I liked the DC1A. It adds some nice warmth to the track (as far as I can hear). Did anyone gave a listen to the SonEQ?

Freeware released within the year of 2012. IIRC that one is a little older. It is hard to keep track though. Seems every week someone releases a good freeware plugin :D

IMHO, anything made with Synthmaker or Synthedit needs to be disqualified, as it will be useful to a limited number of people for a limited time. It is also unfair to other developers, who put in the sweat and the toil to learn to code in C++ and actually implement their plugins.

Best car of the year: Porsche X (name it). But it has to be disqualified, as it will be useful to a limited number of people only... :)

The Tokyo Compressor is a great marriage of science and art.

You have got to be shitting me with that one, Right?

So I had to answer other as I really can not just pick one, Also as GaryG above mentioned Magware has been just superb also. Making it even more difficult to chose any single plug for me

Thank you to each and every developer of all the freeware plugin processors, effects, tools and utilities, Its been a superb year and your time and effort are so very much appreciated. All the best :tu:

Only things developed in assembly language should be listed.

Nope. If it wasn't hand coded in machine code then it should be disqualified.

For me, Sleepy-time records, VladG, and Variety of Sound have released so many good stuff this year. It's just incredible. And yeah, Tokyo Dawn compressor. Good times. :D
