10 бесплатных VST для обработки гитарных треков

Опубликовано: 27.11.2013, автор: sMiles

Если уж мы снова вернулись к написанию музыки на компьютере, давайте-ка обратимся непосредственно к процессу звукозаписи и обработки гитары.

У вас уже есть DAW, вы записали барабаны и бас, партия гитары уже придумана и записана, осталось дело за малым — обработать ваш гитарный трек. Как правило, главное ограничение с записью гитары в домашних условиях это соседи и правила хорошего тона, которые не позволяют нам раскочегаривать ламповые комбики на всю катушку. Следующим ограничением идет наличие хорошего гитарного аппарата, и сопутствующей аппаратуры(микрофоны, микрофонные преампы и т.д.).

Один из вариантов — использовать процессор или преамп для записи в линию. Но сейчас уже Soft обработка может дать фору некоторому гитарному оборудованию, особенно если в этот гитарный тракт еще включить искривления, вносимые руками начинающего гитариста, то Soft даже с его стандартными настройками может звучать довольно неплохо.

Если вы решите обратить внимание на VST гитарных обработок, то условно их можно разделить на две категории:

• VST, которые эмулируют работу гитарного тракта(от усилителя и до ревера)
• VST, которые используют записанные импульсы гитарного оборудования, что позволяет имитировать на выходе звучание именно этого референсного аппарата

Ну и главное деление всех музыкальных плагинов это их цена, зачастую можно найти множество аналогов дорогих плагинов в Free версиях или же наткнуться на распродажи и подарочные акции(например, Waves как раз сейчас рассылают подписчикам ссылки на скачку различных плагинов в честь Black Friday).

Давайте сегодня поговорим о том где же взять Free VST гитарных обработок. Все плагины из этого списка имеют версии для Windows и для Mac.

AuraPlug Freetortion Plug-ins

AcmeBarGig Plug-ins

AcmeBarGig предлагает на выбор 12 гитарных эффектов по модели продаж Freebie — это значит вы можете заплатить за эти плагины столько, сколько считаете нужным, даже $0. В состав плагинов входят как эмуляторы старых усилителей, так и новомодных усилков для металла, дилеи и т.д. Есть даже уникальный эффект, который может эмулировать звучание других дачтиков на вашей гитаре.

LePou Guitar Plug-ins

Кроме того, что плагины от LePou бесплатны, они еще и не плохо выглядят. Скачать их можно с его официального блога.

Heptode Plug-ins

Эта компания производит гитарные эффекты, и для пары из них решила выпустить еще и программные версии.

Можно посмотреть на видео, как звучат их железячные прообразы

Ignite Amps Plug-ins

Ignite Amps это еще один производитель гитарного оборудования, который решил сделать копии своих продуктов в Software варианте.

AmpliTube Custom Shop

IK Multimedia выпускают как гитарный Soft, так и Hard. Этот плагин содержит 9 педалей эффектов, 4 усилителя, 5 кабинетов, 3 микрофона, и два рэковых эффекта, и, кроме того, прямо внутри плагина вы можете докупить все что вам нужно, то есть это полноценный «Custom Shop».

Kuassa Amplifikation Lite

Guitar Rig Player

Guitar Rig предлагает 17 эмуляторов кабинетов и 13 эффектов обработки, движок от Native Instruments позволяет так же плагину интегрироваться с их другими продуктами: RAMMFIRE, эффекты из TRAKTOR, REFLECTOR, VINTAGE COMPRESSORS, TRANSIENT MASTER и SOLID MIX.

Studio Devil BVC

Бесплантая версия плагина включает в себя усилитель British Valve Custom и кабинетэмулятор 4×12.

Camel Crusher

Вообще это не эффект чисто для гитары, но его так же можно использовать как distortion и компрессор.

Только постарайтесь не качать эти эффекты про запас, а пробуйте что-то записывать с ними и искать звучание, которое вам нравится.

VST дисторшн плагины.

Дисторшн эффекты помогут при искажении и обогащении вашего звука дополнительными гармониками.

FuzzPlus 3 от Audio Damage (Windows, Mac OS)

FuzzPlus3 – Дополнит набор инструментов любого саунд-продюссера. Прибор сочетает в себе звуки винтажной педали дисторшна и Low Pass фильтра Korg MS – 20. Плагин часто используют не для обыкновенного подогрева звуков, но для радикального вмешательства, получая беснующиеся, ревущие тембры.

