Free/Cheap Plugins

[secutanudu]

Does anyone know where to get free or cheap plugins for Protools LE on Windows XP?

Well, the field is very thin for Free....

Fortunately, the one example I'm aware of, Sampletank FREE, is a real bargin. Very useful in it's free version.
You will most likely, happily, buy a paid version when you've found it's limitations.

As for cheap, there are some bundles that are reasonable.... considering the hardware they replace.
Waves Ren I & II comes to mind.

There are free Demo versions at most sites that sell to the RTAS market.

Rule of Thumb: You get what you pay (or don't pay) for.

In my experience using Cubase, I have found most (if not all) of the free/cheap plugins to be completely useless and/or very poor sound quality. I can't comment on free/cheap PT plugins as I'm not running PT yet (working on a deal for a 001 right now!! [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] ), but I would imagine that the same holds true.

Get the very best plugins that you can afford, or better yet - save up for some Waves plugins - and you'll be much happier with the results.

Just my $.02, YMMV.
