Decapitator gives you those unique qualities that only come from driving high end studio gear. When you drive it hard it reacts just like great analog gear-it screams in pain.Īnd we're not talking about fizzy stomp-box distortion. That's why we've added the Punish button, which kicks in an extra chunk of gain to push Decapitator over the edge. By adding an analog-modeled tone control and mix knob, we've opened up the sonic potential of these models even more.ĭecapitator is capable of some wonderfully subtle sounds, but we know that sometimes subtle just won't do it. Then we created painstakingly accurate models and made them instantly accessible.
There are many bug fixes, new effect racks and feature improvements in Soundtoys 5 latest version. For Chorus, we have Crystallizer and MicroShift, that deliver powerful output sound.

We picked the pieces of gear we felt had the most distinctive sound, and had unique character when used both subtly and at extremes. Soundtoys 5 free download also comes with Decapitator, Radiator and Devil-Loc to saturate, compress and add distortion to your audio. In creating Decapitator, we collected and analyzed both vintage and modern hardware-consoles, preamps, input channels, EQs, compressors and studio distortion units. That means you can hear subtle changes as Decapitator reacts to a track and follows the dynamics of an instrument. Not a static snapshot, but a changing responsive model of all those tubes, wires and transistors. We've worked hard to capture the feel of analog gear. Combine all of this with the flexibility and reliability of a Soundtoys plug-in, and you've got the best of analog and digital together in one essential effect.ĭecapitator is not just a simple approximation of the analog sound. We've also included a modeled tone control that lets you shape the saturated sound, and a mix control that lets you blend in some dry signal for parallel processing without the need for routing and sub-mixes. With five different analog saturation models to choose from, Decapitator is perfect for adding character to every kind of track and instrument in your mixes. That's why we took our time, studied all the great analog classics, and painstakingly created a plug-in that brings the best of analog saturation to your digital studio. Engineers use saturation to beef things up, thin them out, give them edge, add warmth, pull elements out of the mix, and create signature sounds.įrom the very subtle to the extreme, analog saturation is an integral part of great mixes.
The sound of tubes, transistors, and circuitry being pushed to the limit has long been the key ingredient in great-sounding analog recordings. Saturation-it's the essence of what makes analog hardware sound so musical and pleasing to the ears. The SoundToys Decapitator is a subtle to extreme hardware-modelled saturation.
