That’s why engineers everywhere are always on the lookout for the perfect saturation emulator. Each model has its own sound of beautiful agony when you hit the Punish button and crank it up.The Decapitator Native plug-in by SoundToys elevates the phenomenon of analog saturation to an art! Nothing beats the way that bold and cohesive saturation brings a mix together. 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 Soundtoys is not talking about fizzy stomp-box distortion. That’s why they added the Punish button, which kicks in an extra chunk of gain to push Decapitator over the edge. Bad Boyĭecapitator is capable of some wonderfully subtle sounds, but Soundtoys know that sometimes subtle just won’t do it. By adding an analog-modeled tone control and mix knob, we’ve opened up the sonic potential of these models even more. Then they created painstakingly accurate models and made them instantly accessible. They picked the pieces of gear we felt had the most distinctive sound, and had unique character when used both subtly and at extremes. In creating Decapitator, Soundtoys 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.
Soundtoys worked hard to capture the feel of analog gear.
Soundtoys 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 Soundtoys took their 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.
