Check out this one: Camel Crusher. It’s a free ‘colouring’ multi-effect plugin. It offers two characteristically different distortion sounds which can be blended together to create a wide variety of tones and textures. Great for guitars, drums and plenty more!
Hey Chris,
Thanks for your very informative tutorial, I only just downloaded the Vst – Rtas wrapper and was trying to work it out, my partner did a Google search and found your site, came into my studio all glowing and said I know how it works, she has no idea how to use Protools, then again no knowledge can be a blessing.
Now I’ve got it working, awesome.
Take care
Frank
