What about professional EQ'ing/Mastering stuff that you have to pay for, I want to get the best quality song that I could make, I tried T-racks and it seems pretty good. You ladies and gents know any others?
T-Racks is a quite powerful mastering tool... but as always, you can find free replacements on everything.
Check th first page of the thread, there are the "Variety of Sound" and "Antress Modern Plugins" that I use a lot, also the "Melda Production Plugins" are good, I use the EQ from them.
I know that Bad Man use "Kjaerhus Plugins" and he's getting quite good results.
All of these are on the first page, look up.
Antress Modern Plugins updates from v3.0 to 4.0.
For now all v3.xx Modern Plugins are removed (more than 30 plugins) and are up just two from the new 4.00 pack:
Modern Premier

Hope the new versions will be up soon, those are some of my favorite plugins.
Antress Modern Plugins continue with releasing the version 4.00 of their plugins. The newcomer is Modern Seventh Sign..

Looking for a ping-pong delay ?
Tom Pong is a cute, useful one.
Made by Tom Gersic.
A ping pong delay is a delay which alternates from one speaker to another. If the balance is set to 0.5, a stereo signal will invert itself each time the delay buffer is played back. If the balance is set to either side of 0.5, the signal bounces back and forth between the speakers. Tom Pong can be synced to the host sequencer, or delay times can be set by sample count. Feedback and output level are also adjustable.
Windows only
ADT - Artificial Double Tracking
The ADT technique was developed at Abbey Road Studios by engineers recording the Beatles in the 1960s. To free John Lennon from having to sing everything twice for real double tracking they came up with an artificial replacement: they sent the original signal to another tape machine and re-recorded it. Due to the physical distance between record and playback heads the new signal was delayed. The length of the delay depends on the tape speed (the slower the tape is running the longer it takes for the signal to travel from the record to the playback head). However, due to the machine's (small amounts of) Wow and Flutter the delay time was not fixed but varied slightly, giving an additional chorus-like effect.
The ADT Plug-In takes a mono input signal and creates a stereo output. The original input signal will be output on one channel, the new ADT signal on the other.

Available as Windows VST, Mac VST and Mac AU.

TC Electronics are temporarily offering their M30 reverb for free.
it seems de la mancha has quite a few free vst effects
most of which seems pretty good for your glitchy types of music
found it when i was looking to see if koass pads came in plugin format
they dont :(
From time to time it's good to check your mixes not only with your ears. Sometimes you just get used of the sound and you might need a visual feedback.
Here comes in handy the analyzers.
Spectrum Analyzer
Features:
- 1/3, 1/4 or 1/6 octave mode (30, 40 or 60 bands respectively).
- Simultaneous peak, peak-hold and average (RMS) display.
- Entirely adjustable ballistics.
- Unrestrictedly resizable display window.
- Customizable colors.
- Freeze function.
- Supports any sample rate.
Another interesting one is MultiInspectorFree.
MultiInspectorFree is a 31 band spectral analyzer with multitrack functionality. It incorporates a standard third octave frequency analyzer. Center frequencies of the bands are based on the ISO 266:1997 standard (20 Hz to 20 kHz). Pink noise will appear flat in the frequency spectrum. MultiInspectorFree supports up to 4 instances at a sample rate of 44.1 kHz.
And probably the most impressive (but a bit not clear to me) is Sonogram SG-1.
- Every editable parameter supports host automation
- GUI resources are just loaded once, no matter how many instances you run in your host.
So, go get those and knock yourselves out.
yes, I'm back

e-Phonic Retro Delay
Retro Delay is a flexible allround delay effect in VST format.
It has the character and sound of a vintage delay unit but features many modern options.

Big Tick Dual Delay
Another incredible free plugin, maybe the ultimate stereo delay out there. Powerful and easy to use, its main features are:
- 2 independant left/right delays with delay and feedback controls
- Lowpass (-24 dB/Oct) resonant filter
- Delay times can be expressed in ms or in 16th notes (when synced to the host tempo)
- Group mode for ping-pong delay effects
Aftershock Digital Delay
The Aftershock digital delay can hold a delay for up to 6 seconds at a sample rate of 44100. It features 3 independent delays, one left, right and center. Each of these delays have a separate Feedback level, volume level and selectable delay type. You can select from Tap Delay, Host tempo Delay and standard delay.
Twin Delay VST
Twin Delay is a VST plugin designed for emulation of digital and analogue delay effects. The program is not an exact copy of already existing hardware-based equipment, nevertheless it can be used for producing a majority of popular effects, as well as some modulation and 'unusual' effects, for instance Flanger, Metallizer. Special attention have been given to analogue delay algorithms, that make it possible to create beautiful and original sounds, frequently used in such genres as IDM, Experimental, Breaks and especially Dub, as well as genres that use Dub elements: Dub techno, Dubstep, Dubwise and so on.
eTap2 by Jpatch
eTAP2 is a plug-in version of the vintage tape and disc-echoes like those that were used by Hank Marvin and others in the past.
Flang-3R is a free 6 band stereo flanger effect, You have control over the modulation with the standard osc shapes and Sample and Hold also. Theres feedback which brings out the sound more and dampening and mix if you want just a slight effect and shift to adjust the tone. Theres 3 different modes for the speed controls and you can sync the modulation, use linked control amounts or adjust the left and right separately.

purposes.
Bad news and good news... well, it's more just of a bad news with a hint of hope... well, not really hope but more like a solution of half of the problem... :(
So, Kjaerhus Audiono longer exist as a software company.
Their commercial plugins can not be found and registered anymore and their website is gone.
Still, their most famous plugins, the "Classic" series which were some of the first free plugins and probably some of the best (presented them on the first page of this thread, I think) can be found on Acoustica website.
The "Kjaerhus Classic Series" is bundled in Mixcraft 3 but is offered as a free download also separately:
HERE
I hope one day Kjaerhus Audio will be back... or at least the guy behind this small company it's ok...
On a more optimistic note:
Looks like a lot of software developers want to help us, the independent musicians, and offer quite a lot of useful software for free.

Does anybody know how to use these things in LMMS?

HERE is a list of tested VST plugins and their compatibility with LMMS.
I tried LMMS once but didn't got "the hang of it" and not really understood the way it works and use plugins.
Maybe you'll find something useful HERE.
Aqualizer
Aqualizer is a free, open source, 32-bands parametric equalizer with the possibility to turn on or off any amount of bands up to 32. It allows the peaking frequency to be entered at will and the band width can be adjusted by turning a knob. Each band has a range of -12dB to +12dB, as has the gain slider. Aqualizer also comes with the Go-function, which logarithmically spreads the frequencies between fMin and fMax over the active bands. This allows for precisely setting the range of the bands without having to do lots of calculations by hand.
