The Waves CLA-76 is a compressor inspired by the mid 60s Class A limiting 1176 amplifier, and is well known for its extremely fast attack and release. The Waves CLA-76 VST plugin gives you both models of the compressor, known as ‘Blacky’ and ‘Bluey’ (hardware versions are the UREI/Universal Audio 1176 Blue Stripe and 1176 Blackface). MAGIX ACID Pro Suite is the latest version of the popular product from the company MAGIX, which allows you to create original musical compositions of professional quality. Use the ACID Pro app to record your own music, mix, produce surround sound tracks, and write music for videos, web sites, and Flash animations. It is compatible with most vst plug ins. Just load the Vst of your choice in your computer and use the effects button tab on your track stem to find it in your Efx list. You can either purchase new plug ins or look for free ones. You can get a few free ones by doing a google search ( free eq plug in, free compressor vst, etc.).

Leads are great. They are the sugary surface of any good track. They get you in the door and perk you up.

But we all know what that one special ingredient is… The most important part of arranging and writing songs. It’s the soul of any good track:

The BASS.

But there’s thousands of free VSTs out there. Which ones are good for bass? No sweat. We found all the best ones so you don’t have to dig.
