Plugin manager and analyzer · Windows
Plugin Freq
Every plugin on your machine, what each one really is, and what it actually does to sound. Find them, turn the ones you don’t want off, and measure the rest on a proper test bench — response, distortion, dynamics and how much CPU they cost.
Windows 10/11, 64-bit. One download — the free version is the same application.
Nothing gets missed
VST3, CLAP, LV2 and VST2, 32-bit and 64-bit, including the ones buried inside a shell. Each plugin is loaded on its own, so what you see is what your DAW sees — and one that misbehaves can’t take the scan down with it.
A tidier plugin list
Turn off the plugins you never reach for and your DAW stops loading them. Nothing is uninstalled and nothing is lost — turn them back on whenever you want them.
Facts, not opinions
Is that EQ really transparent? What does that saturator add, and at what level? Which of these two compressors costs less CPU? Measure it and find out, with the plugin’s own window open beside the graph.
Three versions, one download
Every control is in every version. The ones your version doesn’t include carry a padlock, so you can always see what the others do before deciding you want them.
