If you're looking for micropitch shifting/detuning ala Waves Doubler, the Schwa CMX is good and on the inexpensive side.
Cytomic the glue vs waves ssl mod#
Because it's so easy, I get a lot of things I might not necessarily come up with if I had to spend time drawing DAW automation, or routing mod matrix stuff. Granular plugins have been done many, many times before, but the thing that makes Granite cool is the ability to quickly record knob movements for virtually every parameter. It's free and worth spending some time playing around with it to see if you get along with the slightly strange interface. Klanghelm has two free plugins: DC1A compressor and IVGI saturation as well as his inexpensive and awesome DC8C compressor.Īll the Valhalla stuff has been buy on sight for me.Īnother sound design focused plug is DtBlkFx. I've also been really happy so far with Cytomic's The Drop for filtering (it also can do really interesting combination filtering/compression patches) Fiddling around with it on virtually any source material gives you worlds of digital weirdness. Permut8 is worth checking out for sound design. Here are a couple of the ones I think have been interesting lately: Really, there's so much cool stuff out there for inexpensive prices and with less restrictive licensing that it's really hard for me to get excited about bundles of Waves' older stuff.Īre there any Waves plugins in particular that you're interested in alternatives to? Mac or PC? the EQ is great and has an amazing UI and the modulation stuff in volcan and timeless are unique. Valhalla DSP for your reverbs and modulation delaysįabfilter is stuff i use in every mix and in every audiomulch patch i make. Little endian - spectrumworx - excellent for sound design Ohmforce - ohmboyz delay is god, ohmicide for disortion. U-he - lot's of good stuff and cool things coming soon too. GRM tools (recently dropped iLok but no details yet) There's a lot of other cool stuff out these days though. a lot of their stuff is redundant though.
