Baby Audio TAIP – $9.99
TAIP is Baby Audio’s AI-powered tape emulator, and at this price, it’s an absolute must-have if you want saturation with character.
I’ve always liked how Baby Audio approached tape saturation with this one. It lets you move from subtle tape glue to full-on distortion just by leaning into the Drive, Glue, and Wear controls. The workflow is less technical and more production-oriented.
The Lo/Hi shaping is super useful for getting saturation that doesn’t wreck your low end. TAIP gives you that vintage weight for warming up drums and other sounds, but feels more intuitive than most other tape saturators I’ve tested.
That said, if you like intuitive saturation, check out our free BPB Saturator Plus.
Future Audio Workshop SubLab – $10
SubLab has been one of my go-to tools for crafting heavy 808s since the day it launched, and grabbing it for ten bucks is easily one of the standout Black Friday deals this year.
It’s built specifically for hip-hop, trap, drill, and modern bass-focused production. And yeah, layering 808s isn’t exactly rocket science, but the whole workflow here pushes you towards getting good-sounding results super fast.
If you’ve ever struggled to get your low end consistent across different speakers, this one solves that problem better than most.
I love the triple-engine design, which includes a synth section, a sample layer, and the X-Sub oscillator working together. X-Sub is a psychoacoustic sub-bass oscillator that locks your bass notes into a stable, consistent range, so your low end behaves even when the rest of the mix shifts.
You also get six Bass Packs plus hundreds of kick and transient samples captured from analog drum machines and modular gear. There’s a big selection of modern 808 styles, from clean subs to distorted trap basses and smooth R&B lows.
UJAM Virtual Pianist VOGUE – $9
Virtual Pianist VOGUE is designed for “big stage” pop piano parts. It delivers polished grand piano performances without actually needing you to play anything complex.
This probably won’t be interesting to the piano virtuosos among us, but for people with two left hands (like me), this feels like having a pianist in your studio.
The built-in phrases, fills, and style variations make it great for instant songwriting. If you prefer playing, the instrument mode offers a clean and modern grand sound. It’s a bright, mix-ready piano that fits dance, pop, and R&B especially well.
For nine bucks, it’s an incredible value if you need a solid piano instrument.
UJAM Virtual Drummer HOT – $9
Virtual Drummer HOT focuses on modern chart-style drums. You get a bunch of punchy, heavily processed kits with lots of energy.
The “Juice” control is HOT’s standout feature. It morphs between natural drums and tight, sample-style hits.
I’m more of a “build your own drum kit” kind of producer, but this one is perfect for pop, rap, and electronic music that need instant drum sounds. You get tons of patterns, lots of mix presets, and a super simple workflow.
United Plugins Pluralis – $8
Pluralis is one of the more creative delays out there. Its signal-splitting modes (Mid/Side, Left/Right, Quiet/Loud, Low/High) let you apply different delay settings to different parts of the signal.
You can go from subtle widening to insane experimental textures quickly. If you want a delay that feels more like a sound-design tool, Pluralis is a fun one to grab, especially at this price.
And it’s fun that you can pair it with the UAD Tape Echo for free, so you basically get two delays for the price of one.
MeldaProduction Rewind – $9
Rewind is a granular and reverse-loop instrument with 128 sound sources and a handy little FX chain.
It’s pretty cool if you’re looking for an instrument that feels a bit out of the ordinary. It shines at dreamy pads, reversed plucks, and atmospheric cinematic textures.
I really like the tape-loop section, too. It gives you classic reverse-tape movement without the hassle of printing and then reversing audio. It’s great if you want something atmospheric and somewhat left-field.
Beatskillz AK9X – $9
AK9X is a vintage sampler-style processor that focuses on recreating classic 12-bit grit. So instead of loading the sounds in a vintage sampler, you use this effect to get a similar drive.
You can drive the preamp, reduce audio bandwidth, flip stereo to mono, and dial in crunchy old-school textures instantly. It’s solid for emulating the sounds in early hip-hop, house, and lofi vibes.
It doesn’t sound identical to those legendary samplers, but I feel it gets pretty close.
AudioThing Things – Motor – $9
Motor is a quirky sound-chopping and morphing effect inspired by historical BBC Radiophonic tools. It uses a sidechain-based rotor concept to blend two signals with modulation, vibrato, and panning.
As you’ve probably already seen me say, I’m a big fan of AudioThing’s Motor series because you get these specialized tools that bring something different to your arsenal.
This one is great for rhythmic movement or granular-ish textures. I also like it for adding mechanical wobble to otherwise static sources.
510k SEQUND Lite – $9
A compact version of SEQUND, this lightweight polyrhythmic sequencer offers gate, pitch, velocity, CC lanes, scale quantization, and pattern switching.
SEQUND Lite is awesome if you like generative patterns, shifting polyrhythms, and fast modulation ideas. It is a surprisingly deep sequencing tool for this price.
TDR Kotelnikov GE – $10
The vanillae TDR Kotelnikov is one of the cleanest, most transparent compressors you can get for free.
But the TDR Kotelnikov GE version is even better. It adds frequency-dependent ratios, high-pass sidechaining, extra quality modes, and advanced stereo linking.
This is the kind of compressor you can safely put on mix buses if you want the highest possible precision without coloring the tone.
Brainworx bx_subsynth – $10
bx_subsynth is a subharmonic generator inspired by the dbx 120XP, but expanded for modern mixes.
I bought this one ages ago and still use it for music production and cinematic sound design. Super simple tool, but does its job amazingly well.
It’s great for restoring missing low end, adding deep sub energy, or even creating dramatic bass effects (which is exactly why I use it for cinematic SFX). It shines on drums, bass, cinematic hits, and thin samples that need body.
Kiive Audio S-Quick Strip – $10
S-Quick Strip is a channel-strip-style plugin with saturation, EQ, compression, a transient shaper, HPF, and mix controls.
This one is super fast to dial in, and great if you want an all-in-one tone-shaping tool for vocals, guitars, or drums.
Brainworx bx_limiter – $10
bx_limiter is a quick and intuitive limiter designed for stems and buses rather than the master chain.
The XL saturation is great for adding punch, and the Channel Link control gives you flexible stereo behavior. It’s super handy for smoothing peaks before your final limiting stage.
Plugin Boutique WaveOSC – $10
WaveOSC is a full wavetable synth with two analog-style oscillators, a wavetable generator, a large modulation system, and nine master FX modules.
The built-in wavetable creator is the coolest part because you can generate new wavetables from the other oscillators instantly.
Mäag Audio EQ2 – $10
Mäag Audio EQ2 gives you the iconic Air Band plus a detailed low-mid bell with tight or wide curves. It’s excellent for brightening vocals, adding clarity to instruments, and shaping low-mid mud.
Loopmasters Bass Master – $10
Bass Master is a dedicated bass synth packed with sampled waveforms, dual layers, envelope shaping, solid filters, and a frequency booster that’s perfect for filling out the low end. Simple but super effective.
I bought this one a few years ago and still use it occasionally when I don’t feel like programming a bass sound from scratch.
Inphonik RX950 – $10
Inphonik RX950 is one of the best S950-style coloration plugins around. Adds 12-bit crunch, adjustable bandwidth, and the S950’s unique low-pass filter.
If you’re into that vintage, gritty sound, this one is fantastic for crunching up lofi drums in your sample-based workflow.
Compatibility Notes
Most plugins here support macOS and Windows in AU and VST/VST3 formats. That said, please check the individual product pages for exact system requirements.
