Vocal Gate is a free, open-source AI noise gate plugin that separates clean speech from unwanted microphone artifacts like coughs, sneezes, keyboard clicks, and heavy breathing. It’s available for macOS, Windows, and Linux. The concept reminds me a little of Goyo Voice Separator, which was free for a limited time a few years ago. Goyo let you tweak the levels of voice, ambience, and reverb individually, giving you more control over the separation. Vocal Gate is kinda similar, but it takes a simpler approach. It works more like an enhanced gate, trained specifically to recognize speech and duck everything else.…

Dusk Audio has released Chord Analyzer, a free MIDI chord detection and music theory analysis plugin for Windows, macOS, and Linux. We’ve covered a few Dusk Audio releases recently, including DuskVerb and the 4K EQ, MultiComp, and Tape Machine trio. Chord Analyzer is a different kind of tool. Instead of processing audio, it reads incoming MIDI and tells you what chord you’re playing in real time. If you’re still learning music theory (I also have a tutorial for that) or just want a quick reference while writing, this is a neat little plugin to have sitting in your DAW. You…

The Studio Inside Your Computer “The tools change. The process stays the same.” Before computers, music was made in studios filled with gear. Big mixing consoles. Tape machines. Racks of equipment.

And why you should be using it in your music productions, no matter the genre. I’ve always wondered why dialing low end can be so tricky. Add too much bass to a track, the overall mix loses clarity. Too little, and it can feel thin and lifeless. The Little Labs Voice of God (or “VOG”) wasn’t designed to solve these specific problems, but it has become a go-to secret weapon for producers looking to strike that perfect balance. I wanted to understand what makes this little black box so special, and why top engineers swear by it. What I’ve learned?…

Tuva is a standalone desktop application that helps music producers organize, classify, and search their audio samples, MIDI files, and DAW project files from a single interface. My sample and loop content gets scattered across hard drives, so any help with organizing this stuff is welcome. If, like me, you’ve accumulated tens of thousands of files over the years (downloaded sample packs, old project files, MIDI sketches saved for later), you know how quickly your impromptu folder structures can stop being useful. Tuva replaces the classic folder-based organization workflow with a library that you can filter, tag, and search. The app…

Developer Urban Kits has released Plural, which is a free pitch-shifting sequencer plugin for macOS and Windows. Urban Kits is known to provide tools and sounds that help musicians create music from the ground up. What I mean is that Urban Kits offers products with no barriers to entry; they are free, easy to use, and typically very well-suited to bedroom producers and beatmakers. In late 2025, Urban Kits released Bedroom Guitar, a free sampled nylon guitar plugin that works well for pop, lo-fi, hip-hop, ambient music, and more. The developer’s latest release is Plural, a free pitch-shifting sequencer, available…
