Best free RTAS plug-ins?
Somebody recently turned me on to Bomb Factory Studio Essentials Free Plug-Ins on the Digi website, which includes a plug-in modeled after the UREI 1176 limiter, one of my favorite pieces of studio gear.
I'm wondering if anyone else out there has particularly favorite plug-in to recommend. Can be for any task or effect you find useful. Only requirements are that it: (1) has to be free; (2) can run on Mac-based PT LE 6 or higher; and (3) functions as well as, if not better than, a comparable pay-to-play plug-in.

The bluecat stuff is ok, i wouldn't say any free plugin blows me. Flux stereo tool is pretty handy.
Ditto on Craig's comment about the essentials.

The Massey Plugs. The free versions may not save thier settings but they sound great.

Re: Best free RTAS plug-ins?
If it's free, does that really matter which ones are the best? I mean if it's free, why not just load them all?

Re: Best free RTAS plug-ins?
Pretty nice loop player for your loops / software instrument pack (nice, for being free):
http://www.uvisoundsource.com/uvi-wo.../articles_id/8 Was Kore Player already mentioned? http://www.native-instruments.com/#/...ayer/?page=356 Kontakt Player: http://co.native-instruments.com/ind...ontaktplayerdl Marshall-ish guitar amp simulator: http://www.studiodevil.com/download/ Amplitube Duo (guitar amp simulator), if this free registration deal is still active: http://www.obedia.com/Amplitube.cfm And there's this effect for vinyl colorization: http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/vinyl/ These are all RTAS, PT 8 compatible. As the effect plug-ins by Blue Cat (http://www.bluecataudio.com/Products..._FreewarePack/) and the absolutely great ones by Massey (http://www.masseyplugins.com/index_v...?page=download) have already been mentioned, I would be surprised if there's any more decent, free rtas/mac ones. (Well, surprise me!) ---- For not free, but cheap and quite gratifying downloadable plug-ins, you might try audiomidi.com "No-Brainer" deals: http://www.audiomidi.com/cust_search..._upgrades.aspx (at the very moment, XILS 3LE synth, Amplitube Live, and the very useful Overloud Breverb audiomidi edition, for 15 or 20 dollars each) Or for more massive "great value" packs, watch for eSoundz group buys, every now and then: http://www.esoundz.com/ http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=9 On the current "Ultimate Studio Drums II" group buy, note this: http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewto...982568#3982568 If you use esoundz.com, you're welcome to refer to my user name (below) while buying - thanks. I guess these are the best deals you can get at the moment... Generally speaking, whenever you want to buy some plug-ins, I would say wait for Summer or Christmas (or such) special offers or group buys; or at least buy your plug-ins in "bundles"! For second-hand ones, these might be the best places: http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewfo...d4480d0d0cef93 http://duc.digidesign.com/forumdisplay.php?f=12 ...not to mention ebay

Re: Best free RTAS plug-ins?
A little bit off-topic here, but there's an update to the esoundz offer I mentioned earlier: http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=4006808
"Infinite Player is now FREE for anyone who joins the current Group Buy. If you already own Infinite Player then we're rewarding you with a choice of a SECOND Multitrack kit from Drum Masters 2 of your choice out of 8 (4 from the original choices of the last GB and 4 new ones!). So, that means that if you were in the last GB and you join this one you can get 2 more Multitrack kits."
