The SoundHack Delay Trio is a free plug-in bundle consisting of three different delay plug-ins. All of the plug-ins are free, and included in the bundle is the +delay plug-in, +pitchdelay, and +bubbler. Each aims to give you a different look on software delays. The plug-ins come in both a Mac and PC format, with either VST, AU, or RTAS formats to choose from. You can download the plug-ins as a bundle right from SoundHacks's site, and the whole process of installing and downloading them shouldn't take very long at all. Each of the three plug-ins has a good amount of control to work with, but I wouldn't say that they're difficult plug-ins to use as everything should be more or less self explanatory. A manual shouldn't be necessary with the Delay Trio of plug-ins.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
I'm currently running the SoundHack Delay Trio plug-ins on a Mac Book Pro computer and in Pro Tools LE 8, so needless to say I'm running the RTAS version of the plug-ins in OS X. The Mac Book Pro that I'm running the plug-ins on has a 2.2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB of RAM. I run Pro Tools LE 8 using a Digi 002R audio interface or a Digidesign Micro Box. These plug-ins won't take up too much of your processing power, but admittedly I haven't had a need to really run more than one or two of them at a time, and when I do use them I'll do so on auxiliary channels to ensure that I'm getting the most from them in terms of processing power. As long as you have a system where you're currently comfortable running your DAW and some plug-ins, I don't believe you'll have an issue running the Delay Trio.
OVERALL OPINION
For starters, let me say that I think it's awesome that SoundHack is giving away not just one delay plug-in, but three in the Delay Trio bundle. You aren't going to find too many plug-in bundles for free out there, let alone some that actually sound pretty good and that give you a variety of colors to work with. It's also nice that these are available for Pro Tools, as many free plug-ins out there are not. While the sound of these plug-ins can sound digital at times, they're still worth having around as I'll bet that more times than not they'll see some real use. It's defintitely worth a few minutes of your time to head over to SoundHack's website and try these plug-ins for yourself.
