Vox Samples has released Aurora, a free air enhancer plugin that easily adds pristine high-end to your mix! When it comes to recorded audio, Air has an almost mythical quality.

WIM Studio’s WoodScaper, the guitar effects plugin for macOS, is available for only $1 for a limited time.

Sinus Plus 2.0 is the latest version of the freeware organ virtual instrument for Windows. Iliadis Instruments claims Sinus Plus isn’t your typical Hammond B3 emulation, which I’d agree with.

SaschArt introduced a user-friendly audio plugin designed for loudness (LUFS) analysis, the LoudnessMeterFree. Meters might not be as exciting as a good reverb or synth, but they’re very useful.
