GVST has released a set of three free VST effects for Windows - GComp Compressor, GGate Gate and GRevDly Delay.
GComp
GComp is a compressor designed for general mixing duties, i.e. it aims to transparently level-out the incoming signal to fit better into a mix. The GUI features a waveform display to show what is happening to the signal and to aid the configuration process. It can be used in mono or stereo configurations, with the GUI adapting accordingly.
This plug-in introduces a small delay, and so is best used in hosts featuring PDC (Plug-in Delay Compensation).
GGate
GGate is a very simple gate effect for silencing a signal when it drops below a given threshold. You can set the 'fade', which is the amount of time taken to mute the signal, and the 'attack', which is the time taken to unmute the signal.
This plug-in introduces a small delay, and so is best used in hosts featuring PDC (Plug-in Delay Compensation).
GRevDly
GRevDly is a simple delay effect that plays the delayed signal in reverse, enveloped to avoid clicks.
