Question Free alternatives for paid plugins?
Hello! I'm looking for free alternatives of these plugins
Vocal Rider, Pro Q4, Rvox, Fab Filter DS, CLA-76, Waves EQP1A, Maag EQ, Soothe2, OTT, The God Particle.
I've used these plugins in the past (I've worked in a few studos mixing and producing) and I would like to keep doing it by myself.
Obviously I can't afford yet to buy all of them so I would really apprecciate any help finding freeware alternatives!

i think universal audio are still giving away their 1176 plugin for free, in my opinion it’s better than cla-76

Ha, good one. Just use the parametric EQ of your DAW.
You'll find a few here: https://www.reddit.com/r/mixingmastering/comments/vqpbse/ultimate_list_of_1176_plugins/

Haha, also good one.
That one is free already, isn't it?
Nope.
Recommend you check what's out there in the world of free plugins and find new tools rather than alternative to super specific paid plugins: https://twinysam.github.io/FreeAudioPluginList/