Gravel от Taiga DSP (Windows)

Gravel комбинирует три типа искажений – овердрайв, понижение битности и частоты семплирования, а также Envelope огибающую, которую можно использовать в качестве источника модуляции. Поистине великолепное поле для всяческих искажений звука!

Также добавлена функция изменения параметров в зависимости от громкости входящего сигнала, что может изменить тембр ещё сильнее. Gravel хорошо подойдет как для создания lo-fi эффектов, так и для обработки барабанов и прочих перкуссионных инструментов.

GFM Distort от Auburn Sounds (Windows, Mac OS)

GFM Distort отлично разогреет ваши гитары, барабаны и лидирующие инструменты.

Являясь полностью цифровым данный, дисторшн не лишен причудливого характера встроенной нестабильности, что в комбинации с lowpass пост – фильтром передает ощущение 90 – ых.

IVGI от Klanghelm (Windows, Mac OS)

IVGI способен как на очень мягкую сатурацию, что пригодится для bus шин, так и на очень плотные эффекты искажения, с помощью которых можно оживить отдельные дорожки.

IVGI динамически реагирует на входной сигнал, что сильно влияет на оживление и реалистичность насыщения звука. Дисторшн предлагает разумное количество элементов управления для влияния на характер искажений. Отдельно стоит отметить ручку ASYM MIX. Она служит для изменения симметрии сигнала. Асимметрия делает отрицательную часть сигнала «чище». Таким образом, вы можете лучше сохранить динамическую структуру звука и получить более прозрачный результат. Фактически, можно считать ASYM MIX контролером прозрачности. Также IVGI имеет опцию “Controlled Randomness”, которая определяет внутренние смещения и колебания внутри устройства. Это добавляет живости и реалистичности к характеру сатурации IVGI.

DRIVE KNOB от ABLETUNES (Windows, Mac OS)

Drive knob — эффект дисторшена. Крайне удобен , если вам срочно необходимо добавить тон и насыщенности вашему звуку. Звучит хорошо как на группах ударных так и на перкуссионных элементах, добавит зернистости на басу, лидах, и клавишных инструментах. (Также в комплекте с дисторшном идет транзиент шейпер, ревербератор и куча полезного бонусного материала.)

Best Distortion Plugins: Top 13 VSTs

Distortion is an effect that most music producers learn to appreciate along the way. Especially if you are working outside of a professional environment, you’ll find that distortion is your friend. It helps your productions sound as if they were completed in a studio and not on your personal laptop.

The best distortion plugins typically emulate analog equipment that is way outside the budget of most people. They give us the opportunity to harness that same gritty tone without breaking the bank. So today we’re going to take a look at some of the greatest distortion plugins currently available. Check them out and see how they can take your mix to a new level.

Top 13 Distortion Plugins

1. Soundtoys Decapitator Analog Saturator

If you’ve taken to Google to see what you can find about distortion plugins, Soundtoys Decapitator is a name you’ll see pop up again and again. There’s a good reason for that—it’s probably the number one distortion VST’s currently on the market. It’s able to produce a wide range of saturation tones. If you want to take it to the edge, just click on the ‘Punish’ button and see what 20dBd of power can do for your sound.

The Decapitator is modeled after five highly respected pieces of gear. These are the Thermionic Culture Vulture, the EMI TG Channel, the two Neve 1057 preamps, and the Ampex 50. This plugin makes it easy to work with whichever of these saturation types you prefer thanks to the buttons conveniently located on its interface. You can also play with the Drive knob to amp up the sound.

One exciting feature is the added Mix control, which works great for parallel processing. You’ll definitely want to take advantage of this if you are using the Punish button in order to avoid a flat sound. Other features include a tone knob and a low and high-pass filter, which collaborate to “eq” the sound you produce. The Decapitator is compatible with just about any vocals or instrument you can imagine.

Pros

• Awesome hardware emulation
• Very user-friendly
• Helpful automatic drive and output linking for gain control

Cons

• There’s no transient control or de-esser

2. FabFilter Saturn Distortion Unit

FabFilter is known worldwide for their incredible plugins that provide distinctive interface designs and superior sounds. Saturn is their top-level distortion and saturation plugin. It offers incredible range for producers from subtle saturation to hard-hitting amp distortion. You’ll find an amazing selection of distortion models and three distinct distortion styles to work with.

