Generations is about the hand-me-down weight of it all. Every scar your father carried, you get to carry louder. Industrial grind, cold machinery underneath, and a vocal that reads like a family tree at

TinyVU is one of those plugins that solves a problem you didn't know had a name. It's Jun Murakami's VU meter that you can shrink down to almost nothing, so it just sits in a corner of the screen while

Idle Foundry just dropped CA-72, a free synth modeled on the early-70s Minimoog Model D — right down to the CA3046 oscillator board, transcribed from the original service docs and simulated in ngspice.

Been messing with ZeroEQ this week, Jun Murakami's 11-band equalizer. It follows the same idea as his other plugins: do one job, do it with zero latency, and stay out of your way. I kept it on several

Eternity is a strange thing to chase. Everything this is built from keeps grinding forward whether you're paying attention or not. I wanted the track to feel like standing at the edge of that and just

I've been trying Jun Murakami's ZeroComp for a few days. It's a compressor that lives up to its name by adding zero latency. That's the thing I keep coming back to with this whole line of his plugins.

Polarity just dropped MEQ, a free spectral matching EQ for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It learns the spectrum of a reference track and nudges your mix toward it, with mid/side handled separately and an

Planet Collapse. This one came out of thinking about the whole thing coming down at once, not with a bang but like a slow structural failure. Big drums, grinding low end, the works. Turn it up.

Sidechain ducking usually means routing buses and fiddling with compressor sidechain inputs. Pulse Ducker from j.mp3 labs skips all of that: it's a free volume-shaping plugin where you pick one of 16 ducking

Been demoing Synth-80 for a few days and it genuinely surprised me. It is a straight emulation of the Roland MKS-80 Super Jupiter, specifically the Rev 4 board, and the dev went deep on the analysis. Over
