You have to check Crysonic nxtasy v3. It could be very subtle because of the mix knob  And it's 4 band! Till tomorrow 20 $... !  |

And it's 4 band! Till tomorrow 20 $... ! I've never cared for using a wet/dry saturation setup. To me it creates the effect of two sounds, you hear a clean sound and a small amount of saturation behind it. I think it takes a higher quality saturation algorithm to saturate 100% of a signal and still have it be a subtle dynamic effect but where you can hear the whole signal going through the preamp. For this reason I don't like wet/dry on saturation. I think crysonic use it to get more mileage out of mediocre algorithms. |

I like the softness control (knee) in GClip.

Yes, because it's KvR. On Gearslutz you'll find that only 1 or at most 2 are pretty good, but $7000 real deals are preferable. ---- "Music is spiritual. The music business is not." - Claudio Monteverdi |

The concept of multiband k2 + k3 with the mix knob is helpfull. Similar to the Jeroen Breebart Smash Pro but with less CPU consumption. But there is room for improvement, sure. The best sounding saturation I've ever heard is the 112 dB Redline Tube Preamp. But this one come's also with a mix knob and it's helpfull too  |

Two plugins come to mind: Melda Productions MEquializer - can create harmonics for each band, which can also be manually activated/deactivated and shifted by semitones) C.Budde's ChebishevWaveshaper - can create up to 24 harmonics on top of the fundamental no matter if positive or negative, or mixed. It's IMO actually more responsive than Christortion. Maybe one of these tools is the right thing for you? |

I really love Virsyn Vtape. It just does a great job of softening/saturating things without completely killing the transients. The adjustable flutter is great too.. I set it at about 10:30ish. Decapitator is good too, but it destroys peaks and transients so I only use it occasionally. Vtape is great on the drum buss, gtrs, and even the master buss.
If only Vtape had pre-emphasis like Voxengos Tapebuss it would be the best high freq. transient tamer out there. More plugins should have adjustable pre-emphasis. For realistic Tube saturation, Predatohm is amazing! Urs Sat is good, but a bit overrated. |