The multi-band design and the feedback per-band feature will allow you to shape your signal throughout the frequency range, resulting in varying tones, dynamics, and modulation options. And if modulation is your focus, you’ll be impressed by the incredible modulation section that will help you inject life into your input signals. You can also add slight modulation to crossover frequencies to give them better clarity. In this section you’ll find an ample supply of XY controllers, EGs, MIDI sources, envelope followers, and LFOs.

One great thing about FabFilter plugins is that they offer you helpful hints as you work, and you’ll find that on the Saturn as well. This plugin will help boost your creativity and give you amazing results in the distortion realm.

Pros

• Superb sound
• Crossover setup is super easy with interactive display
• Impressive modulation system

Cons

• Not enough control over the compressor/expander
• Not able to see real-time modulated parameter movements

3. Softube Harmonics

As a producer it’s way too easy to add distortion to your mix with the best of intentions only to end up with a flat sound that’s devoid of all life. Softube Harmonics helps you avoid that unfortunate fate by working to preserve a track’s dynamics. It is among the very few distortion plugins currently available that tracks incoming dynamics. This gives you incredible control over the output signal, which is an absolute game changer.

On this plugin you’ll find mix control for parallel processing, high and low-cut filters, THD (total harmonic drive) metering, and other control parameters. You’ll also have five unique distortion models, each with their own analog processes. You’ll have all the tools required to capture that distinctive analog sound.

Softube’s Dynamic Transient Control technology is an incredibly powerful tool for producers. It allows you to achieve amazing warmth and grit without backing off on signal integrity. This is just one of many reasons Softube Harmonics comes so highly recommended.

Pros

• Beautiful analog sound
• Five different distortion styles
• THD metering for the best possible results

Cons

• No automatic gain compensation option
• Preset manager is disappointing

4. Soundtoys Radiator

Soundtoys Radiator is modeled after the Altec 1567A, a popular five-input, rack-mounted tube mixer from the 1960s. The Altec 1567A featured removable transformers, a two-knob EQ, and a distinctive green faceplate. It also offered an incredible 97dB of gain. The Radiator emulates that as a dual drive tube input channel and EQ unit. It faithfully recreates the grit and warmth found with the original hardware unit.

On this plugin you’ll find treble and bass controls along with parallel processing mix control. Its basic interface doesn’t limit your creativity as you explore the harmonic and saturation effects to create a wide range of tones that seem to come straight from the 1567A. You can also activate the “Noise” button for a little more analog goodness.

The Radiator comes with Little Raider, which is more ideal for working with individual tracks and also takes up less CPU. Radiator won’t overwhelm those who are just starting to explore distortion, and it offers enough effects to please even the most seasoned producer.

Pros

• Has a very wide sweet spot
• Awesome for all kinds of sources
• Incredibly user-friendly

Cons

• Eats up a lot of CPU

It offers wave-based distortion, so customizing your own distortion settings is no problem. You also have 60 algorithms to choose from in addition to any you come up with yourself along with four individual frequency bands to distort.

There are 20 filter types and several versatile oscillators found on each band. This plugin also provides various speaker models, cabinets, amps, and other simulation devices to help you create space in your mix. Then check out the effects module to add character and depth to your signals. The Trash 2 includes just about everything you could imagine to meet your distortion needs. If you’re just starting out with producing, it might be too much to take in all at once. But if you want one of the most versatile distortion plugins that will give you optimal results, the Trash 2 should be in your collection.

Pros

• Great selection of distortion sounds
• Impressive filter section
• Strong waveshaper section

Cons

• No panned split routing

6. OhmForce Ohmicide: Melohman

The Melohman is the go-to distortion VST for many of the most successful producers in the game, including Armin Van Buuren and Skrillex. There are many reasons for this, including its incredible versatility and user-friendly interface. DJs also love all of the features this plugin offers that are designed with performance in mind. The Ohmicide: Melohman can go from the subtle to the extreme in terms of distortion effects. So whether you need to just add a little grit to your signal or launch an all-out assault on your sound, this plugin has you covered.

The Melohman gives you four different frequency bands to work with so that you can individually process points within the frequency spectrum. While working in a single band, you can adjust a number of parameters like distortion, dynamics, mixer, noise gate, and feedback. You will have your pick of 80 distortion types that range from classic analog saturation to harsher modern tones.

