Nice audio fattening without obvious distortion.Pinkfloydian5 wrote: Fri Aug 23, 2024 1:42 am Hi there! i'm looking for recommendations for saturators that don't tear the sound, but are harmonious, with a pleasant sound. Thank youhahaha

Just try the free gsat+ or $10 xsat and dial in even harmonics to taste.

Yes, GSat+ is good: https://www.tbproaudio.de/products/gsatplus
And if you want something refined and subtle, try TDR's SlickEQ (free/paid versions): https://www.tokyodawn.net/tdr-vos-slickeq/

That update is unusable and especially that setting. The output gain drops a crazy amount and you can't even compensate for it with the output gain. I am not aware of any newer betas so i am assuming its still in that stateHavok wrote: Fri Aug 23, 2024 3:08 pm For a high quality saturator you can't go wrong with Tone Projects - Kelvin
If you're looking for the Neve "Silk" circuit then it's recently been added to SKnote AnyTesla

I have so many saturation plugins, and I still come back to this one all the time. It's one of my favorite plugins ever, just a huge sweet spot.
If you're using Cubase, Magneto and especially SoftClipper are great for this as well.

Spectre by wavesfactory is the best I've used for that more subtle saturation including the Neve type silk.
It's designed to be used in parallel and you can really zone in on whatever frequencies you want.
You also have multiple algorithms to choose from.

I can't believe nobody mentioned Cassiopeia by Klanghabitat. Fuse Audio Labs VPRE-72, Black Rooster Audio VPRE-73 are great, too.

Thanks, but I was kinda kiddin', since "mojo" is a similarly vague term as "silk" and the question would doubtlessly just as well lead to everyone either listing their favourites (or alternatively whatever's coincidentally on the top of their head atm) - i.e. I don't think the result would significantly differ regardless of whether one would ask for "silk", "mojo", "Warmth", "girth" or whatever else - one could just as well ask "what's the best saturator" and would still end up with the same nigh endless list of plugin suggestions.The Noodlist wrote: Mon Aug 26, 2024 9:30 amAcustica Fire The Gold & Black both are freejens wrote: Fri Aug 23, 2024 11:43 am I'm looking for mojo - any recommendations?
