We live in the golden age of FREE plugins for audio production. This week I demonstrate how I use each of my favs while composing and recording a folk/rock music library track.

Your love for creating music shine through again, in this great and inspirational video. 👌
Super. thanks for the run down. I'll just put a pin in DecentSampler & Pianobook. We're truly in a golden age of musical resources and information.
Some of my favourites and a couple I didn't know, that simple reverb for one looks really handy.
Love The War on Drugs, they sound like my teenage record collection
When Native Instruments and Plugin Alliance did their collaboration earlier this year they gave away the Black Box HG-2 for free and I’ve been using it non-stop
Great episode Jon!…just got your channel coincidently but this is awsome…, you do everything by yourself and give valuable tips about free plugins,…very impressive! … thanks!
TAL Chorus is like Green Pepper Cholula – I put it on everything
Loved the video but all I could hear was "closing time" by your buddy Dan Wilson. Thanks for all you do!
Thank you! Not only for the info, but also for sharing the inspirational easy going way you approach music making. 👌🏻
Every one a winner Jon. 👍😎🙏
I really appcreciate your channel! Thanks!
Sweet Jam! Also, some great free recommendations. Thanks again, sir.
Very cool Jon. You’ve demonstrated, perfectly, the creative use of plugins, to make uninteresting parts come alive. And, free ones, no less! It works quite well for us one-man bands.
SnareBuzz is SO GOOD. Love that thing.
I'd watch more about your composing and producing moves, inspiring.
For FREE FX plugins I LOVE to use :
EQ and compressors : Tokyo Dawn , Variety of Sound
Guitar & Bass : ignite Amps, ToneLib
Reverb : OliRiver
Deelay
Mastering : Unlimited, Apogee Soft Limit
And one channel that really opened my mind :
