If you’ve joined The GarageBand Guide community, there’s a good chance you’ve received an email from me letting you know just how much I love Blue Cat’s Freeware Plug-Ins Pack. BassXL utilizes this technology to create a cleaner mix.

In order to avoid overlap, experiment with widening and/or panning low-end instruments. VST instrument plugins produce new audio that mimics the sound of real instruments. Adding barely noticeable frequencies that quickly beef up the low-end is simple with plugins like MaxxBass, Renaissance Bass, LoAir, etc. You can get hold of them here: Melda Free Effects Bundle There are two main categories of free VST plugins: instruments and effects.
BASS PLUGINS FOR GARAGEBAND FOR FREE
You’re getting a whole lot of shiny new plug-ins here for free and while they’re definitely a bit trickier to get to grips with than Garageband’s built in Smart Controls, they’re very flexible and sound fantastic! The very first edition of my Mixing Guide featured the MCompressor from this very bundle, before Apple decided to include an actual useable built in Compressor in the version 10.0.3 update.Ī quick note on installing these plug-ins: While the bundle comes with it’s own installer (super handy) You’ll need to select the MFreeEffectsBundle option when installing to ensure you get the whole package (not so handy). You’ll find all sorts of goodies in here – from a super useful Compressor, to an Oscillator, Tremolo and more. Bigger, tighter bass on any playback system: from mobile.

The favorite low-end enhancement plugin for Grammy-winning engineers. Melda Productions mention that “ Their features are limited, compared to other commercial plug-ins, but still extraordinary when compared to most plug-ins on the market.” With a simple, user-friendly interfacejust 3 controls for frequency tuning, intensity and output gainR-Bass makes it quick and easy to dial in a punchy bass sound that will sound great on systems of all sizes. First up we have the MFreeEffectsBundle from Melda Productions – a free suite of 26 plug-ins.
