As we welcome a new year, it’s natural to reflect on the past and look forward to what’s in store. For DAWJunkie, I’m hoping for more of the same β and they’ve delivered. The developer has just released Craze, a free crunchy phaser effect available in AU, VST, and AAX formats for both macOS and Windows.
To get your hands on Craze, simply enter your first name and email address, and you’ll receive download links for Mac, Windows, and Pro Tools almost instantly. And if you’re new to DAWJunkie, don’t worry β their free plugins are always worth checking out. Take Lil Miss Doubler (vocal doubler), DSS-130SE (Yamaha PSS-130 tribute), or Lil Bottom (bass synth) for example.
Craze is a simple plugin with a handful of adjustable parameters and some nice factory presets. You can decide how crunchy the phaser effect is with the Crunch and Crush knobs β ranging from subtle warmth to full-on over-saturated mayhem. Adjust the Shape, Speed, FB, and Mix settings to craft your ideal phaser.
The Lo Cut, Shimmer, and Output controls are also at your disposal. DAWJunkie freebies are always worthwhile as they are, but the option to upgrade for just $1 is always tempting β offering various benefits. In this case, upgrading to Craze Pro for $1 will give you an extended feature set, including dedicated Left/Right frequency controls and more detailed EQ and Modulation parameters.
So be sure to check out Craze and see what kind of sonic magic you can create. Download: Craze (FREE)
