    I think some of these plugins are good enough that you never need to upgrade to a paid version. I've been experimenting with the Analog Obsession plugins lately and to me, they seem pro in their sound quality, even if their graphic interfaces aren't as fancy. People listening to the final mix of the song probably won't know that you didn't have a graphic of tape reels spinning on your tape plugin. 😄

    I often get the paid versions of things out of appreciation, for example the Tokyo Dawn Labs plugins, but find myself reaching for the free versions because the most useful settings and features are often in the free version, and sometimes the GUI is simpler giving me some constraint so I don't go down some rabbit hole trying every button and knob and realize I'm still tweaking the snare!

    • @AudioTechTV

      I was going to add MAutoPitch. I don’t remember why I chose not to. I think it’s because the big red bar in the melda stuff always makes me feel like I shouldn’t be using the free versions of their plugins. I agree it works great just doesn’t feel welcoming to me.

      It is on their site. V3 plugins are legacy plugins so it's in the legacy download section. More info on exactly how to get it in this video ua-cam.com/video/5fffEP5-N5o/v-deo.html
      That song is called "Oh Vecna" It's from my band Silver Rocket Surfers (I say band but it's just me).

    • @AudioTechTV
      @AudioTechTV  4 місяці тому +1

      Kick2 is pretty unique in its approach. You can do similar things with a sampler and grabbing some good quality kick samples. Your DAW might come with a sampler. You can also try the Grace sampler (it’s free) or the older version of Sitala is still free.
      Another option you might want to try is using the free MPC Beats to design your kicks and drum sounds. There are some excellent tools in there.
