This is complete offline installer and standalone setup for Cakewalk SONAR Platinum 23. Been a while since I last posted but I’ve been reading a lot lately. Whilst I was reading my computer music magazine I came across this cool bit of news. Cakewalk are now offering their classic synth and effects vst plugins for download.
There is some very expensive and sophisticated hardware and software out there that these plug-ins cannot possible come close to in terms of quality. In my limited experience though, what they can do though is give a helping hand with a mix. Also, and perhaps more importantly, by seeing how the controls are set when the various presets are selected, we can maybe start to learn a little more of the various processes that are going on and begin to understand more about mixing and the challenging subject of mastering. We've attempted to show a preset on each screenshot, and wherever possible, we've snapped the VST in action, so you get to see all the pretty lights!

This has a limiter, compressor and equalizer, plus an Analog setting to warm up the sound. The presets are aimed more at individual instruments but with some tweaking the unit can be quite useful. This has a default flat setting, plus 7 [un-named] presets.
Very nice stereo EQ VST which can subtly widen and separate a mix by applying slightly different EQ settings at identical frequencies to the left and right channels. This has a few presets to get you going. Loads of presets, mainly for instruments but there are 12 specific mix options. Nice unit with an analog option, plus controls for 'punch' and 'width'. The presets are quite limited for mastering but there are some useful set ups to be had with a bit of experimentation. This is a fantastic piece of kit - there are loads of mastering and mixing presets and for my money, the best unit here. Nice saturation VST - I've just updated from my original but haven't had much of a play yet - if it's anything like the previous version, this is a nice bit of kit indeed.
Updated version of the SE 1.1 - has a 'Pro' tag but it's still free! Emulated tube saturation with some very good presets - with a little experimentation, this is a very capable unit. In my opinion, second only to the T-Sledge, this cracking little tool only has three controls - 'exiters' for low and high contours and an output level. It has a few presets, but it's so simple to experiment with, these act only as starting points. I've also tried this in conjunction with the T-Sledge for some very nice results - I found the X-Cita placed after the T-Sledge in the chain gave the best sounds. I haven't had this very long so I'll edit in a report when I've had chance to give it a bit of use - there do seem to be some decent mastering presets in there though. Great compressor with characteristics.
Classic Compressor pictured Really good vintage style auto-filter, chorus, flanger, phaser, compressor, eq, delay, reverb and limiter 14. Tube saturator with additional amplifier mode. SSL's own free replication of the original listen mic compressor. RMS/Peak and soft knee compressor.
Also check out GClip, a clipper with free soft knee setting. Flexible graphic parametric EQ. Also don't forget to check the Electri-Q manual out about different filter types and how they work. Tape Saturation plugin.
JB also has lots of other great plugins, amongst them a psychoacoustic compressor. Channel/mastering processor.
Tightens bass stereofield without affecting other freq's. Multiband limiter based on four Maximus presets, pretty much the same as FL Studio Soundgooderizer. Speed imperfection emulator. Analog signal path emulator. Vintage gear emulator multi-fx containg compressors, eq's, saturation etc.
CPU hog, but really great sound! Great mastering EQ VST - thanks to Daniel Rumley [rumleymusic] for the link. ORIGINAL: jamesg1213 Good links Steve. I like the TLS-Saturated Driver, that one (on the 'warmer' setting) usually finds it's way to the Master Bus on my stuff.

Hi James, I've had it a while but never really got to run it through its paces - I only did so for this article really and I find it very subtle, but very effective, if that makes sense! BTW James, I followed up your advice on the Caroline guitar settings - I backed off the distortion stage on the rhythm guitars and ran them through the PSP Vintage Warmer [thanks Doc!!] on the 'Snare drum' setting of all things and it sounds much thicker and less 'fizzy'. As soon as I've done an updated scratch track, I'll leave the link in my sig.
