do you like free vst plugins do you want to take your boring sounds and make them
sound like something new something weird well you've come to the right place i'm zane welcome
to simple green tech and today i'm looking at three free vst effect plugins from freakshow
industries and i just want to say that these technically aren't free plugins but freakshow
industries allows you to steal them legally from their website it's all a wording thing on there
and their website's actually a really fun read and i've linked to it down in the description in case
you want to go over there grab these plugins and check out some of the fun stuff that they've got
going on over there but right now let's jump in and check out how these plugins sound and then
i'll come back with some details for each of the plugins and we'll do some more audio tests
and just so you know these plugins are 64-bit and available on windows and mac
so as we saw there are three free vst effects plugins currently from freak show industries
there's mishby which stands for maybe i shouldn't have built you and this is a tape saturation type
of plugin but not your typical tape plugin and then there's back mask which is referred
to as a chaotic reverser plugin according to freakshow industries and finally we have
the dumpster fire plugin which is a pitch shifter of sorts so let's dig in deeper to each one
now first let's look at the mishby plugin which is a tape saturation slash distortion
plugin and here are some of the claimed features of mishby says cheap cassette quality noise soft
and harsh distortions multi-band phase desynced tape wow broken and destructive digital decode
band focused glitch with length and reset probability inspirational quotes and general life
advice see there's this little led screen here and it has some funny messages on it now because
all of these words that i just said in the claimed features don't really tell you what you're getting
into with mishby let's mess around with it and see what you're getting so i have it on a simple
808 style drum track and first let's just play it without the plugin on
okay just a basic drum beat now let's turn mishb on and i haven't adjusted anything
yet these are the default settings that i'm going with right off the bat
all right so you can hear a little bit of the cheap cassette sound in
there now let's start messing with some of these
knobs
all right so if you play around with it for a bit you can actually come up with something usable
like this here that's kind of an interesting beat now the next freakshow industries plugin
that we'll look at is back mask all right so this is backmask and like i said earlier they
say this is a chaotic reverser plugin but on plugin boutique it's listed as a multi-effect
so here's what they have listed as features back mask reverses discrete sections of audio based on
various triggers trigger reversing by millisecond daw synced musical value or input level
reverse audio at all alternating or at random triggers set the length of the reverse segment
stock mode and there is one use grotesque amounts of latency to reverse the future with time align
mode zero latency by default which is nice and kills 99.9 of brain cells now i'm pretty sure
that's not a scientific claim but let's give it a listen and find out so we're going to use the same
808 drum for this and i haven't touched any of these settings yet
so i think where this would be pretty interesting is if you were to use this in automation mode or
in a live setting and you can automate pretty much any of these parameters so this could be a useful
fun tool to use for some weird type of music up next is dumpster fire and here is dumpster
fire it's listed as a pitch shifter but here's what freakshow industries say dumpster fire
is what its name sounds like a preventable tragedy of arbitrary pitch rotation and under the features
it says this this sentence could say literally anything and it wouldn't matter or be completely
true and then for the features it says here's a list to please the hungry rotate the pitches
hear them spill to all the wrong places pretend to understand the method and outcome set
an unreasonable and arbitrary number of bands in the least helpful way possible
use aether to generate unspeakable hellscapes with discrete control of amount pitch
spread and time spread understand none of this it doesn't matter so please stop
reading well let's listen to them stop reading and we'll just dive in again on
that 808 drum and i haven't touched any of the settings just yet we'll get into that
all right this one's actually pretty cool you could do a lot of stuff with that and again
it's one that you want to use in a live situation or use the automation and you
can automate all of these controls in your daw and as you just heard each one of these free
vst plugins from freakshow industries can take your sounds mangle them up and turn them into
well something completely different now if you want to check out even more free vst plugins
