Free Graphic EQ Plugin From Voxengo
It’s amazing that you can get entire audio recording programs like Audacity and effects plugins like Voxengo’s Marvel GEQ graphic equalizer FREE! When I first started seriously recording in the 90s, everything was hardware and it most definitely wasn’t free:-P.
Anyway, I wanted to share that Voxengo just updated Marvel GEQ to version 1.4. It’s available in VST, AU and AAX formats, so that means it will be almost universally compatible with any DAW (including Reaper) on Windows or Mac.
If you don’t know what “EQ” means or why you’d want one, check out my article What is Equalization, Usually Called EQ?

Pro Tools Effects That Can Be Used In Reaper
Even though Reaper rivals the much more expensive digital audio workstation, Pro Tools, making the leap from Pro Tools to Reaper was not as simple as it might sound. Long-time Pro Tools users often get used to using the proprietary plugins (effects and virtual instruments). Pro Tools used a format called RTAS exclusively for most of its existence. But some plugin providers are now creating VST (Windows) and AU (Mac) versions of their plugins, which is awesome because Reaper uses those formats.
One example of a plugin provider who has done this is AIR Music Technology with their AIR Creative FX Collection. Below is a video from the Reaper Blog reviewing these effects in Reaper:
Glue Effect Of Reverb

Did you get it? Do you want to know more about it? Here’s an article by Audio Fanzine and explains more about this glue effect.
