If I could only pick one plugin of this list I’d probably go for this one, since it comes with the most features. Combining these options basically allows you to recreate any lofi characteristic you could possibly think of. It combines 6 different effect units, including noise, wobble, distort, digital, space and magnetic. Probably the most hyped plugin of this list is the R-c20 Retro Color by XLN Audio. Luckily most of these plugins aren’t that expensive compared to some of the stuff by other brands. A lot of them do more or less the same thing so in the end it’s up to personal preference (and budget), which ones you should get. Best LoFi PluginsĪlthough you can definitely do some cool stuff with the freeware I mentioned so far there are some paid options no lofi producer should miss out on. Since there isn’t much processing going on, the synth is quite CPU-friendly. It comes with one oscillator, 7 waveforms and controls for ADSR, vibrato and decimation, which makes it perfect for Chiptune or 8-bit music. The Retro Boy is a Windows only VST synth.

Legowelt is a dutch producer known for releasing samples from analog hardware units, but you’ll also find some Ableton Racks on his website, including the Smackos Tape Station, the Smackos Lemuria Vintage Sampler Simulator, the Smackos 808 Simulator and the Smackos Amiga 909.
More precisely it has one drive knob and a quantizer, which can run in different modes and qualities. Just like Krush it combines different distortion modes with high and low-pass filters. It’s meant to process “audio to give it a low fidelity sound”.

This one is a free bit quantizer, waveshaper & filter plugin made by Tadashi Suginomori from HY-Plugins.

It’s available for both Windows and Mac in VST, AU and AAX format so really everyone can get their hands on this. It further comes with 2 filters and an LFO that can be used to modulate every parameter. A bitcrusher, a downsampler and an analog drive knob. Tritik’s Krush is an effect plugin with 3 different distortion types. The sound either fits your production or not. The cool part about Labs is that it comes with only a handful of parameters so you won’t spend 10 years trying to get everything perfect. Most of these instruments are rather unique and therefore a nice addition to the basic instruments libraries you probably already own. There are several extensions available, including pianos, brass, choirs and synths.

Labs is a free software instrument made by the London based sound design company Spitfire Audio. A must have for every lofi producer if you ask me. What I love the most is that you can adjust the year of your “recording”. Since the freeware only comes with a handful of parameters it’s easy to use and setting it up won’t take much time. iZotope VinylĪs the name suggests, iZotope’s “Vinyl” is a plugin emulating the characteristic imperfections of vinyl records.

If you’re using Ableton however, you can get your download HERE. Unfortunately, it’s only available for Ableton Live users, so if you’re using another DAW you have to pick some of the other options in this list. It comes with 8 macros allowing you to decrease the bandwidth, add vinyl crackles, detune and distort the source sound.
The “LoFi Rack” is a free Ableton Rack based on Live’s stock plugins.
The freeware in this list can easily compete with some of the paid stuff I’ll mention later on. That said, you don’t always have to spend money to get some quality software. I want to start this list with a bunch of free lofi VSTs, because I know that a lot of producers are one a budget, especially when they’re still going to school (or music is their only income lol). Here are some of the best options: Free LoFi Plugins Luckily there are plenty of cool lofi plugins available so you don’t have to actually own an old tape machine. Once you have a selection of cool sounds & samples you can further refine your music to sound like it was recorded a few decades ago. It would however be easier to just get your hands on a decent LoFi House or Hip Hop sample pack. You could, for example, sample old vinyl records or buy an old drum machine. So if you want to produce lofi music it’s important to pick the right sounds and samples from the start. Although we have all the tools we need to produce extremely clean and precise music without any unwanted artefacts there’s something about the imperfections of analog recording equipment that triggers certain emotions in us.
