Which can be good or bad, in, let's say, your mastering chain. But it keeps that "different" compression sound that ReaComp has. So yeah, it's a decent sounding multiband compressor. Pro-MB (Multiband Compressor) edit Best sounding and responsive multiband compressor I've ever used, but: - ReaXcomp is the only free version that I found that's decent. The W1 limiter ( ) is good as well but Loudmax is really all you need for your limiting needs. In fact I'm not sure I'd use the L2 over Loudmax.
LoudMax ( ) Loudmax is on par with the great and underrated, waves L2 limiter. Pro-L 2 (Limiter) I wasn't too impressed with this limiter, it's very very slightly better than Loudmax (free, and described below.) I mean barely better. If you use gates often, get this one as it's more than worth the time to download and install. ReaGate ( ) For whatever reason this gate is sooooooo easy to dial in the right parameters that are needed, even easier than the Fabfilter Pro-G gate. Pro-G (Gate) It's a gate, does its job and is very easy to learn. Mostly though, these presets are a good learning tool on how to properly deess with a multiband compressor. ReaXcomp ( ) and TDR Nova ( ) have some good (hit or miss) presets. AirWindows DeEss ( ) about 70% of the time I can get solid DeEssing from this plugin, although I prefer automation for deEssing. Pro-DS (DeEsser) This is the only plugin I did not test out. It's top of the line, I've used many different bus compressors and none are objectively better than this. Haven't had much success with it as a drum compressor - TDR Kotelnikov ( ) Use this bad boy for Drums, Bus and Mastering. Works well for Vocals, Bass, toms and snare. ReaComp ( ) Honestly, it's a different sounding compressor.
It does the job it's supposed to with Vocals and Bass, not very good on drums, IMO. Here are some free options: - MCompressor ( ) Sounds like you're run of the mill good compressor. Pro-C 2 (Compressor) The Fabfilter compressor is so well done, you can use it for any application (Vocals, Bass, ect) including drums, which is rare, as, IMO, most compressors aren't that versatile. These free plugins are more than sufficient to be used in place of the Fabfilter plugin suite. So I decided to write up a brief list (with a brief explanation) of the free plugins that I currently use. However, buying FabFilter plugins can be costly. You can't really beat their suite of plugins and the extensive amount of features each of them have.
Looking forward to you guys tearing me up in the comments section, but here we go.įabFilter plugins are amazing sounding and so intuitive to use.
