Blue Cat Audio

There is a free Plug in pack, with some hand features. My favourite of the lot is

FreqAnalyst



but there are a few more handy one here

Quite a few good pay for plugins, but also 2 freebiees

Rough Rider




Rough Rider is a modern compressor with a bit of "vintage" style bite and a uniquely warm sound. Perfect for adding compression effects to your drum buss, it also sounds great with synth bass, clean guitar, and backing vocals. Definitely not an all-purpose compressor, Rough Rider is at its best when used to add pump to rhythmic tracks. Of course, you can use it however you'd like. The Compressor Police aren't gonna come to your house and give you a citation. Slap it on a track and crank some knobs.


FuzzPlus 2.2



FuzzPlus2.2 is the current version of our popular free Fuzz+ plug-in. The basis of the plug-in is a transform model of a famous vintage fuzz pedal. There are four controls:

Fuzz knob: This controls, as you might imagine, exactly how much fuzz is applied to the signal.

Tone knob: This controls the brightness of the distorted signal.

Output knob: This is the output volume of the device, when it is active.

Bypass button: This works just like the switch on a stomp box. When the orange light is lit, you're money. When it's not, the input is passed directly to the output. This can be automated for a slightly different vibe than automating the effect bypass of your host.

FuzzPlus2.2 is available as a VST effect for Windows, and an AU or VST for OSX. The OSX versions are Universal Binaries, and require OSX
10.3.9 or later for PPC Macs or 10.4.4u or later for Intel Macs.

KickMaker



KickMaker is a drum synth specifically designed to generate bass and kick drum sounds.
Features:
Four oscillator synthesis, with each oscillator being independently tuned in the range of 20Hz - 125Hz.
ADSR envelopes provided for each oscillator (with visual feedback), as well as a global ADSR curve.
Fine-tuning of oscillators allow for adjustment of frequencies within 0.1Hz.
Mixer for oscillators provides easy way of controlling the presence of each wave.
Per-oscillator white-noise generator.
Per-oscillator phase control.
"Frequency Expander" effect available for each oscillator. This effect will start the oscillator at a higher frequency and drop the frequency to the originally tuned value. The end result creates a realistic "smack" noise that can be used to generate a wide range of kicks.
Compression effect with variable attack, release, threshold, and ratio parameters.
Convenient preset manager allows for one-click saving and deletion of presets, as well as scrolling through preset banks.
Quick on-screen help reference.
