Flame Sound has released Free Human Voices, a free collection of non-verbal human character sounds. Upfront disclosure: Flame Sound is my premium sound design label, so this is basically me writing about my own release. 🙂 Human Voices is a new library of 1,400 non-verbal vocal sound effects performed by four professional voice actors (two male, two female). And, of course, there’s also a free version called Free Human Voices that includes 25 sounds from the main collection. Both are available from the Flame Sound Gumroad page. The pack is built for sound design, video games, and animation, but I…

Techivation has released Tilt EQ, a free linear phase tilt equalizer for macOS and Windows. Before we check out the plugin, a quick look at the download process. To get this into your DAW, you’ll need to create a free Techivation account (email and password), which also unlocks the rest of the developer’s freebies in one place. The good news is that Techivation offers a couple of other excellent freebies: the T-De-Esser 2 (one of the best free de-essers, for sure) and the T-Saturator. Those are definitely worth the download, too. Now, the core idea behind Tilt EQ is simple.…

MNTRA has released FLTRS-LE, a free filter plugin based on the Roland Jupiter-6 filter circuit. FLTRS-LE is a trimmed-down version of the developer’s full FLTRS plugin, which costs $49 during the launch sale (regular price $79) and packs 37 analog circuits and experimental physics engines. The filter we get in the freebie is called EUROPA-6, and MNTRA describes it as a full component-level reconstruction of the Jupiter-6 filter module. That includes the OTA gain stages, the SVF topology, component tolerances, and the nonlinearities that give the hardware its character. On top of the original circuit, MNTRA added negative resonance (a…

Wide is a free spatial enhancement tool for macOS and Windows, and the second plugin we’ve featured from Shadaloo Audio DSP over the last month or so. If you missed the first one, go back and check out H, a free tone and loudness enhancer. If you’ve already tried H, you’ll know that it’s straightforward on the surface. Yet, the way its various parameters interact with each other and react to the incoming signal, the plugin provides results that may feel more organic and musical than uniform. Wide is more of the same, in some ways, but it’s even more…

Developer Venus Theory has released forms:tongues, a free tongue drum library for Decent Sampler. This latest release is forms:tongues, a free library based on the tongue drum. The sound of the tongue drum is easily described as tranquil and hypnotic, but it comes from somewhat comical beginnings. The tongue drum is the result of Dennis Havlena cutting into a propane tank, somewhere in the early 2000s. Although the genesis of this modern instrument is somewhat unconventional, there’s no denying that it caters to its target audience perfectly. The tongue drum looks and sounds a little otherworldly, and, in good hands,…

Retro Radio from Stone Voices is a free plugin for macOS and Windows that emulates the sound of vintage AM radios. The sound of AM radio is generally characterised by low fidelity and numerous flaws. But, if there’s one thing that we all share as music makers, it’s that we strive for imperfection! Joking aside, we love the imperfections of past technology for various reasons: it has an authentic warmth that’s often lacking in modern equipment, and it evokes nostalgia. The sound of AM radio certainly evokes nostalgia, even if I didn’t personally experience the golden age of radio. As…

Temecula DSP is offering two classic Alesis reverb unit emulations (MDV-II & MCV-I) for macOS and Windows for free! It was just around a month ago when we covered MDV-II by Temecula DSP. MDV-II is a faithful emulation of the classic Alesis Midiverb II, one of the most iconic budget-friendly pieces of hardware ever made. So, why are we talking about it again? Well, Temecula DSP is now offering two Alesis classics for free: MDV-II and MCV-I. While the Midiverb II is generally the most sought-after model from the Alesis Midiverb and Microverb lineups, the Microverb I (or MCV) has…

Filtre by Cloudy Samples is a contour filter and modulation engine for macOS and Windows, and you can download it for free now. I’m not certain Filtre will always be free, so it’s best to grab it quickly, just in case. In short, Filtre is a hub for shaping sound, creating texture, and adding movement. The plugin (AU and VST3 formats for macOS and Windows) has two main sections: the contour filter panel and the triple LFO modulation engine. The multi-mode contour filter section offers a pretty hefty sixteen modes, covering most applications. The filter modes include basics like 1-pole…
