You can now get Sonnox’s Voca vocal processor for just $29 (down from $99.99), in a 71% off deal that’s exclusively available at Plugin Boutique.  Voca offers smooth compression, rich saturation, and tone softening, all delivered in a workflow designed for fast and easy operation.  The deal expires on March 22, 2026.

Sirial is a rhythmic serial delay inspired by “tap mode” by the SoundToys EchoBoy. The plugin works on macOS, Windows, and Linux. The developer has already brought us several amazing freeware plugins inspired by paid software, such as FILT-R, which somewhat recreates the Cableguys FilterShaper plugin. Sirial has 16 serial delay lines that allow you to build intricate delay patterns, since each “tap” has its own amplitude and feedback. Additionally, you can apply saturation, diffusion, and damping to the signal, making the echo decay sound realistic and pleasant. The Plugin has an intuitive grid where you configure offset and amplitude for…

A DAW Changes Hands “Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.” — Scott Adams Digital Audio Workstations don’t change overnight. They evolve slowly — version by version. But sometimes something bigger happens. Ownership changes. That’s what just happened to Studio One. The DAW that began at Presonus is now part of the Fender ecosystem. And its new name reflects that shift: Fender Studio Pro   Quick Summary 👉 Fender Studio Pro is the new evolution of Presonus Studio One, developed by the same engineering team and maintaining the same fast drag-and-drop workflow, strong…

The Retromulator controversy and the unwritten rules of open-source audio Earlier this week, discoDSP donated $1,000 to The Usual Suspects, the team behind some of the best free synth emulations out there. The Usual Suspects sent the money back. If you’ve been following the Retromulator situation on KVR, GearSpace, or in BPB comments, you probably already have some opinions. But I think there’s more to this story than the comments and forum threads covered, and it’s worth unpacking. I’ll try to explain the situation below as clearly as possible and without taking sides. My goal is not to say who…

Black Octopus Sound is offering BPB readers an exclusive 83% discount on the Leviathan Anthology Bundle I-IV. Leviathan Anthology Bundle I-IV normally costs $299 and is available for $49.99 with the coupon code BPDLevAnthology49 until April 10th. This is a big one! The bundle brings together all four volumes of the Leviathan series into a single collection with over 20,000 royalty-free samples, 575 Serum presets, and more than 20 GB of content. I’ve been a fan of Black Octopus Sound’s Leviathan lineup for a long time. I first came across their packs almost two decades ago when I was deep…

You can now snap up Relab Development’s LX480 Essentials verb plugin for $29, down from $99, in a 70% off deal at Plugin Boutique.  The deal expires on March 31, 2026.  LX480 Essentials is a 64-bit only release for macOS (VST, VST3, AU, AAX) and Windows (VST, VST3, AAX).  LX480 Essentials offers four reverb sounds based on the most essential presets from the Lexicon 480L.  The Lexicon 480L is a digital reverb and effects hardware unit that debuted in 1986.  It’s a classic known for its lush, spacious reverb that marked a high-water mark for digital reverbs, and helped define…

Evenant is currently offering its Evenant Engine, a cinematic library comprising 50 custom patches, for free as a limited-time offer. I didn’t manage to figure out how long this offer lasts, so my tip would be to get it asap. And please note that running Evenant Engine requires Kontakt by Native Instruments (paid). According to the developer, Evenant Engine is full of “trailer-worthy signature sounds, vast soundscapes, organic pads, earthshaking braams, and powerful synths.” It covers a wide range from acoustic instruments like cellos, flutes, and sitars to more analog and cerebral synth patches. While Evenant Engine seems like a…

InnerMono has released a collection of almost 30 free racks for Ableton Live. Like a hardware FX rack or a software rack that hosts multiple effects in a single plugin, Ableton Live racks provide a streamlined workflow for manipulating multiple effects from a single device (rack). From what I understand, Ableton Live has various rack types, including audio effects, MIDI effects, Instruments, and drums. I’m not an Ableton Live user, so those who are go a bit deeper on racks in the comments. However, I do know that artists and producers often sell signature racks to create another revenue stream.…

Developer Analog Obsession has released LAEA, a free vintage optical compressor emulation. There are a few names in the freeware community whose plugins enter our must-try category by default, and Analog Obsession is one of them. It feels pretty lucky to be talking about another new release just now, since we got RazorClip, a free analog-based clipper plugin, less than a month ago. But here we are with LAEA, an emulation of a rather famous solid-state optical compressor from the late 1960s. If the name hasn’t given it away already, we can look back at a previous Analog Obsession emulation…

Spectaverb is the second plugin by Plea Tech we’re looking at in one day, and it seems just as interesting as the first, Pure Amber. Pure Amber is a spectral shaping and resonance suppressor plugin for Windows, and it’s free for a limited time, so don’t miss it. Spectaverb is also a Windows exclusive, which rules me out, but I’m still excited to share this one because it seems like a small plugin that you could get a lot out of. Spectaverb isn’t a typical reverb plugin; it’s a multi-FX plugin featuring three distinct parallel effect chains. The three effect…
