Here is a list of the best free VSTs available on the web at the moment. While much of the fun comes from discovering new gems yourself, sometimes it is beneficial to skip straight to the good tools. This list should be enough to give you a good start if you are new to production, and perhaps add a refreshing selection of sounds, if you are more established.<\/p>\n

Please note that all of the plugins were free at the time of writing. Some may require an account to be made on the site of download. I am only linking to established sites and have tested all of these, but please ensure your antivirus is up to date!<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A glitch effect that can really spice up your sounds by\u00a0adding glitchy articulations and abstract textures. It works really great on drums and comes packed with some amazing presets which will come as a relief, since the interface sacrifices making immediate sense for looking so damn cool.<\/p>\n

Despite having some pretty expensive limiters in my plugin collection, this is my favourite and my go to. It is a wonderful limiter with a really nice character to it. With two main controls, it is easy to use, but the additional options offered provide an abundance of creative potential. The plugin also offers different quality modes, which are great for low CPUs, but also proving extreme quality on the final render if set to do so.<\/p>\n

Tritik have made an outstanding free Bitcrusher effect which provides way more than it’s competitors do. It has seen numerous uses since I’ve downloaded it and I highly recommend it to everyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To save listing each plugin under a different header, I’m going to combine the ReaPlugs effects into one. These are the stock plugins built into Reaper, which Cockos are giving away for free to users of any DAW. The effects are really high-quality (if you can get over their back-to-basics skin) and are really handy tools for production. My favourites out of the bundle are:<\/p>\n
