halloween fun, but there’s more to it than that.

Berglind Audio has released Oolong Jr, a free saturation plugin for macOS and Windows. Oolong Jr is a streamlined version of the full-featured Oolong saturator. That said, even in its cut-down form, the freebie packs decent amounts of mojo and might earn a spot in your mixing chain.

Bedroom Guitar seems like the perfect name for this library, and not only because we’re all about bedroom producers around here. It’s the perfect name because, as any non-guitarist will know, finding a convincing virtual guitar sound is no easy task for a bedroom producer. We can’t always draft in a guitarist, and samples are no good if we need to record a specific/unique part or line. I should say that guitar VSTs have come a long way; UJAM has turned the Virtual…

The strongest producer in the room isn’t the one who speaks the most — it’s the one who listens, pauses, and guides without ego. True mastery in the studio isn’t just technical. It’s emotional balance. When tension rises, feedback clashes, or creative opinions collide — your power lies not in reacting, but in remaining still. The Middle Path: Balancing Two Extremes When Mixing Music ☯️ 🧠 The Core Idea: Calm Is Strength In Buddhism, calmness isn’t weakness — it’s wisdom in motion. The Buddha called it “The Middle Way,” a state between attachment and avoidance. In music production, that…
