In a previous YouTube Shorts video, we showcased four free bundles and instruments in under one minute.
By popular demand, we’re back with more, this time going over four free sound design plugins that are great additions to any music producer’s toolkit. Watch along above to get a sense of how the plugins sound in action, and download them via the links below.
1. Transpanner by Artists in DSP
First up is Transpanner, which lets you manipulate the 360-degree panning position of a sound. In the video, we use a guitar loop to showcase how it can be a great entry point for experimentation with 3D audio.
Download Transpanner for free here.
2. Filtron by Polyverse Music
Filtron is a high-quality state variable filter that smoothly transitions between low-pass, bandpass, and high-pass modes, making it a neat tool for sound designers. Its ability to self-oscillate sets it apart from the crowd, allowing it to achieve unmatched levels of resonance.

3. Vocal Doubler by iZotope
The creators behind industry-leading tools like Ozone and Neutron bring Vocal Doubler, a free plugin that gives your vocals some lushness and depth via a touch of natural-sounding doubling magic. Its sleek and minimal UI provides unparalleled ease of use with a low CPU overhead.

4. Neutone by Neutone Inc
Last but not least, Neutone is a unique tool that puts AI processing in the hands of sound designers for absolutely free. In the video, we demonstrate how it uses timbre transfer to output a complementary choir sound using a guitar sample as the input.
