Hard to believe that Tritik Krush not on their list for best free bitcrushers.

Amazing list, but clearly missing a few well known top tier free options

Fxpansion DCAM Free Comp

Jamstix - free version

come to mind as examples, but way more stuff on that list that I didn't know about.

Not the most comprehensive list but it's  well laid out and organized. Many staples with a few lesser known gems as well.  A nice starting point for newbies or those vets looking to expand their arsenal.

What a great resource!

There are also these two ongoing threads in the Instruments and Effects subforum, they're both on the first page right now. I've lobbied for stickiedom, nothing yet, so they rely on bumps. Between them over 11,000 views so I hope they've been helpful. They're a tiny bit different from this 400 list, as everything in them is vetted by someone who's used them with Cakewalk so we know they're compatible on at least one user's system!:

A lot of work in that list! This is worth pinning for the new folks.

Totally agree! Personally miss some information about supported platform (Win32, Win64, AU,...).  It will save a time during searching.

Even though it's been updated to this year, I found it kind of a disappointment:

I just realized with it Lepou guitar plugins are dead. More so... the blog is DEAD.

Wow, after lots of years put into those by the dev, suddenly it went caput!

Insult to injury: AU versions, at least, don't work on Macos Moneterey, at least not on my M1 Macbook air. because, you know,
silicon chips (and the developer can't be identified or something like that).

And I am not going through a massive list to see what works and what not X)

Edit:

IGNITE Emissary bundle works great on M1 Macs! ?

Interesting list, but not a single de-esser in it.

If love to know of a good free de-esser.

The ToneBoosters legacy de-esser is excellent among other plugins in these "legacy" freebies.  Bottom of this page....

https://www.toneboosters.com/support.html

Waves Sibilance has been given away a fe times and is pretty good. Doesn't help now if you don't have it, but maybe it'll come around again?  You can probably find more in Starship's freebies thread above too.

...and DO NOT forget TDR's Nova!  An excellent a FREE dynamic EQ which of course can do de-esser duties.
