Free for 14 days. Load it up, put your email in on the activation screen, and a six-digit code comes back to start the trial. No card needed. Windows VST3.

Leave the eight slots empty and it's a full channel strip. Fill them with any VST3, ours or anyone else's. Every instance mints its own serial, so two Racks set identically are two different channels. Pin the one you like and keep it.

fBox Rack is a console channel before you load a single plugin. Preamp, summing, bus EQ, bus compressor, saturation and a console output stage, all analogue modelled. fboxaudio.com/plugins/rack #MusicProduction #Mixing #AudioEngineering

Tape Echo, Tape Loop, BBD, Digital, Oil Can, Lo-Fi, Multi-Tap, Ping-Pong. Each its own engine with its own controls. Every instance mints its own serial too, so the unit you open isn't the unit I open. 14 days free. Load it up, put your email in, a six-digit code starts it. No card #plugin #delay

fBox @fboxaudio.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
You've already got delays. Everyone has. But you haven't got fDelay. Eight analogue machines, not eight presets. Every repeat goes back through the machine and picks up whatever it does to the sound, so they darken and thicken as they go round instead of just fading. fboxaudio.com/plugins/delay

Sound on. fDrone is a drone synthesiser, signal mangler and ring modulator in one plugin, here building an evolving drone sound from nothing. Every instance you load has its own serial number and its own character. Free for 14 days, no card or account. fboxaudio.com/plugins/drone #music #drone

fBox @fboxaudio.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Every instance mints its own serial, so it's a different instrument every time. Different oscillator calibration, a different motor, a different resonant body. Find one you love and pin it, and that's the one you open from then on. 14 days free, no card.

fBox @fboxaudio.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Leave it running and the tape head magnetises, so it gets grittier the longer it plays. Hit Degauss and it's clean again. Corroded contacts as it ages. Earth hum. Resonance from the enclosure. Wiring faults that bleed one channel into the other.

fBox @fboxaudio.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Switch fDrone on and give it a minute. The oscillators warm up and drift as the circuits heat, then settle, the way an old machine does. A drone synthesiser, a signal mangler for your own audio, and a ring modulator, in one box. fboxaudio.com/plugins/drone
The fDrone plugin interface on a dark background: a wide green panel of knobs grouped into Global, Osc A, Osc B, Motion, Damage and Character sections, with level meters down both sides. Below it, close-ups of the Motion knobs (Drift, Wander, Motor, Speed, Freeze), the Actions panel with its Degauss button, and the Damage row (Saturate, Bit Crush, Dropouts, Glitch, SR Degrade, Feedback, Bias, Noise). fboxaudio.com in gold along the bottom.

The only thing I ask for is an email address, because the plugin sends you a code to get going. It's also how your licence is tied to you rather than a machine. There's a tick box for the mailing list. Ignore it if you like. Twelve plugins, fMeter free for good. Windows VST3. #music #plugin #vst3

I'm a musician. Two things I can't stand: subscriptions, and getting shoved onto a mailing list because I dared to download something. fBox has neither. Everything I make is free to try for 14 days. The actual plugin, not a demo build. No card, nothing to cancel. fboxaudio.com/downloads
Seven fBox plugin interfaces on a dark background. At the top, fBox Console: a 32-channel mixing desk with channel strips down the left and its tape machine page open in the centre, showing two reels above a row of green level meters. Below it, six processors in three rows: fComp and fEq, fTape and fSat, fVerb and fPre. Each is a wide panel of knobs with level meters down both sides. fboxaudio.com in gold along the bottom.

fComp: nine analogue-modelled compressors in one plugin. FET, Opto, VCA, Vari-Mu, PWM, Diode Bridge, Zener, plus a gate and a de-esser. No digital mode, and every instance you load has its own character. Free for 14 days, no card or account. fboxaudio.com/plugins/comp #compressor

fDrone: a drone synth, signal mangler and ring modulator in one box. Analogue-modelled, as gentle or as filthy as you want it. Free for 14 days: no card, no account, no mailing list unless you join. Just an email code. Windows VST3: fboxaudio.com/plugins/drone #ambientsynth #glitchplugin

fMeter is free, and always will be. Needles, true peak, phase and loudness, plus an offline app that checks a hundred files at a time. The mono check says it in one word: HOLDS UP, THINS OUT or COLLAPSES. Windows VST3: fboxaudio.com/downloads.html#fmeter #freeaudioplugin #loudnessmetering
Four screenshots of the fMeter metering plugin on a dark background. At the top, two warm, backlit VU meters with needles for the left and right channels. Below, the fMeter Offline app showing a song's peak waveform, phase and stereo image, with its mono check reading "Holds up". Beside it, the plugin's Levels page with green peak meters and a phase scope, and its Loudness page with a loudness history graph. Text reads: fMeter. Free, and always will be. Windows VST3, fboxaudio.com.

Got plans this weekend? Make some noise with gear you haven't paid for. fBox is a virtual analogue studio: a console, a rack and nine plugins, and every instance has its own sound. Full 14-day trials on everything. No card details, nothing to cancel. Windows VST3: fboxaudio.com/downloads.html

fBox @fboxaudio.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
It comes with a second program that measures finished files instead of a live signal. Drop a whole album in and read the loudness column top to bottom. It also sums to mono and tells you how much of the mix disappears when it does. Holds up, thins out, or collapses.

fBox @fboxaudio.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
fMeter is free. No licence, no key, no trial and no machine limit. It does not expire, and there is no paid version lurking. VU and PPM needles, sample peak, true peak, a phase scope and a loudness chart. Windows VST3 & a standalone .exe version. fboxaudio.com/downloads #music #audio

Every plugin has a 14-day free trial, and the metering suite is free permanently. Everything is at early bird pricing at the moment. fboxaudio.com

fBox - Virtual Analogue Studio
A complete professional recording studio in software. Mixing console, outboard processors, and tape machines - all interconnected. Every instance is its own unit.

fBox @fboxaudio.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
Roll a new unit whenever you want a different voice, or find one you love and keep it. The one you keep exists on nobody else's computer. Every piece of hardware that leaves a factory floor has its own personality, and so does fBox.

fBox @fboxaudio.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
The console also runs as its own Windows application, so you can load your audio, mix on the desk and render the finished mix with no recording software at all. Every plugin also works on its own, in anything that hosts VST3.

Nine processors covering compression, EQ, preamps, saturation, modulation, tape, reverb and delay, plus a drone instrument, a 32-channel mixing console, a modular rack and a metering suite.

fBox is a virtual analogue studio for Windows. Twelve VST3 plugins. Every instance is minted with its own serial number and its own character. Set two compressors identically and one grabs a snare faster while the other lets the transient breathe. fboxaudio.com #music #audio #plugins

fDrone takes a clean, smooth drone and mangles it into a glitchy, untamed beast - running as a channel insert on the fBox Console, pushed through the tape machine for analogue-modelled grit. Turn a static tone into something alive. Made by @flakebelly.bsky.social - coming soon.
