Blue Cat's Flanger is a very versatile example, offering everything from piercing and metallic sounds to soft filtering effects.ДЇinally, the Phaser plug-in lets you apply up to 32 phasing stages for a rich and obvious effect, or, with the wet/dry mix and feedback parameters set low, you can use it for subtle chorus-like modulation. IВ love to use flanging, especially on acoustic guitars and strings to spread and thicken the sound, and for helping to create other-worldly vocal effects. The second of the three modulation plug-ins is aВ stereo Flanger. The Spread control on the stereo version facilitates variable-width chorus treatments. The Chorus plug-in offers the gentle motion you'd expect but, at more extreme settings, lets you drastically change the original sound to create 'deep pitch modulation or crazy 'bubbling' effectsвЂќ. The dual-channel version can also be set to provide independent left/right or mid/sides equalisation, and both channels can be linked together in various ways, letting you, for example, use it as aВ frequency-dependent panner.

It has a wide (В±40dB) gain range per band, and bandwidth variable between 0.01 and five octaves, making it easy to create complex filter curves. The three-band, semi-parametric Triple EQ has its three filters' controls linked, so that they behave like one complex filter. This is great, especially when you aren't sure what frequencies are causing you problems, as you can use the FreqAnalyst plug-in to track down issues before employing the appropriate tool to fix them.

It has an unusual threshold system designed to let you see the relevant parts of the frequency spectrum, and if you need to focus on aВ specific frequency range, you can zoom the display to show only the part of the graph you are interested in.

You don't expect to find aВ good real-time spectrum analyser in aВ free plug-in bundle, but Blue Cat's FreqAnalyst is one such. On the occasions when one side is lower, IВ switch it to L/R mode and use the gain trims to even up the left and right gains. Now IВ can simply insert this plug-in onto any of my tracks and use it in M/S mode, with the Mid Gain control as my gain trim and the Side Gain control adjusting the width of the image.

Since Pro Tools 10, IВ now have Clip Gain to help with levels, but for stereo image IВ used to use pan automation to narrow the stereo field, which is cumbersome. AВ lot of the files IВ get to work on have not been recorded by professionals, so the levels and stereo image can be all over the place. This bundle includes not one but six excellent plug-ins, all worth having in your Pro Tools 11 list: aВ trio of modulation effects (chorus, flanger and phaser), aВ single- and dual-channel equaliser, aВ MIDI-controllable gain plug-in and aВ comprehensive spectrum analyser.В For me, working mainly in post-production, the highlight of the bundle is the Gain Suite.

However, there are developers who make available free plug-ins for Pro Tools, and as we've all just been through the expense of Christmas, IВ thought this would be aВ good opportunity to take aВ look at some of the free plug-ins that will work in the new 64-bit AAX Native format used by Pro Tools 11.

By contrast, Avid's RTAS and now AAX plug-in formats have tended to be the province mainly of professional products that are often quite costly. One of the great things about Steinberg's VST plug-in standard is the huge community of developers who have taken advantage of its downloadable SDK to produce innumerable freeware and shareware plug-ins. We introduce some of the best free plug-ins for Pro Tools 11.
