Cr8ive Audio is offering The Util for free (normally $9). It’s a utility plugin that brings gain compensation, stereo width control, phase inversion, panning, and bass mono compatibility into a single interface. If you work with wide synthesized bass patches, you’ve probably run into the problem of having a sound that’s both very bassy and very wide at the same time. These patches sound fantastic, but sometimes getting them to play nicely in your mix can feel like a fantasy. There are ways around this, though, and making the sub-frequency content mono is a common fix. That’s where plugins like…

Plugin Boutique is offering Baby Audio’s Parallel Aggressor to BPB readers for just $5 until March 20th. The plugin normally costs $69, so this is a unique opportunity for BPB readers to get it with a huge discount. Use the coupon code bpb-pagg at checkout. Parallel Aggressor is a parallel processing plugin that combines compression and saturation in a streamlined interface. It splits your audio into three parallel signals: Dry (your original signal), Spank (a heavily compressed duplicate), and Heat (a heavily saturated duplicate). You blend all three together to add punch and weight to your tracks. I use parallel…

Hansen Audio’s K-Whooms is a free virtual analog synthesizer available for Windows and Linux. It first appeared in 2024 and was updated in 2025, but we haven’t featured it on BPB until now. I’ve been getting more requests to cover Linux-compatible software on BPB, and K-Whooms somehow flew under my radar. It was mentioned in our community section (thank you, Numanoid!), and after spending some time with it, I think it’s well worth sharing with a wider audience. K-Whooms is a pretty solid subtractive synth that doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel. What it does is cover everything a good…

Audio Assault, the company behind Amp Locker, has been going strong for several years now. In celebration of their 12th year in business, they’re giving away the amp sim Invicto for free for a limited time. Invicto is part of the ReAmp 2 collection inside Amp Locker, based on the Peavy Invective 120, which is an all-tube high-gain amplifier loved by metalheads. Come to think of it, the plugin actually resembles the relatively new Invective MH Mini Head, developed together with Periphery-guitarist and producer Misha Mansoor. Please note that you need Amp Locker to run Invicto. It can be downloaded…

Mike Moreno DSP now offers his LIRA•8 emulation as a free virtual synth, available for macOS, Windows, and Linux in VST3, VST2, AUi, LV2 formats, or as a standalone Pure Data application. At this point, I’d wager most people interested in experimental gear know SOMA Laboratories. They consistently push the envelope in both circuit design, player-instrument interaction, and overall artistic philosophy. Their Lyra-8 touch-based synthesizer is a deep, complex piece of gear that creates anything from melancholic wails and huge drones with ever-evolving timbral shifts to flat-out sonic mayhem. LIRA•8 emulates the 8 tunable oscillators (triggered by mouse click or…

iZotope Japan is giving away Neutron 5 Elements for free as part of a large freebie bundle that includes 45 plugins and the Luna DAW. The offer runs until March 17th, 2026. Neutron 5 Elements normally costs $55, so this is a pretty sweet deal. Most of the other stuff in the bundle was either free at some point or is permanent freeware, but it’s still nice to get such an all-in-one package, especially if you’re still building your virtual studio. To get Neutron 5 Elements, you sign up with your email address on the iZotope Japan page. After signing…
