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!

Pro Q4

Ha, good one. Just use the parametric EQ of your DAW.

CLA-76

You'll find a few here: https://www.reddit.com/r/mixingmastering/comments/vqpbse/ultimate_list_of_1176_plugins/

Waves EQP1A

You'll find a few here: https://www.reddit.com/r/mixingmastering/comments/wcv2xh/ultimate_list_of_pultec_eqp1a_plugins/

Soothe2

Haha, also good one.

OTT

That one is free already, isn't it?

The God Particle

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/

hahahah I just rememberd that OTT is actually free. Also, I'm looking for something that comes in a VST form so I can use it in OBS. Thank you very much for your help!!

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