Wonderful plugin.

I'm using it all the time now. I've just bought U-he Satin too, and I found that SDRR and Satin work very well together. Now I just need more cpu power, my laptop struggles a bit with these two fellas

I'm thinking of jumping on this but how does it compare to something like CamelPhat for example?

When mouse clicking the knobs I get an initial glitchy click sound.
Continued mouse clicking of same knob does not make the click sound.
Mouse click another knob and the glitchy click can be heard.
Continued mouse clicking of same knob is fine.
Etc

Win8 32bit
Ableton Live9
Lenovo T60
Core2duo

So nobody else have this issue?

More saturation controls and 4 modes, probably.

This year has really graced us with some better sounding saturation and distortion plugins. Camelphat is a bit old DSP. Not that it sounds bad, though, if you like it. I've got a ton of saturation plugins... that I don't use any more because the new ones sound better.

Take Thrillseeker LA and VBL, for example. I do like Studio Devil plugins a lot, too. If you don't crank them to 2am they can sound very convincing, even at 2am, well even at 4am for that matter, depending on the genre of music.

Well remember it's not only saturation plugin. The distortion sounds awesomely good too, better then almost any other plugin and it's easy to tweak to get the result you want.

The phase response in the highs could be a bit better, according to times. I prefer it flat there nowadays... I'm speaking of IVGI, but I suppose it's the same with SDRR. However, it's how it sounds that matters, not what the fancy graphs tell you, eh? Or eh. I just don't like it. Check it for yourself in the VST analyser.

Does anyone know by "make sure the needle hits at around 0db," in the IVGI manual, do they mean on average or the absolute ceiling? I've been doing okay going in the red for about 50% of the time, judging by how it sounds, but...

almost certainly average, as it's a vu (averaging) meter. use your ears, if it sounds good, it is good!

anyone tried using this in conjunction with Satin? I might give this a go today - could either be too over the top or work quite well if used subtly.

Also, what is a good starting patch for general purpose saturation of digital harshness in high hats?

Hey everyone, I've been enjoying SDRR so much that i decided to throw together a couple comparison clips.

First is Desk mode in a mastering context so it is very subtle.

On: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/321 ... 20SDRR.mp3

Next up is growling heavy vocals, so it is much more obvious this time. Fuzz mode

Well, it's not really a fair comparison. CamelPhat is a tweakers laboratory.

It does quite a few things more than this plugin was ever designed to do.

Whether its saturation 'phatness' algo is as great, I'm not sure anyone can say. You might like it or not. That is probably why CamelPhat costs a bit more..

CamelPhat is like a one-stop shop for drum phattening goodness

..

It freqs, it filters, it does all kinds of stuff. It's best not to compare.

I think it is pretty safe to say, you need CamelPhat in your audio life, but it would mean nothing without a bit of SDRR.

Your drums...

Hey Tony,

Congrats to the release of SDRR. Of course, I bought it the moment it came out. Excellent stuff at an unbeatable price.

BTW, in case you don't know what to do next: how about a nice gate (as in noise gate, not trance gate)? I'd love to see the super flexible detection circuitry of DC8C controlling a gate. That plus a mid/side mode and highly configurable sidechain mixing+routing would make a great plugin IMO.

Regards,
Andre

Phase response in the highs is probably a big part of what makes it sound "analogue". Try measuring any of your outboard gear and look at the phase response after 10kHz?
