20 Free plugins for producing, mixing, and mastering music

Plugin Alliance offers an assortment of free VST plugins to help you mix and master your music. For guitarists and producers, bx_rockrack V3 Player offers a selection of top-tier guitar amp simulations. With its library of expertly recorded amp tones, this plugin makes achieving professional guitar sounds straightforward.

Simplicity defines the Free Ranger, a four-band EQ with bands carefully selected for their musicality. Ideal for swift EQ adjustments, it facilitates significant tonal changes without the complexity of many options. In a different vein, bx_cleansweep V2, a precision filter plugin, excels in cutting out unwanted low and high frequencies, enhancing the clarity and focus of your mix.


The niveau filter complements these tools by offering an efficient way to adjust frequency balance, which is equally useful for mixing and mastering. Brainworx’s bx_subfilter, crafted specifically for low-end enhancement, adds punch and clarity to bass frequencies, making it a key tool for refining kicks and basslines.


Essential for stereo imaging and monitoring, bx_solo simplifies checking mono compatibility and stereo spread, which helps ensure a mix's success on various playback systems. The Double MS plugin introduces innovative processing for double mid-side microphone recordings, allowing for the creative manipulation of stereo and surround sound fields.


bx_masterdesk Classic delivers streamlined mastering capabilities. It combines essential mastering tools in an easy-to-use interface for quick, high-quality results, catering to music producers new to mastering.


Plugin Alliance ensures its free VST plugins are compatible with DAWs like Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, and Studio One. These free plugins are regularly updated to maintain compatibility with the latest MacOS and Windows operating systems. Additionally, all of Plugin Alliance’s free VSTs undergo extensive testing to guarantee stable performance within diverse production environments.
