Elementary Sounds has released TSUD, a free sample-based kalimba instrument for macOS and Windows. This is Elementary Sounds’ first free release and their first new product after roughly a year of silence. I was a bit surprised I hadn’t heard of them before, since their paid stuff looks pretty cool. They have a handful of paid instruments on their website, including a vibraphone, an old acoustic piano, and a Fender Rhodes. What I love about developers like Elementary Sounds is that they don’t sample the obvious stuff that’s been done a billion times. It’s awesome that they go for instruments…

You’ll hear violin in various pieces, ranging from classical to pop tracks. This is why the violin has a special place in music.If you’re learning the violin, starting with timeless pieces is a smart move. Such pieces help you form solid skills while also getting that beautiful sound. And there’s the best part. You don’t need a top-tier or an expensive instrument to begin.

How?…

United Plugins has launched the UnitedFreeBundle, a collection of professional audio plugins, and it’s free! The one caveat with the free collection is that the plugins feature an ad banner that displays United Plugins deals or products. The advertisements don’t restrict your view of any plugin or its controls. I know we see ads everywhere, and ideally, our DAW would be an ad-free zone, but it’s better than demo versions with time limits or intrusive noise. These plugins are fully functional, and if the ads are too distracting, you can pay £43 for the ad-free bundle (92% off the combined…

Access vs Ownership “The beginner collects tools. The professional chooses them.” Plugin subscriptions are everywhere now. Instead of buying one plugin at a time, you get access to entire ecosystems.

But they approach things differently.   Quick Summary 👉 Plugin Alliance and UAD both offer subscription bundles that give access to high-end audio plugins. Plugin Alliance focuses on a wide range of third-party-style tools, while UAD focuses on premium analog emulations. Subscriptions are ideal for beginners; ownership becomes more important over…

Okay Synthesizer has released Okay Distortion, a free distortion plugin with six layered engines in a single reorderable signal chain. I’m all for fun and creative distortion plugins (check out our free BPB Dirty Filter if you like this kind of stuff), so I’m always looking forward to testing another one. The cool thing here is that this one wasn’t even planned as a standalone product originally. The distortion engine was built inside Okay Synthesizer’s Bingo Drum Machine, where it apparently became one of the most talked-about features. Thankfully, the developer eventually pulled it out, gave it its own signal…

Many people consider 8DIO to be the masters of deep sampling, and that reputation has led to collaborations with iconic manufacturers like Sequential (Prophet X). Now, you can get Synthetic Shadows, their cinematic synth orchestra for Kontakt, for free for a limited time. The downside of that stellar reputation, for the average bedroom producer, is that 8DIO products can be relatively pricey, and we don’t often come across many freebies. With that in mind, picking up Synthetic Shadows (usually $39) for free is a nice treat, especially for media composers. Synthetic Shadows is a Kontakt library that requires the full/paid…

Softube’s Model 82 Sequencing Mono Synth is currently 70% off at Plugin Boutique, which brings the price down from $99 to $29 until April 19th. We actually have two excellent deals in this article, but let’s take a look at Softube’s acid monster first. Softube Model 82 Model 82 is Softube’s take on the Roland SH-101, the iconic mono synth that went from commercial flop to defining the sound of acid house and many other styles of electronic music. The original was always a bit plasticky, but its nose-diving secondhand price during the late ’80s put it in the hands…
