Hey guys, I've had some really sweet results mastering with sausage fattener. 5% fatness, 5% color and messing with the gain nob allows my track to be pretty loud, but not make the threshhold on my limiter go down too much! I think this is awesome because it still allows my track to keep it's natural sound because I find that my sound gets messed up when I push the limiter a little too far and the volume is much quieter without the sausage fattener. Experiment with it and let me know your results too

why should it be loud in the first place? there's always ReplayGain and the volume knob.

truth is, for the most part people don't care. and those who do care are either marketing drones (this is quieter than <insert recent release here>!) which aren't your target audience anyway, or people who will thank you for not squashing every last bit if dynamics out of your track. and probably such people also know how to level volumes (DJ's and all) and/or use volume knob (music lovers).

I'm vegetarian, anyone knows if this is also good for soy sausages ?

Yeah, the 'Foie Gras' plugin...it has a nice ring to it. Mind you, chances are that PETA will come and smash up my studio if they found out...

louder sounds better and small differences do matter. often the first reaction to "hmm this sounds a bit weak" will not be to turn up the volume but rather to switch back to guetta.

convenience trumps aesthetics for a vast majority of people.

that being said, people don't explicitly care about a record being louder. few will admit stupidity.

Crysonic nxtasy 2 does a good job for analogue warmth and harmonix,

I turn of the second dial and it soon fattens up, another and you get some proper grit. Just tried the new vox warmifier, sure adds some warm air and depth but the processor hits 50% like soniformer.. But well worth it. Havent tried DADAlife fattener but i read that all the "Trance Pros" are hitting it hard, sure Tiesto was saying that it was one of those "wonder plugs" but ive heard it so many times and found that its just the same process with a different interface that i have already in other plugins. Like to know what it does in terms of adding harmonix,
it sound a bit like the sonnox inflater
