If you’ve visited any professional studio in the 80s or 90s, chances are that the Red Rock Sound SA 60 Spectrum Analyser plug-in looks familiar. It’s obviously based on the ubiquitous Klark Teknik DN60 developed in 1980, which remains a studio staple even today. Like the original, it offers a 1/3 octave resolution. You can adjust the reference level, switch between average and peak readings, and choose from three response times. A great way to keep an eye on your frequencies!

The SA60 Spectrum Analyser plug-in is available for Windows and macOS in VST and AUv3 formats. There’s als an AUv3 version for iOS. You can even get it as a Rack Extension for Reason, although that version isn’t free.

Along with the Spectrum Analyser, Red Rock Sound has released the EQ302 Graphic Equaliser plug-in. It offers 32 bands spaced 1/3 of an octave apart, which correspond to the analyzer. You can switch between ±12 dB and ±6 dB cut and boost ranges. Furthermore, the plug-in offers a switchable low cut filter at 30 Hz to get rid of unwanted low-end rumble. There’s also an overall level knob and an overload LED. Use it for room compensation or any other graphic EQ application.

Japanese developer Uuhyou is back with yet another unique plug-in. FDN64Reverb is a reverb based on a feedback delay network (FDN), similar to the excellent Valhalla Supermassive. You can adjust a bunch of delay parameters and apply modulation to the delay time. Moreover, there’s a pair of high and low cut filters, and even a rotation effect for extra movement. Don’t be put off by the technical-looking GUI – Uuhyou’s plug-ins are excellent sound design tools!

FDN64Reverb is currently available for Windows and Linux as a VST3 plug-in.
