MB Puncher Free VST Plugin

Hey there gear junkies

Got another suggestion of a great free VST plugin for ya.
The MB Puncher is a compressor type plug with the typical controls, input, threshold, release, and output, but it behaves differently than others I have used. It's kind of hard to explain except that it does just what its name suggests, it makes the input "punch" through your mix.
I've taken to using it on drums that just don't seem to make as much of an impact in the mix as I want. I create a stereo buss for the drums (something I almost always do anyway) and throw the Puncher on it. Almost instantly the snare and kick bite right through the mix to give that bang that was needed.
Such a simple and easy plug to use and free (which is always good).

Studio construction update: Slow going. I was hoping this would be quick and exciting, but instead it's taking forever. I've got the water pipes covered with a mass loaded vinyl to cut down on noise from there, and I had heat/AC installed (thank God!). Next is framing which should be finished this month. Then electric...Stay tuned.

Listening to Naci Griffith's The Dust Bowl Symphony. Nice and quite for while my baby takes a nap...

Rock on
