UPDATE: it seems like Basic65 is no longer availible as it has disappeared from de la Mancha's website. Give Dream64 by Odo over at KVR a shot--another cool little C64 synth!
I'm going to try to not go overboard with the "FREE" posts... Who are we kidding? Synthmode loves FREE and so do you, so here's another great find from de la Mancha Plug-ins.

Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) promiscuity is a very common thing in this day and age... I'm talking about hopping from DAW to DAW as if it was no big deal. Having gone through
Sony ACID,
FruityLoops,
Cakewalk (now Sonar),
Reason,
Cubase, and now
Ableton, with a lot of overlapping and back-and-forth, definitely makes you wonder if you've ended up with the "right one".

Have you ever wanted to make spooky atmospheric soundscapes or soundtracks that will make any puppy go under the bed and cover his eyes with his paws?
Well, now you can. And it's so easy even a baby could do it.

I was recently working on a track with
Cisko Bars and needed to go on a a scavenger hunt for some imaginative sound effects (SFX) to illustrate a rap verse (a-la classic Eminem). About 5 years ago I had tried finding good royalty-free SFX online, but failed--free user-generated content was just not there yet.
