8 Best Plugins for Logic Pro X (Free & Paid)
We all love free stuff but the link between price and value is hard to shake off. Here at Production Expert we have been featuring weekly free plugin articles for years so we seen them all. Here is a pick of ten you really should try. Click on the images to learn more. With EQ covered, the next just has to be compression. We were torn between this and the equally great TDR Kotelnikov. Their plugins are so good that they really redefine just what you can expect to get for free.
Molotok and Kotelnikov would both have been very worthy entrants in this list in the compression category and SlickEQ would have been a great choice as an EQ. In fact we could have done a whole list of TDR plugins.
Nova is a little different and possibly the best of the bunch. It makes a great EQ without going near the dynamic element but it is the dynamic features that really set this apart. Get this plugin right now…. It can do the positively deranged swirling, pitch modulated stuff if you like but however impressive that is, in truth we never use those sounds.
Of course, you can do synced or free-running delays, with no zipper noise if you want to automate the delay time but what this does really brilliantly is reverby-delays. Everybody should have at least one decent convolution reverb and if you want one for free then this is a great place to find it.
We all love the flexibility of algorithmic reverbs but if you want a fundamentally different sound hen you change settings there is no better way to get it than to call up a different IR. Get a selection of 70 impulses from their vintage library for free - sounds good.
The monitoring section features a mono button still missing from the Pro Tools mixer and channel solos for left right, middle and sides. Really handy! Add to that a calibratable VU meter with excellent ballistics and you have a great tool which also has nice sounding saturation! Kelvgrand make some really smart plugins and this one gets modulation right. Klevgrand have always done great UIs and this is no exception, with a radar style layout which gives great feedback on what does what making using this plugin a really intuitive experience.
There are an awful lot of free guitar plugins out there. Most of them are pretty good but of course, guitar tone choice is even more subjective than… well pretty much anything judging by the guitarists we know!
Our favourite free guitar plugin is the Minotaur from Nembrini. It makes a change from all the Tube Screamers out there and this plugin version of the mythically rare and unbelievably expensive Klon Centaur overdrive pedal sounds amazing. Midside Matrix is free and is a really useful tool for accessing the mid and sides components of a stereo signal. So there is our free plugins mix kit. What would you have included?
