Recomendations - Free Plugz & VSTi's

I have the digital fishphones plugins and pretty much always use BLOCKFISH - I think it's amazing.

I was wondering what other free plugz and VSTi's you would all recomend?

Also has anyone used the SIR 2 reverb? Is it worth forking out for or are there any decent free reverbs?

Agreed.....that's the best place to start for softies. Hundreds of freeware plug-ins are available there.

Some of my faves: Crystal, Synth1, Superwave P8.......on and on...

my favourite free vst is dblue glitch. when you tweak it too your liking you can get some brilliant results.

great for drums and synths.

the ones I found really stood out were:

glaceverb
starplugs delay
gduck delay

and a couple of fun toys:

tapestop
&
scratchdown

also found a thing called reorder which is fun!

The classic series plug-ins from http://www.kjaerhusaudio.com are very good.

Voxengo has a bunch of freeware too, all of it is worth checking out.

Does anyone else find that Glaceverb is RAM hungry?

I used it as an insert on 4 tracks and my CPU got munched...

(tis very good plugin though... made me realise that RX Bandits arent clever at all, they just bung on tons of weird reverb effects!)

Pretty much all of the reverbs i've used have been. I usually add them in later.
