Updated October 18,2005 - added glitch tech, revisit, and some other stuff
- welcoming new suggestions and fixing other probsBeen punting around on the board here, noticed the huge number of freeware plugins, and thought i would make a list with urls ... to make it easier for people to find them ... sorry, if this concept has been done before, just wanted a 'recent' list
I TRIED (with some success) to have recent/more useful plugins only, and some simple descriptions for the various sites + plugins, TRIED to keep the list short and to the point
So here it is, any glaring exclusions or suggestions for additions/subtractions ?
DAMN - free VST/VST have gotten VERY good in the last few years or so, big thanks to all the DEVS!
And a huge thanks to this site, KVRAUDIO rox
