Nothing is ever free for ProTools right? Wrong! There are plenty of free plug-ins out there if you care to look around. Last time we looked at free stuff, the focus was on synth plug-ins for all DAWs, so this time here are 10 of the best free effects plug-ins for Pro Tools (but some will also work with other DAWs).

Pro Tools - Choose where to Save Sessions Pro Tools will let you choose the location of where you wish to save a Session. This will be the location where the Session file is saved and where the audio will be recorded to. You have two options –. Plugin Folder of Pro Tools 12 Pro Tools 12. All Waves Plug-ins. Waves creates so many useful plug-ins that they deserve their own article. Very basic Q for you pro's! For some reason i cannot get Wizzoverb to open in pro tools. Am i supposed to be pasting the.dll(the wizzo one is),. Dsr files into C:/ common files, digi, dae, plugins etc. Or in the pro tools folder? Here in the hallowed halls of UA’s Customer Service department, we get a fair number of calls on integrating UAD Powered Plug-Ins with Pro Tools. Recently, I was lucky enough to read the following article, penned in September, 2009, by Brian White. In it, Brian shares his thoughts and offers a unique perspective on the UAD-Pro Tools marriage. The information is excellent, and we thought all.


DrumCore Free version 3

  • Sonoma WireWorks
  • RTAS (also AU/VSTi)
  • http://www.sonomawireworks.com/drumcore/downloads


You only get two kits with the free version of DrumCore, but it's still 1.16 GB of lovely drum sounds, something noticeably lacking from a basic installation of Pro Tools.


Amplitube Custom Shop

  • IK Multimedia
  • RTAS (also AU/VSTi)
  • http://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/amplitubecs


IK want you to use Custom Shop as a portal to their online purchasing system, but with the free version you get four preamps, nine stomp boxes and two rack effects which is enough to get you started with guitar amp simulation!


Thump

  • Metric Halo
  • AAX
  • http://apps.avid.com/metric-halo
Tools


A percussive subharmonic synthesizer that creates low end for your mix ' add bottom to your kick, strengthen a bass line or even synthesize drones.


Niveau Filter

  • Elysia Software
  • AAX/AU/RTAS/VST
  • http://www.elysia.com/software/niveau-filter


Modelled on a semi-parametric Baxandall filter, the Niveau is essentially a hi-fi tone control on steroids, and is great for making wide-range changes to frequency - and there's nothing like it in Pro Tools built-in plug-ins!


Frohmage

  • Ohm Force
  • RTAS/AU/VST
  • https://www.ohmforce.com/ViewProduct.do?p=Frohmage


Partly chosen because of its name I'll admit, this is another tool not found in Pro Tools built-in plug-ins, which are mostly tasteful and transparent. The cheesy one is a low-pass filter with resonance, distortion and delay, just great for '˜messing stuff up'!


Vinyl

Pro Tools Scan For Plugins

  • iZotope
  • RTAS/AS/VST/MAS/Audio Unit
  • http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/vinyl


It's been around for quite a while, but nothing adds the sound of vinyl to your mixes quite as well as, er, Vinyl.


BitterSweet 3

  • Flux
  • RTAS/AU/VST
  • http://www.fluxhome.com/products/freewares/bittersweet-v3


Another tool missing from Pro Tools' basic set, BitterSweet is a transient designer with but one control, which keeps it simple, and allows you to enhance or soften transients without audible compression.


Project Time

  • Hofa
  • All formats
  • http://hofa-plugins.de/pages/start_en/4u_en.php


Included because I like to be reminded of just how much time I've wasted trying to turn my latest sow's ear into a silk purse! All it does is tell you how long you have spent on your current project ' know a better way?

The Hofa 4U pack also includes a more than useful Meter, Fader and MS ' Pan tool, and a Goniometer/Correlator.


Saturation Knob

  • Softube
  • AAX
  • http://forms.avid.com/forms/AAXpluginoffer2012?cmpid=70140000000U2to

Pro Tools Plugin Folder Windows


Add analog warmth to your mix by turning a large knob - if only everything in life were that simple.


bx_solo

BrainWorx

AAX/AS/AU/RTAS/TDM/VST


A middle-and-sides decoder that lets you solo left, right, mono sum or difference; you can also turn a stereo recording into middle-and-sides and vice versa, and expand stereo width by up to 400% as well as fold down to mono. Invaluable!
