Freebies you actually use/never used

[PhonoBrainer]

Shout out for Zynaptiq's free Subspace reverb. I have paid for many other good verbs but I use that one all the time.

True. Very true. Only problem is you then need to get their Adaptiverb

It's been a while since I used those, but both are pretty good

Same here. These got me interested in their paid synths and I now have all of those. I guess it's clever marketing by U-He.

I also forgot Triple Cheese which is currently the subject of a "One Synth Challenge" on KVR.

I don't think I saw Orilriver reverb in here anywhere. Before I invested in some high dollar reverbs, Orilriver and Dragonfly reverbs were workhorses for me. I still keep them around even if I never use them. It's just nice to know they're there!

Honestly guys, this thread reads like an episode of 'serial hoarders'.  ?

Ok, I'll give away my "secret sauce". The free tool I regularly use in projects is sbagen https://uazu.net/sbagen/ , to generate a track that sets the appropriate mood

One reason for seldom using freebies is that generally for the ones that I like I end up purchasing the corresponding "big brother". Maybe that's a different thread "Which freebies encouraged you to upgrade to a paid product?"

One plugin that I also use frequently is hornet elliptiq https://www.hornetplugins.com/plugins/hornet-elliptiq/. Technically it's not free but, when Hornet has a sale (that is, most of the year),  it costs less than an issue of Beat magazine or Computer Music magazine at the newsstand.

Thank you very much @Starship Krupa for the links! The idea of the golden waveforms is new for me and sounds very interesting.
