Starship Krupa Posted June 19 Author Share Posted June 19 Spectral Plugins has closed its doors and released its 3 products as freeware. There's Spacer, a very well-regarded reverb/delay multitool, Pancz, a sound shaper, and OCS-45, a cassette lo-fi processor. As with any such situation, I suggest acting quickly and saving the downloaders. We don't know how long their site will be up. Regarding the manuals, they seem to be in .PDF form on their site and open when you click the "?" in the plug-ins' UI's. I suggest opening them, then saving the .PDF's locally. Same reason, no idea how long the site will be up. You'll notice that they want an email address to download them, saying that it's for their newsletter, but I kinda doubt you'll see much news, since they've gone on to other things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badt1mes Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 I've been slowly running through this thread and attempting to look up system requirements of the different plugins and bundles. Do any of the freeware effects plugins work on Windows XP machines, Sonar 7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spacer is one of those completely useless-until-it-saves-a-song* plugins in my opinion. Really powerful but not one to reach for on a daily basis. * I used it on the most recent track I posted to the Songs forum: Edited August 1 by Xoo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do any of the freeware effects plugins work on Windows XP machines, Sonar 7? Only keep an eye on if they're 32bit or 64bit. If win xp are 32bit you shouldn't (can't?) use 64bit plugins. If win xp are 64 bit you can use both 32bit and 64bit plugins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The XP is 32 bit so I decided to mix on a different computer with win 10 and is 64 bit. Edited August 3 by badt1mes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
