Free VST for sound FX in video/movies production 1/2

When it comes to sound FX, nothing can’t beat a good field recording mic + audio editing + sampler, or even faster : freesound.org + free VST sampler .

For the selection to follow we have found some free VST/VSTi that are ultra-specialized (one trick pony sometimes) for very special task. More music, less talk :

1. CensorCUT : the Bleep generator VST by GrooveZing

Beep VST !

Info and download : http://www.groovezing.com/en/plugins/censorcut.php

This one is a free VST effect : it lets the audio signal pass thru it but when you hit the “-18” button, it replaces the audio with a BEEP sinus sound @ 1KHz ! Censoring the sound like in TV shows. It also works with the MIDI keyboard. Beep volume is available from the parameters (but not the interface).

Here’s the demo mp3 from the website :

It can even encode your sound to make sound like a “crypted TV program” (with the same encryption sound used by the very first french pay TV channel in the mid 80’s)
