VariSaturator is an audio effect plug-in designed to
apply saturation effects over audio material.
VariSaturator can be used both to boost the loudness
of the audio tracks without increasing their peak
levels proportionally, and to apply subtle harmonic
coloration that makes tracks sound more pronounced
and polished.
VariSaturator features two saturation modules which
are applied in sequence, in two-band mode each. The
valve saturation module applies asymmetric valve
processing that closely resembles sound of valve
amplifier cascade, and being a digital emulation, it
applies its best sonic features without side
artifacts like noise, strong phase shift and high
frequency roll-off. Another saturation module
VariSaturator features is a digital ÆwaveshapingÃ
saturator with feedback topology. This module
applies smooth two-band saturation which can amplify
signal level and apply desirable harmonic coloration.
VariSaturator can be used in a variety of audio
processing cases: you may apply it with good results
over drum, bass and vocal tracks, over sub-mixes and
of course over complete mixes. Since VariSaturator
does not provide a brick-wall limiting performance,
when applied over full mixes, it is best used for the
final loudness boost inserted before the finishing
brick-wall limiter.
Note, though, that since VariSaturator applies
distortion, it may damage original sonic qualities of
the audio material if used incautiously. For initial
evaluation of VariSaturatorös sonic performance you
can use the factory presets VariSaturator comes with.
