Melda MFree FX Bundle
Last, but by no means least, is the Media Free FX Bundle comprising of no fewer than 37 free plugins.
The Melda plugins have recently been updated to v16 (August 2022), this means a number if things. Melda say of the v16 update;
“In this case, it means V16 no longer provides 32-bit plugins on Windows. (Although you should be able to run V15 32-bit along with V16. Simply do not uninstall V15 and do not perform plugin cleanup.) Backwards compatibility is intact, however, note that there is a new optimized storage system using a new format. If you save projects with the latest version, old versions won't be able to read the settings.
But the efficiency and performance gain you will get with version 16 is definitely worth it.”
This is the most generous free plugin bundle around and includes a free vocal tuner and convolution reverb and many other excellent free plugins.
