freeTILT by Mixland: Tube Warmth and Saturation in Your DAW
Get genuine analog character with freeTILT by Mixland – a free VST/AU/AAX plugin combining the functions of a tube equalizer and saturation. Developed by Mixland in collaboration with Kiive Audio, this plugin is an optimized version of TILT!, designed for quickly and effectively improving the sound of your tracks.
freeTILT! emulates the operation of a passive tilt equalizer and a vacuum tube cascade, based on models of classic and modern studio equipment. Its main purpose is to give your audio materials unique warmth, depth, and pleasant harmonic saturation.
Main Functions
The plugin is distinguished by its extremely simple, but powerful functionality:
- Controls: One “Tilt” control for equalization and one “Grit” fader for saturation.
- Tilt-Equalizer: Adjust the tonal balance by boosting or attenuating low (100 Hz) and high (12 kHz) frequencies simultaneously with a single control.
- Tube Cascade: Add authentic tube warmth, harmonics, and soft compression thanks to high-quality emulation of the Class A tube circuit.
- “Grit” Parameter: Control the intensity of tube saturation – from subtle warming to pronounced drive.
- Dynamic Interaction: The tube section is placed after the EQ, so EQ changes affect the operation of the tube cascade, creating a rich and dynamic sound.

The plugin has an intuitive interface and wide compatibility:
- Formats: AAX, VST3, AU.
- OS: macOS X 10.7+ (M1, Monterey) and Windows 7+ (Pro Tools 11+).
