i'm zane welcome to audio tech tv where it's my goal to help you conquer the tech
so you can unleash your creativity and i do this by providing easy to follow audio tech
tips tutorials and reviews now links to all of the free vst plugins mentioned in this video are down
in the description and i know there were a ton of great free vst plugins that were released in 2020
these were just 10 that really stood out to me now let's jump into it first up on the list is
sampletank 4 cs from ik multimedia this is a free version of sampletank 4 that includes 50 virtual
instruments with over 4 gigabytes of virtual instrument sounds and a mixer with 70 effects
fx sends plus a master bus you also get 200 midi grooves to help you build tracks quickly
and there's no restricted features so this is the same program as the paid for version
just with a reduced library that you can always add to as you go
it works as a plugin or as a standalone piece of software sampletank 4cs is available on mac and
windows
second on the list of best free vsts of 2020 is lost in 70s base deluxe base amp sim
this is a classic base tube amp you get two identical channels with compression
eq and drive settings allowing you to easily switch between sounds
there's also a pedal board with six pedals plus you get four models of base cabinets
based on some of the most famous base cabinets out there lost in 70s have done a great job with
all of their plugins and this one is no exception you can get it on both mac and windows
number three on the list is pendulate from eventide and newfangled audio pendulate is
a mono synth that uses a new oscillator design to produce sounds different from any other synth and
it definitely has some different cool sounds in it and if you've been bored with a lot of the same
old synth sounds that some of the free vsts offer this one is a bit refreshing but you can still get
some of those old-school analog sounds that you love you can get pendulaid on mac and windows
fourth on the list is valhalla super massive reverb this is an algorithmic reverb that's
capable of creating some huge reverb and echo sounds it has over 10 modes which are the
algorithms and each mode has its own character and sound this could be your one and only go-to
reverb for pretty much any situation you can get valhalla supermassive on windows and mac
all right before i get to the next free vst plugin on the list i just want to
ask if you're enjoying this video so far and getting some value out of it can you please
give it a thumbs up it really helps my channel out and i appreciate it so much
now fifth on the list of best free vst plugins of 2020 is hanon b70 from lost in 70s this is an
emulation of the classic hammond b3 organ it's based on the emulation of the 91 tone wheels
which rotate permanently giving you natural key clicks and fairly simple synthesis the leslie
is composed of its tube preamp its tube power amp and the emulation of the two rotors as well
as the first reflections on the body you can get the lost in 70s hanon b70 on both mac and windows
number six on the list is the baby comeback delay plugin from baby audio baby comeback is a simple
delay plugin with your typical controls but it also adds a flavor section with four flavors
that adjust the character of the plugin there's wide analog saucy and cheap so it's kind of like
having four delay plugins all in one as each of those flavors makes the plugin sound different
another cool feature on baby comeback is the ducker knob as the name suggests this ducks the
delayed signal while your input signal is playing you can get baby comeback on both windows and mac
number seven on my list of the best free vst plugins of 2020 is the cherry audio surrealistic
mg1 this is an emulation of the realistic concertmate mg1 which was designed by tandy
and moog music engineers and it was sold at radio shack stores from 1982
to 83. it was designed to be an affordable no-frills consumer synthesizer for the masses
now you can get the sounds of that classic synth for free with this plug-in and it even
includes 130 presets to get you started you can get the surrealistic mg1 on both mac and windows
foreign at number eight on the list is the gsi varispeed copycat ic 400 delay unit this
plugin emulates the watkins copycat ic 400 which is a vintage tape delay unit
what makes this delay unique is the ability to adjust the speed of the motor
and you'll notice the animation of the motor changes too so you get that full
classic feel with this plugin you can get simple delay effects or huge crazy delay
sounds with this plugin you can get the gsi varispeed copycat ic 400 on mac and windows
number nine on the list is the vital synth from matt to tell this is a spectral warping
wavetable synthesizer it has a cool animated graphical display that allows you to see what's
going on with your sounds vital has a drag and drop modulation workflow that allows you
to quickly design your own sounds or the free version also comes with 75 presets
that you can use as starting points you can get vital on mac windows and linux
the tenth plugin on my list of the best free vst plugins of 2020 is tdr molotok from tokyo dawn
labs this is a free compressor plugin that you can use on buses or on individual tracks and it's
going to sound great it does color your tracks a little bit so if you want a transparent compressor
this one might not be for you but if you want to add some nice harmonic character to your tracks
download tdr molotok you can get it on windows and mac
