Hello Everyone.

I went to this site, and It seems like If you pay $49.00 you can have all these plug-ins. are they any good??

would you please look at this website and also If you recommend any other sites for free Plug-Ins.

Also, Dose Adobe offers any Audition free Plug-Ins ?

Thank you very much.

      Thanks for the link but you soon learn that you don't need a huge pile of plugins to pull a good or even a great sound.

      A compressor(s), a reverb, a delay and a parametric EQ pretty much does it for me.

      I certainly didn't see anything on that web site that would inspire me to download any of them and use in preference to the inbuilt Audition FXs but YMMV so try them and if you like them you should use them.

        Thank you very much. The problem is that I am very new to Audition, therefore, I don't know. working with After Effects, and Premiere Pro, there are some expensive Plug-ins that are very good. Recently, I Purchased pluralEyes4, and it dose a very good job Synching Audio with the video.

        Thanks Again.

        I think this sort of sums up (at least in reverse) what you should do.  Since you're new to Audition, get used to what you already have and only consider third party plug ins if you come up against something you need that you can't do (or at least do well).  For example, for forensic cleaning up of audio, even though Audition's Noise Reduction and EQ are excellent, You can pay almost $2000 for a specialist plug in that does even more.  However, most users don't need this.

        Me?  I use 90% the Audition native effects and only have five or six third party ones--and, of these, only one is a "paid for".  The rest were free to download anyway.

        FYI, a recent thread on the Sound on Sound forum included the phrase "Fabulous out of the box effects".  ( http://www.soundonsound.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=52907&p=482251#p482251 )  Give them a try.

          Most of those free plugins only replicate things that Audition almost certainly does better anyway. I have no idea what you mean by 'any good', as what may be fine for you would be utterly worthless to me. You should bear in mind that anything that's free is generally worth what you pay for it - with a few notable exceptions; see below.

          No, Adobe doesn't offer free plugins, as they have shareholders to account for, and a large salary bill.

          If you want an example of a good plugin (although it's only 32-bit, so you'd need to use a bridge to use it with Audition) then try SHEPPi. This is like the MStereoExpander, only rather more clever:

          Open Ambience Project "SHEPPi" Free Spatial Enhancer

          Others may well be able to make other suggestions as well, but ultimately whether any plugin at all is useful depends entirely upon whether you have a use for it or not, and it suits your purposes.
