On the fourth day of Christmas Krannaken.com brought to you a free copy of U-He’s Tyrell N6 synth. With a wealth of well over 500 presets available on the N6, it also proves to be a great freebie and a Godsend if you’re strapped for cash.

12 Days of Christmas Gifts: Day 5 — Layers by Orchestral Tools

The fifth day of Christmas saw another great synth. This time, we were looking at Layers by Orchestral Tools. Therefore, this was another orchestral plugin. It was similar to Day 1, but by Orchestral Tools. I believe this one sounds just as good as Discover. You can learn more here and download it here.

On the 6th Day of Christmas…

This is the first effects plugin we offered you this Christmas. Overtone GEQ is made and developed by one of the best plugin development companies. This is also the first of two Voxengo plugins that we have for you this Christmas. You can learn more here. Unfortunately, we are not able to offer you a good video.

Plans for 2021 on Krannaken.com

I am starting my Master’s Degree in Popular Music Performance in February. This is with the University of West London and will last for one full year. However, please do not think that I am neglecting you or my blog. I am planning to blog three times per week throughout my master’s degree. Therefore, I have made some interesting plans for 2021 with Krannaken.com.

I am currently working on an updated version of The Complete Guide to Music Marketing. This will be ready over the next couple of weeks and I am planning to have that ready for you well before my course starts.

I am also planning a new series where I will deliver my opinions on various music marketing videos. The first will be on this coming Monday and will feature Damien Keyes’ video about Spotify deleting 750,000 songs from their catalogue. I will let you know my thoughts and what you can do to get around it and still use Spotify with maximum potential.

Lastly, if you would like me to feature any particular VST plugins on my Freebie Friday this year, please mention them below. You are the reason I write this blog. Therefore, I want Krannaken.com to be as popular with you as possible. That also includes featuring the content that you want me to cover. Thank you for being such a great support.
