Enter Burning Stones. I just pulled this into my session, and man, this high-gain desert amp plugin absolutely slaps. It’s built from the ground up for producers who need reactive, heavy doom tones that actually bend, breathe, and compress under your fingers.

Why Burning Stones is a Game-Changer for Your Mix & Workflow

• Massive Desert Character: Dial in dusty, stoner-rock vibes that instantly give your track a distinct, aggressive personality without eating up all your headroom.
• Real Power-Stage Sag: Experience true, physical playability. Push the input and the amp starts to organically compress and collapse, reacting exactly like a pushed tube head.
• Mix-Ready Built-in Cabs: Skip the endless IR hunting! You get five dialed-in cabinet voices built right in (Main 57+121, Bright 57, Doom Room, Doom Bloom, Doom Edge), letting you go from gritty texture to room-shaking weight in seconds.
• Total Tone Control: Sculpt your frequency response with the Bass, Mid, and Treble section, and use the Amp Response/Feel control to get the exact bounce you need for your playing style.
• Seamless Workflow: Quickly audition tones using the A/B/C temporary snapshot slots, and save your own user presets when you find that magic sweet spot.

Tech Specs (Keep it Light)

• OS Compatibility: WiN & MAC supported.
• File Size: A super lightweight 23.1 MB – barely takes up any drive space!
• Format: VST (No external IR loaders needed).

And that’s exactly what Mix Locker is all about. This ain’t just another plugin; it’s a whole damn mixing environment.

Why Mix Locker is a Game-Changer for Your Mix & Workflow

Right off the bat, Mix Locker feels like it was designed by producers who’ve actually been in the trenches. It’s an all-in-one suite, which means you can build your own custom channel strip inside a single plugin window. Instead of hunting for different tools, you just load up the modules you need, and you’re off to the races. This is huge for keeping your creative momentum going. It’s all about staying in the flow state, and this plugin gets that.

Here’s how this beast will level up your sound:

• Build Your Dream Channel Strip: Forget presets. The freely adjustable modules let you drag and drop EQs, compressors, and saturators in any order you want. Need to EQ before you compress? Done. Want to add some dirt after? Easy. It’s your signal chain, your rules.
• Keep Your Highs Silky Smooth: With Linear Phase Oversampling on every module, you can push the processing hard without getting that nasty, brittle digital sound (aliasing). This means your top-end stays clean and expensive-sounding, even with heavy processing.
• Create Massive Stereo Width: The Mid-Side processing option on each module is a secret weapon. You can easily widen the sides of a synth pad without touching the kick in the center, or add aggression to just the middle of a bass guitar. This is how you get that pro-level separation and depth.
• Nail Your Gain Staging: Every module has its own gain controls and metering. This is clutch for making sure your signal isn’t clipping between effects, giving you all the headroom you need for a loud, punchy master. No more fighting digital distortion.
• Track With Zero Lag: The zero-latency mode means you can slap this on a track and record vocals or guitar through it in real-time. Hearing the final sound while you perform is a game-changer for getting the right vibe from the start.

Tech Specs (Keep it Light)

No need to get lost in the weeds. Here’s what you need to know:

• Plugin Type: All-In-One Mixing Suite
• Platform: Windows, Mac, & Linux (Props for the Linux love!)
• Size: 208 MB
• Version: 1.0.2 (Free Version)
• Latency: Zero (when oversampling is off)

The Verdict

Look, in a world full of single-use plugins, Mix Locker slaps. It’s a powerful, flexible tool that streamlines your workflow and lets you focus on what actually matters: the music. The ability to build your own custom processing chain inside one plugin is just genius. It saves CPU, keeps you organized, and gives you the sonic tools you need to make your tracks sit perfectly in the mix.

For a free VST, the quality here is insane. This is a must-have for any producer, from beginners who need a solid starting toolkit to pros who want a faster, more intuitive workflow. Go grab it.

Place mics, mix speakers and export unlimited .wav IRs.

The Future of Guitar Tone – MIKKO is the most sophisticated guitar cab sim in the world. Now powered by our cutting-edge Reflex format, it delivers a full-range and mix-ready tone with a flat response. Traditional guitar cabs are not optimized for miking up and it has become common practice to rely on post-processing guitar tones and accepting the flaws in guitar cabinet designs. MIKKO Reflex maximizes the unfiltered tonal character of amazing guitar speakers in a neutral guitar cab designed by Paul Gough (Zilla Cabs) that is optimized for miking up.

MOVE MICS IN 3D SPACE
With MIKKO Reflex you can realistically place mics 360 degrees around the speaker while controlling the distance from the cap to edge or pulling the mics back to combat proximity effect or tilting the angle of the mics for a phasier character.

EXPORT .WAV IR’S
Make your own high quality impulse response collection for personal use that is compatible with all hardware that supports .wav format IRs. Choose the correct format that suits your modeler and use minimum phase transform to ensure that you can also mix these IRs with most other IRs.

EQ BALANCE
MIKKO features an amazing EQ balance section that lets you visually analyse and EQ your mic-up and save it as part of your exported IR.

Free version provides with one speaker and four microphones.