Melohman also features MIDI capability, which gives you the option to adjust the presets using almost any MIDI controller. You can make changes to the morphing speed, distortion levels, and so much more, which makes this an ideal plugin for live performers.

Pros

• Great selection of distortion types
• Awesome three-dimensional GUI
• Plenty of presets to pick from

Cons

• MIDI control is a bit buggy

7. D16 Group Devastor 2

At first it might seem that the Devastator 2 is doing way too much, but once you get into it, you’ll find that it’s actually quite simple and easy to use. D16 developed it as an extension of their well-known Phoscyon plugin with increased control for multi-band distortion.

There are four primary blocks found on this plugin. These include three multi-mode filter sections, an optionally activated signal limiter, diode-clipper distortion, and the Dynamics Flattener Module, which is an input signal processor that’s operated by a single knob. It comes with nine distinct connection topologies with the diode-clipper and its filters. This gives you a lot of freedom and creativity to process your sounds in a variety of ways.

You’ll find that the filters included with this plugin are similar to the band-pass, band-reject, low-pass, high-pass filters typically found in synthesizers rather than the peaking EQ type filters you might expect. This gives you customizable cutoff and resonance parameters to produce a unique distortion sound. The Devastator 2 gives you much more functionality and amazing sounds in a compact distortion than you would expect for the price.

Pros

• Incredible sound
• Impressive library of high-quality presets
• Practical routing options

Cons

8. McDSP FutzBox Native

FutzBox is an interesting noise generator and lo-fi distortion effects box that can be effectively used to develop low-fidelity versions of dry signals. If you are involved in post production, you’ll want to have this plugin in your corner. It can recreate the sounds of cell phones, radios, televisions, and much more with its user-friendly interface. FutzBox features three distinct simulation technologies that offer accurate modeling without taking up too much CPU, which isn’t common with convolution-based products.

In addition to the SIM libraries found on this plugin, you’ll also have distortion, gating, EQ, filtering, and a noise generator to work with for your distortion needs. You can then combine the distorted audio with the original audio for parallel processing. Users will also be able to record while using the Futzbox because of its impressive low latency.

Pros

• Lots of authentic simulations
• Great range of processing options
• CPU-friendly

Cons

• Not quite as realistic as true convolution

9. D16 Group Redoptor 2

Redoptor 2 is modeled after a tube distortion module, and it authentically recreates the distinctive sounds that are produced by actual tube saturation units. If you are looking for breakup sounds, the tube amplifier is where it’s at. This plugin gives everyone an opportunity to play with overdriven or distorted sounds. You can use its tools to give life and strength to a signal. You can apply subtle compression and create a beautiful harmonic blend.

Redopter reacts to the dynamics of your signal like only a tube amplifier can, so you can be sure that your results will not fall flat. Loud incoming signals will be crunchy and heavily saturated. This plugin gives you the tools to cut your highs and lows. You can also attack any unwanted peaks in your audio with the four-band parametric equalizer.

This plugin also gives you independent stereo channel processing capability with a separate path for each signal. This will improve your signal’s clarity and stereo imaging by avoiding cross-blending. The Redopter 2 is a fantastic option if you are looking for a top-level vintage tube distortion emulator that gives you the freedom to be creative with your distortion.

Pros

• Impeccable tube simulation

It’s an ideal option for modeled output distortion if you want to add grit to almost any type of signal. You can use it in several other ways, for example, to fatten up the low end of your bass lines, add shimmering harmonic distortion to your vocals, or completely mangle a drum loop. It can be integrated as a module in Softube’s Eurotrack Module Platform, or you can also use it as an insert in your DAW.

You’ll find three modes included in the Saturation Knob: Keep Low, Neutral, and Keep High. Each of these gives you varying options for how you can apply distortion to your signals. Use the Keep Low mode if you want to preserve your low end while distorting your drums, for instance. The functionality of the Saturation Knob is fairly limited, but it’s free so we’re definitely not complaining.

Like many others out there, it’s based on an analog-style single or multi-band compressor and limiter. It offers a user-friendly interface and an extensive collection of presets to make the job easier. You’ll be able to achieve everything from soft, warm compression to hard-hitting limiting. This plugin works well for both mixing and mastering. If you’re looking to create analog tape recorder saturation effects, the VintageWarmer 2 has you covered.

Beyond what you would expect, the VintageWarmer 2 also includes VU and PPM metering with reliable overload indicators, which will help to elevate your sound even further.
