Hell Yes Loop Lab HYLL PressureHYLL Pressure is a free / pay-what-you-want soft clipper and peak-shaping audio plugin by Hell Yes Loop Lab. It is designed for producers, beatmakers, musicians and sound designers who want a simple way to shape peaks, add density, saturation and controlled loudness without turning the process into a complex technical mixing session. HYLL Pressure can move from clean peak control to more obvious saturation and pressure, making it useful on drums, synths, bass, loops, mix bus material and creative sound design. The plugin includes a parallel blend control, allowing you to push the processed signal hard and then mix it back with the original sound. This makes it easier to add pressure, density and character while keeping some of the natural dynamics and clarity of the source. Features: - Soft clipping and peak shaping - Density and saturation control - Parallel blend between dry and processed signal - Simple, direct interface - Useful on drums, bass, synths, loops and mix bus material - Designed for music production, beatmaking, mixing and creative sound design - Free / pay-what-you-want. Formats: - macOS: AU - Windows: VST3. HYLL Pressure is available from the official Hell Yes Loop Lab website. Read More

M Media Audio Violet CrownViolet Crown is a heavy-iron buss stereo channel strip built to do what expensive rack hardware does on a mix bus: nicely squish the dynamics together, add presence to the top end, and make the whole thing feel bigger and completely glued together. It combines a three-band parametric EQ with a custom RMS compressor engineered specifically for bus work but does extremely well in other areas, drums, bass, etc... a little goes a very long way. Six filters, one bus compressor, zero dollars. Three independent EQ bands, custom RMS compression, analog-style VU metering, and no attacks on your wallet. The compressor uses a 10ms RMS detector per channel - the same approach that defines the sound of classic British and American bus compressors. RMS detection responds to the energy of the program, not the instantaneous peak, which means it catches the body of a mix rather than just the loudest transients. The result is compression that feels solid and deep. The release section includes a full auto-release mode, engaged by turning the Release knob fully to the left. In auto mode, the release adapts continuously - pulling back quickly when the compressor is working hard, then settling into a slow, transparent recovery as gain reduction lightens. Set it and it sounds right immediately. The EQ offers six independent filters across three bands. Low Boost and Low Cut are separate shelf filters with independent frequency selectors. Mid Boost and Mid Cut are independent peak filters sharing a Q control. The high band extends from 800 Hz to 16 kHz for the boost shelf, with a separate cut filter for high-end control. EQ and compressor can be routed in either order - honestly, I'm still experimenting... Dual VU meters with 300ms ballistic RMS response show output level independently on L and R. No activation. No account. No internet connection. Free forever. Enjoy. Cheers! :D. Features Three-band parametric EQ with independent boost and cut filters per band. Six EQ filters total: 2 low shelves, 2 mid peaks, 2 high shelves. Low band: 20 / 40 / 60 / 80 / 100 Hz. Mid Boost: 200 / 400 / 700 / 1.5k / 3k / 5k Hz. Mid Cut: 300 / 400 / 500 / 700 Hz. High band: 800 Hz to 16 kHz. Shared Q control per band: 0.6 / 0.8 / 1.0 / 1.4 / 1.7. Custom RMS bus compressor - per-channel independent processing. Threshold: -60 dB to 0 dB, default 0 dB. Ratio: 1.5:1 to 8:1 (Harder/Softer knob). Attack: 1 ms to 200 ms. Program-dependent auto-release (fully left) - fast under heavy gain reduction, slow when barely touching. Fixed release: 50 ms to 2000 ms. Makeup Gain: -10 dB to +10 dB, 0 dB at 12 o'clock, double-click to reset. EQ-first or Comp-first routing toggle. Input level trim: -8 dB to +8 dB. Dual VU meters, 300 ms ballistic RMS, independent L/R. Hardware bypass switch. Resizable UI (1000x373 to 2000x745). No activation, no internet, no telemetry. Free. Free. Freeeeeeeeee. System Requirements Windows: Windows 10 / 11, 64-bit. macOS: macOS 11 Big Sur or later, 64-bit (Apple Silicon + Intel universal binary). Linux: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS or equivalent, 64-bit.

Eventide H9 Harmonizer Gen 2 The H9 Harmonizer Gen 2 updates Eventide's single-processor multi-effects pedal with a modern ARM platform, the complete H90 algorithm library, and a redesigned interface that no longer requires a companion app for navigation. Where the original H9 Max topped out at its own algorithm set, the Gen 2 opens access to 74+ algorithms drawn from both the H90 and H9 Max libraries, covering granular, harmonizer and vocal, delay, reverb, modulation, multi-FX, distortion, synth, looper, and utility categories. The over-1,000 preset count reflects that expanded range. Eventide states that new algorithms will continue to be added via updates. The polyphonic pitch shifting side of the pedal runs on Eventide's SIFT technology, which powers four algorithms: Polysynth, Polyphony, Polyflex, and Prism Shift. SIFT (Spectral Instantaneous Frequency Tracking) is Eventide's approach to polyphonic detection and shifting without the pitch-correction artifacts that appear when standard monophonic algorithms encounter chords. Those four algorithms were previously exclusive to the H90, making their presence here one of the more concrete hardware-tier gains for H9 users considering an upgrade. The granular category brings Cosmic Web, Glitch, GrainMod, and Stutter to the platform, the same set Eventide released as free updates for H90 owners in late 2025. Cosmic Web layers reverse-pitched grains against reverb; Glitch offers three distinct distort-and-reconstruct types that can stack; GrainMod runs three independent LFOs targeting Trigger Rate, Grain Duration, and Filter; and Stutter handles burst patterns with adjustable timing and subdivision. On the hardware side, the Gen 2 adds a 2.5" display, button pads, and Quick Knobs, and organizes operation into Select, Bank, and Perform Modes. The intent is a pedal that can be navigated and programmed on the floor without the H9 Control app, which was effectively required on the original for anything beyond basic preset browsing. Connectivity includes USB-C, MIDI, aux switch, and expression pedal inputs. Bluetooth is listed as coming in a future update. The pedal handles both instrument and line-level I/O, includes effects spillover, and has a built-in tuner. The Harmonizer+ Vocal Suite is also on board, though full functionality requires pairing with Eventide's Mixing Link interface, which is sold separately. Features 74+ algorithms including the full H90 and H9 Max libraries across granular, harmonizer, delay, reverb, modulation, multi-FX, distortion, synth, looper, and utility categories. 1,000+ presets; new algorithms added via updates. SIFT polyphonic pitch shifting powering Polysynth, Polyphony, Polyflex, and Prism Shift. Four granular algorithms: Cosmic Web, Glitch, GrainMod, Stutter. Harmonizer+ Vocal Suite (Mixing Link required, sold separately). Redesigned interface: 2.5" display, button pads, Quick Knobs; Select, Bank, and Perform Modes. No companion app required for operation. USB-C, MIDI, aux switch, and expression pedal inputs. Bluetooth (coming soon via firmware update). Instrument and line-level I/O, effects spillover, built-in tuner. Modern ARM processing. Read More
