Thanks for the link there eidenk, much appreciated.

Other downloads on there are a collection of 'Buzz Machines'. Anyone here still using them? I've found a huge collection of these at http://www.buzzmachines.com/whatisbuzz.php (which also includes Fuzzpilz's Buzz generators and effects).

Can someone upload free Hysteresis plugin (made by Glichmachines), please? I had nasty PC crash, can't find it in my backups and can't render my project without this FX.

BTW: Glitchmachines website is currently down...

Thank you.

Hi, I can send you the zip, but it's also uploaded on 2shared, if you search google for GM_HYSTERESIS.zip

Compared it with my file, it's the exact same file size.

Please tell us more. What do your plugins do?

I was reading a thread on GS last night where quite a few mastering engineers were namechecking Kotelnikov, which got me thinking...
Out of curiosity, I wondered if I could put together a mastering chain with just freeware.

[DISCLAIMER: I am not a full-time mastering engineer, but I do "master" my mixes for clients, and sometimes will do mastering jobs for web-based releases. This idea came to me when I was putting together a quote for an album mix where the client didn't have budget for mastering, and I wondered what would you do if you had NO budget, but sill wanted to master your mixes...]

So here is my freeware mastering chain, as of Sept 2015:

Slim Slow Slider C3 Multiband Compressor
http://www.geocities.jp/webmaster_of_ss ... ex.html#c3
Kotelnikov
http://www.tokyodawn.net/tdr-kotelnikov/
Alex Hilton A1 Stereo Control
http://www.alexhilton.net/A1AUDIO/index ... reocontrol
Acustica Ochre EQ
http://www.acustica-audio.com/index.php ... Itemid=189
Vladgsound Nova76P Dynamic EQ
https://vladgsound.wordpress.com/plugins/nova67p/
Limiter No6
https://vladgsound.wordpress.com/plugins/limiter6/
Voxengo SPAN
http://www.voxengo.com/product/span/

You could add in SlickEQ and MOLOT if you wanted, which are also both great.

C3 Multiband is pretty harsh if you go crazy with it, but as a very subtle layer of control over the mix it works well for me.

I think Kotelnikov gives the Waves API2500 a run for its money on the master buss as a clean, transparent compressor. I think the Waves comps have a hipass going on up to around 135Hz, which gives that warm round sound, and Kotelnikov can do that nicely also.

A1 Stereo Control is great for just a little extra width, and I really like the "safe bass" control.

Ochre just sounds great, again in small amounts. Dial in super low end with a broad Q, tame the harshness around 2.5K and add a little fizz at 20K with another broad Q. Sounds good to me.

Nova76P is quite complicated, but for a little dynamic taming around the low mids it's superb.

Limiter No6 is really really amazing. A lot of the time I am not using every module, but the M/S and multiband options give a lot of depth and width to a mix without having to do very much else. The clipping can get out of hand, so you have to be careful with that, but I think it actually sounds richer and deeper than Elephant...

SPAN just lives at the end of the master chain on everything I do.

Hope this is useful to someone, and look forward to hearing your thoughts on the concept.

Maybe start a separate thread?

Ok... this is gonna be a longshot but, here goes:

I remember several years back, a guy (or group) released some plugs (eq's and a comp i think).
And as I recall the story went that he worked for a big company and for whatever reason, the leaked plug ins got the kabosh from said company and were quickly retracted.
I cannot remember for the life of me the name of them but I wanna say it somehow revolved around "mystery". Like "mysterious plugins" or something but I'm probably way off.
I also seem to recall them being similar to the old Phoenix In Flight and Antress plugs.
Also... there were quite a few threads about them floating around talking about how quickly they were released/removed.
That's all I got lol.
Anyone remember these?
