So, what about 'low-end' or Free plugins? In 20 years they might be seen as just another classic, simply because they add a perceived 'color' or artifact that someone influential at the time deems as noteworthy for a particular use in an otherwise pure digital world. These emulations we buy range from modeling tubes & transistors to early 12-bit digital devices. Now, we spend a small fortune trying to emulate the 'color' of classic 25 to 40-year-old components in an otherwise clean pure mathematically perfect digital realm. With every technological advance, we've gotten closer to perfection in those terms, and arguably have already been beyond our ability to perceive 'dirt' in measureable specs for years.

For fifty years the focus was to achieve purity in S/N ratio, phase, detail, and colorless unadulterated audio. Stay away!I've never heard these plugs, but I question the popular notion that anything 'free' equates to garbage. I tried a couple of them and they all had that 16 bit-irrational-unpredictable-pumping to them.
