Only free plugins

I only used free and low CPU plugins that added no latency to the project.

It’s mostly REAPER plugins and these 5 free VST plugins:

  • SSD5 Free (For drum sampler)
  • TSE BOD (For crunch bass)
  • Valhalla Supermassive (For big reverbs)
  • Jerryuhoo Fire (For multiband saturation)
  • ML Amped Roots (For guitar amps)
*The lower CPU version replaces Amped Roots with Ignite Emissary
