Push and Groove has released RMS LEVEL LIMITER, a free stereo dynamics plugin for Windows and macOS. We have featured a couple of Takahiro Oishi’s previous releases on BPB, including the free Filtronix filter plugin and the more recent GROOVE60 MIDI timing processor. RMS LEVEL LIMITER is a different kind of tool. Instead of working like a standard peak limiter that reacts to individual transients, it follows average signal energy using an RMS-based detector. In practice, that means the gain reduction should move with the body of the sound rather than chasing every short peak. It is designed for smoother…

Silverdaw is a free and open-source Windows DAW built for remixing, mashups, and sample-based music production. The developer sent this to me via email, and I wasn’t expecting a lot (new free DAWs are popping up like mushrooms nowadays), but I ended up impressed. The key thing here is that Silverdaw is not trying to be another full studio DAW that competes directly with Ableton Live, FL Studio, Cubase, or similar tools. It is aimed more at bedroom producers, DJs, and remixers who want to start with existing audio and quickly reshape it into something new. The workflow is pretty interesting.…

Different Instruments has released PartialString, a free cross-platform synth that takes a less traditional approach to physical modeling. PartialString is available in AU and VST3 formats for macOS (10.13 or later), Windows (10 or later), and Linux. Developer Christian Baker of Different Instruments began working on PartialString as a side project after the release of GoStringSynth back in 2022 (available via GitHub). Four years later, we have PartialString v1.0.1. The less traditional approach I mentioned is that PartialString uses the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method to simulate the vibration of a plucked string. We’re probably more used to hearing about the…

Completion Changes You  “Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.”— Vincent van Gogh Every finished song changes you. Not because it’s perfect. Because it teaches you something the unfinished songs never can. A finished song forces you to make decisions. To solve problems. To stop adjusting. To let go. And every time you do that… You become a different producer.   Quick Summary 👉 You become a better music producer by completing songs, not by endlessly collecting tools or information. Every finished project teaches you how to arrange, edit, mix, solve problems, make decisions, and…

There’s a feeling that every guitar player knows. You hit a chord, and something pushes back. It’s not just volume or tone. It’s air moving. Subtle harmonics and feedback.

And our lineup of UAFX amp and cab emulator pedals are built to give you these inspiring moments on stage, in the studio, and anywhere in between.    Today, sessions happen anywhere.

Developer Morphoice has released EightyTen, consisting of two vintage Roland synths in one (free beta). Morphoice is back with another vintage synth emulation, and we all know the drill by now. In a relatively short time, Morphoice has released emulations of the Yamaha CS-80 (Unstable), the Roland Juno-6 (EightySix), and the Roland Jupiter-8 (EightyEight). EightyTen is the latest addition to that list, and it follows the same process as previous releases: it’s an early beta that may stop working if future versions become paid. Although you can download it for free, any contributions of $10 or more will earn you…

Dirk Ulrich has reacquired Plugin Alliance and Brainworx from inMusic. Well, it’s that time again; it’s time for another chapter in the Native Instruments story. With no more obvious moving parts left, I’m fairly confident that this chapter will be the last, but I never thought they’d make eleven Fast & Furious movies, so who knows. Anyway, this time, we’re talking about Brainworx and Plugin Alliance, two brands that are now back in the hands of their previous owner and founder, Dirk Ulrich. Who is Dirk Ulrich? As I just mentioned, and as many of you will already know, Dirk…

Developer Sonuscore has released Elysion Elements, a free hybrid synth library for Kontakt Player. Sonuscore has been a regular source of free cinematic and orchestral sounds over the years, and now we can add Elysion Elements to the mix. Another plus point for these libraries is that they are compatible with the free Kontakt Player. Elysion Elements is the free version of the premium Elysion 2, which is currently available for £89, which is less than half price (offer valid via Sonuscore at the time of writing – July 16, 2026). The hybrid nature of the library comes from “synthetic…
