Plugin Boutique is offering the iZotope Trash 2 ($99) and Ujam Carbon ($129) plugins as a free add-on with any purchase throughout September.
Another month is here, and so is another excellent deal from the people at Plugin Boutique, who are becoming the Robin Hood of music production. The company is doing its usual monthly freebie again, but this time with added grit.
Trash 2’s multi-band, dual-stage distortions and advanced post-filtering enable immediate sonic transformation. Trash any track: not just guitars and basses, but drums, synths, pads, vocals, brass, woodwinds, and more. Trash 2 offers dual distortion modules and a slew of multi-effects for creative, uninhibited music production and sound design. IZotope Trash 2 gives you even more ways to distort your audio. If never-before-heard sounds are an important component of your sonic landscape, you'll find Trash 2's 20 new distortion algorithms to be just what the doctor ordered for transforming your instruments and vocals into something totally unique. IZotope Music Production Suite Pro: Monthly. Access everything in Producer's Club, plus RX Pro for Music and much more! Take your audio to the next level with this one-of-a-kind subscription designed to help you become a better mixing and mastering engineer. Includes over 30 intelligent plug-ins (and counting) plus exclusive learning resources. Trash 2 is a versatile distortion effect developed by iZotope. The plugin has been used by clipping aficionados like Trent Reznor, Celldweller, and Butch Vig, producer of bands like Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins and drummer for Garbage. Trash features extremely realistic amp, device, cabinet, effect and speaker convolution modeling, freeing you to place your audio into another space (or object) entirely. Choose from classics, combos, boutique models, and stacks, or play with creative synthetic impulses from a number of different sources.
If you buy anything at Plugin Boutique from now until the end of September, you’ll get not one, but two ways to add distortion to your music. One plugin comes from iZotope, and Ujam developed the other one. Let’s take a closer look at both of these freebies which would cost you $227 if purchased separately.
iZotope Trash 2
Trash 2 is iZotope’s popular multi-band, post-filtering, dual-stage distortion effect. It offers both factory and user-made waveshapes, boasts twenty different filter types, an FX section, and even cabinet and speaker emulations with its own IR loader.

Trash 2 is anything but trash. It’s a gem among distortion effects and one that you should definitely get for free, given a chance.
Ujam Carbon
The second part of the promotion features none other than Ujam’s virtual guitarist plugin, Carbon. The company has quietly been trying to replace the human factor in music recording with its line of virtual drummers, bassists, and guitarists.
That said, Carbon seems more geared towards TV and film composers. The instrument sort of sounds like Linkin Park is playing the DOOM soundtrack while sneaking into a bank in a blockbuster movie.
The instrument is incredibly versatile, featuring the sound of an 8-string guitar, and comes with a wide variety of presets, styles, and phrases. You can change the distortion’s intensity, the condition of the amp it’s going through, choose between a few different cabinets, and layer multiple guitars to emulate double-tracking.
The addition of a “Finisher” knob gives access to Ujam’s classic one-knob multi-FX, and much more. Speaking of which, the company is offering the Finisher as a standalone effect, which is also free.
Carbon is capable of generating a broad palette of unique, lush, and atmospheric sounds. The best thing about the instrument is that it’s workflow-oriented, so you can get great sounds out of it with a minimum amount of tweaking.

Controlling distortion goes far beyond simple filtering and limiting. To get the most out of your tracks, Trash 2 includes a multiband Compressor and Noise Gate to squash the peaks, add grit and character, silence the noise, or draw out sustain. With the addition of sidechaining support, multiband processing, and an updated compression algorithm, the Dynamics module is sure to be among the most powerful tools in Trash 2.
