Now that Wavosaur can work natively on 64 bit systems, we need some 64 bit VST plugin effects that are full 64 bit. Many of the free VST plugins are still 32 bit, but we have found some nice 64 bit plugins, for your needs : compressor, limiter, reverb, equalizer, filter, distorsion !

1) TDR Feedback Compressor II

Info and free download @ http://www.tokyodawn.net/tdr-feedback-compressor-2/

This software compressor is very clean, works nice with any input, and has all the controls you need. You can use it on the master if you want, it has this transparent quality. It’s free, it’s x64, it’s funky.

 

2) Reverberate LE

download now ! => http://www.liquidsonics.com/software_reverberate.htm

We already talked about the Reverberate plugin in the “top 5 best free reverb VST” post.
It’s good, it’s a convolution reverb plugin, so you have to feed it with some impulse response file, and it’s x64 !

10) Voxengo Span

Free download : http://www.voxengo.com/product/span/

We always need a good spectrum analysis, this one, is not only very good, it’s free and 64 bit !

Conclusion:

Of course you can use the 32 bit version of Wavosaur if you still want to use 32 bit plugins (the majority of free plugins are 32 bit!) But nothing prevents you from using the two versions of Wavosaur : 64 bit when you need large amount of RAM for editing, and 32 bit when you need a large choice of VST plugins.

If you know very good free plugins in 64 bit, don’t hesitate to comment!
