dxLevel by Accentize is a free voice leveling VST plugin designed for podcasters, video editors, dialogue editors, YouTubers, livestream creators, post-production engineers and anyone who works with spoken voice.

Luch by Moloko Instruments: A Free Sampled Metallophone VST Plugin Full of Soviet-Era Texture and Fragile Beauty
Luch by Moloko Instruments is a free sampled metallophone VST plugin for producers, composers, sound designers and home studio musicians who want something more personal than another polished piano, synth pad or cinematic bell library.

This is not the kind of free VST plugin that tries to impress with size alone. Its strength is mood. Luch captures imperfection, age, mechanical noise, unstable tone and a sense of…
