[massplanck]

Can anyone recommend a really good free or not so free filter plugin for me?

well one of the best free ones i found for pure simplicity is betabugs crayon filter..

mind you, sonalksis tbk is beautiful but alas, it's not free. antares filter is incredible too...

[MARK ANXIOUS]

oh and if you really want to have ya head done in, try audio damage 914 filterbank :)

+1 for the Sonalksis... absolutely superb filter. worth every single penny.

Another for TBK and Crayon Filter here, use them both but TBK is the main filter of choice now.

Frohmage is pretty damn good for free.

Easy on the resonance though.

i quite like fabfilter simplon for manual sweeps

very very easy on cpu

for lfo'd mangling i use fabfilter volcano.

IMO nobody else has come anywhere near their filters in terms of sound quality unless you start getting into high end rtas (mcdsp, massey etc)

I thought they only made tracktors!

Cheers guys. Im downloading all of them now (demo & free). I cant believe i have lasted this long without a filter plugin.

Frohmage rocks!

Havent given the others a try yet. But those ohmforce guys know their shit. Its great.

@bmovie. I used to use minion and I *thought* it was good.
The interface is great with all those modulating filters but the sound quality is gash. It would be amazing to have some kind of hybrid of minion & frohmhage
