The Cockos Reaper forum is a very handy place to go when your looking for free stuff. Most of the people who use the software are using because it is free/cheap, so these guys spend a lot of time looking for good free stuff. The people there have recently pointed out this rather nice collection of free VST plugins from Antress Modern Plugins.
It contains a few of their own Modern effects and tools, which cover a great many of the effects you might need for your day to day mixing. But more interestingly they have also produced a series of plug ins that emulate classic studio gear. The clones include Fairchild, SSL and Universal Audio compressors which is nice if you like the colour of those units.
Also, thanks to my freinds at the Monkey Lord forum I was reminded about FerricTDS (Tape Dynamics Simulator), which is a part of another great set of plug-ins from Variety of Sound
Check them out!

Movies: Straggler of '45
The film on which I was sound recordist in January is now approaching release to be shown at a number of the usual film festivals around Europe (and possibly the World!).
I was sound recordist/boom op/mixer for the duration of the shoot. The whole experience was a pleasure and I hope that the full movie is finished with the same level of commitment that was shown by the whole crew throughout the process.
The film is listed here:
- IMDB
- Facebook
- Twitter: @StragglerOf45
More info at Virtus Productions

Music: Nighthawk Theme by me
This is a song I put together for a YouTube competition being run by Andertons Music store in Guildford, UK. I composed it the day before and then recorded and edited this in about 3 hours.
I didn't win or even get short-listed, but it is the most rapidly viewed thing I've ever uploaded to YouTube. So I'm quite proud of it.
Also, If you are considering purchasing a Blackstar HT Dual 2 channel distortion pedal, the guitar track for this video is made entirely using the 3 distinctively different sounds you can get from this unit.
