AURA Lite: A Free Ducking Reverb VST
AURA Lite: A Free Ducking Reverb VST Create spacious vocals, instruments and effects while automatically moving the reverb tail away from the original source.

Its central Clarity control automatically reduces the reverb tail while the incoming source is active. When the vocal, instrument or drum hit leaves space, the ambience returns and becomes more audible. This integrated ducking behaviour can help producers use longer or wetter reverbs without building a separate sidechain compressor and effect-return chain. Completely free: AURA…

Voxengo Overtone GEQ is a free graphic equalizer designed for fast tonal shaping with additional harmonic coloration. Instead of behaving like a completely transparent digital EQ, the plugin applies a separate harmonic-enhancement stage to each of its seven frequency bands. This allows producers to adjust the tonal balance while adding density and character to the processed signal. Overtone GEQ can be used on individual instruments, drum buses, vocals, complete mixes and multichannel projects.…
AURA: A Free Master Bus Enhancement VST
AURA: A Free Master Bus Enhancement VST Add weight, density and forward energy to a complete mix with spectral tonal shaping and harmonic saturation. AURA is a free master bus enhancement plugin created by Laureano Studios in collaboration with Ablaze Audio. The processor combines two stages: a specially designed spectral EQ curve and a harmonic saturation circuit. Together, they can reinforce low-end weight, reduce brittle high-mid energy and give the complete mix a denser, more assertive character. AURA is deliberately not a transparent mastering processor. It is intended to change the tone and attitude of a mix, making it particularly…
