The Nomad Factory Free Bundle was quick and easy to install, and I had the plug-ins available for use minutes after downloading them from the Nomad Factory website. I had no compatibility issues with these plug-ins, as they provide them for all types of configurations. The bundle has three freeware plug-ins – a phase shifter, a sweeper, and a tremolo. All have the same basic layout, each with four or five knobs to control different parameters. They are all super easy to use and I never had any problems with installation or otherwise. I don’t have a manual for this bundle, but these are some of the easiest plug-ins in the world to use and you shouldn’t need a manual.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Currently, I am running the Nomad Factory Free Bundle on a Mac Book Pro that has a 2.2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB of RAM. I run these plug-ins in Pro Tools LE 7.4 that runs off of a Digi 002R audio interface. These plug-ins have always run smoothly within this configuration, and I have never reached a point where these were slowing down my computer. I have been able to run a few of these at once without any issues, although I don’t typically use a bunch of them at once. Overall, the Nomad Factory Free Bundle runs smoothly and efficiently within my configuration.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using the Nomad Factory Free Bundle suite of plug-ins for about three or four years. I downloaded them from the Nomad Factory website for free and I’m happy to have them in my arsenal. You can really complain about free plug-ins, so I won’t! These are very good sounding plug-ins, and show you what a company like Nomad Factory is capable of. While I like the tremolo plug-in the best, all three are great sounding and no home or professional studio owner should be without them, as they are free!
