From developer Subhankarda comes De-Esser NXT, a native Windows 11 VST3 plugin that aims to remove sibilance, leaving you with the cleanest audio possible. The developer chose to make De-Esser-NXT a Windows 11 exclusive to take advantage of the operating system’s enhanced audio infrastructure. As such, you can also choose your driver mode from WASAPI Shared, WASAPI Exclusive, WaveRT, and ASIO. Any Mac users who feel like they are missing out will be glad to hear that the previously Windows-exclusive fy_nicetape is now available for macOS, which is awesome news. If you’re looking for a cross-platform de-esser, check out GARUC…
What if the biggest barrier between your demo and a Spotify hit wasn’t your budget, but your production process?It’s a real fear for any artist. You’ve poured your soul into a song, and the thought of it ending up as a generic, “cookie-cutter” track after spending your money is crushing. You worry about losing creative control to a remote team that just doesn’t get your unique vision. This guide will show you how to transform those raw musical ideas into a professional, release-ready master. We’ll break down the exact process Supreme Tracks has used to deliver over 4,500 major-label quality…
When Digital Sound Had Teeth Before soft synths. Before endless presets. Before “vintage mode” buttons. There was wavetable synthesis — cold, metallic, alive. And at the center of that story sits the Waldorf Microwave and its bright-orange descendant, the Microwave XT. These weren’t polite synths. They didn’t blend in. They cut through. Quick Summary 👉 The Waldorf Microwave and Microwave XT are classic wavetable synthesizers descended from the legendary PPG Wave. They combine digital oscillators with analog-style filtering to create evolving, aggressive, and expressive sounds. Check out the plugin VST version of the Waldoef Microwave here. Wavetable Synthesis —…
fy_niceworld releases fy_nicetape (beta), a FREE tape deck/delay and reverb plugin for Windows. fy_nicetape is a new plugin that brings a classic lo-fi vibe to your drums, keys, and synths. The plugin comes from fy_niceworld and is now available for free. There’s no tedious download process, no hoops to jump through, and you don’t even need to provide an email address (unless you want to stay up to date with future developments, which is a good enough reason). fy_nicetape is available in VST3 format for Windows. The plugin has three distinct sections: fy_tapedeck, fy_delay, and fy_reverb. We have no shortage…
Atlas DSP is giving away its DI KEN plugin for free for a limited time. It normally costs 29.99 euros. To get it for free, you can sign up with your email and first name on the Atlas DSP website. DI KEN is a stompbox-style effect that combines overdrive, pitch shifting, and a noise gate into a single plugin. We have a gazillion free overdrives to choose from, but this one also lets you change the pitch, which is a pretty cool add-on for sound design. The plugin uses a symmetrical clipping overdrive circuit with Gain, Tone, and Level controls.…
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…

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…
