Free Plugins
Free Suite is a completely free, performant, light weight, resizeable, zero fuss set of cross-platform audio plugins. All the tools needed to fully mix a track to professional standards. No registration needed, simply download and enjoy! Free Suite is available for Windows, Mac, Mac M1 native and Linux, in VST3, AU and AAX formats.
A suite of 9 free mixing plugins from Venn Audio that covers the essentials: EQ, compressor, convolution reverb, delay, clipper, gain, tone shaper, panner, and meter. The idea is you can mix an entire track with just these plugins. No registration, no email signup — just download and go.
Everything is lightweight, resizable, and low on CPU. The compressor has sidechain support, the convolver handles impulse responses for reverb, and Free Clip 2 uses hyperbolic tangent saturation for clean clipping. Nothing flashy, just solid tools that do what they say.
Native M1 support on macOS, and it runs on Linux too which is still rare for free plugin suites.
The convolution reverb (Free Convolve) is the standout for game audio work — load any impulse response to place sounds in specific spaces. Free Comp with sidechain is useful for ducking effects under dialogue. The whole suite being lightweight means you can load many instances without worrying about CPU when processing large batches of game audio assets.
