When it comes to installing various freeware utilities, many different trends have been coming and going. This year, vintage is what everybody is looking for in their utilities. Multiple plug in tracks and set ups that remind us of years past in EQ technology are becoming center stage. Personalizing your board is also a high priority in the making of the utilities.
Key Takeaways:
- The message this year with freeware, is quite definitely vintage.
- If you have a stack of similar outboard plug-ins that perform a same-ish but subtly different task, then Contra could be the plug-in that helps you stop the endless faffing that goes with the territory of multi-plug-in auditioning.
- Metering is important, and if your setup is multi-channel, the TB Pro Audio DPMeter II – Multichannel Meter offers you a great way to keep tabs on your various signals.
“The metering features in your DAW may not be the best or the most accurate, but Vintage Meter can have its VU level set from -20 to +3 or a wider -40 to +6 (or click a PPM pseudo-peak option), plus you can adjust sensitivity of the meters.”
