VariSaturator is an audio effect plug-in designed to apply saturation
effects to 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 Æwaveshapingà saturator with feedback topology.
This module applies smooth two-band saturation which can amplify signal
level and apply desirable harmonic coloration. If you have some muffled
track in the mix that needs to cut through the mix better, VariSaturator
will help you in this case easily.
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.
