Voxengo SPAN free
On every session I work on, Voxengo Span is at the end of my chain. I've created my own template which makes the curve flat for a pink noise. Since most of today's music approximate a pink noise, that's makes it very relevant. I also made the sampling time longer, which makes the curve less dynamic. It seems to be more truthful to how we experience loudness.
I think Voxengo Span is a very simple, yet effective metering plugin. Since it's free, it's an unbeatable value for the money.
You´ve got great plugins. Smart, good looking, sophistique, clear to use, low CPU...etc. but first of all - they got unique style. Dont´start "copy" any classic effects, tape machines, or just anything. Just keep your own style and way to make plugins, there is so many copymakers in the business...
All the best for the New Year 2018!
