Stagecraft Software is giving away 3,000 free copies of Parity EQ, a powerful equalizer plugin typically priced at $75, exclusively to Bedroom Producers Blog readers. Parity EQ isn’t your average EQ.

Saint Mike DSP has released Ceiling Fan, a FREE (limited-time offer) clipper/limiter plugin for macOS and Windows. I believe the Ceiling Fan from Saint Mike DSP was released a couple of weeks ago, but I missed it on release, and I thought I’d share the news for anyone else who hasn’t checked it out yet. The downside is that I might have to wait a while before putting the Ceiling Fan to work, as I’m still waiting for my download email. To download the plugin, which is free for a limited time (no end date is specified), you have to…
Developer Higher Plane has released SpaceWalk, a free ambient chord progression generator for macOS and Windows. Chord progression generators often divide opinion, and the debate generally creates two camps: those who think you must fill every bar with complexity to ensure your music is as esoteric as possible, and those who consider music theory to be a waste of time and effort. Neither musical snobbery nor closing technical doors is beneficial for any musician, yet we still miss so much common ground in between. I studied music theory; I geek out on it, but some of my favorite musicians barely…

We’ve covered several of DAWJunkie’s releases here at BPB before, and now they’re back with a new freebie for a limited time: Slurpy Jr. Stereo Phase Synth for macOS and Windows in VST and AU formats. First off, I’ll go out on a limb and say that the name “Slurpy Jr.” might be a tad polarizing, depending on your taste. I personally appreciate off-kilter humor, so it didn’t scare me away. The uncanny ’90s design of DAWJunkie was initially a bigger turn-off, but the sound and concept intrigued me nonetheless, which is always the most important thing. I bet “slurpy”…
Ocean Swift releases Sample Tester, a FREE sampling tool for Native Instruments Kontakt Player. Ocean Swift’s Sample Tester might be the most aptly-named release we’ve ever come across for Kontakt Player. Although it’s an incredibly easy-to-use tool, there’s more to Sample Tester than sample playback, of course. It provides a fast and straightforward way to hear and play samples polyphonically across the keyboard. You can drag and drop samples straight into the testing tool, and Sample Tester will immediately provide MIR data (Music Information Retrieval), including pitch, tune fix, peak, RMS, and loudness values. The pitch value represents the fundamental…
