With an intro price plus my jam points, that could bring it in to the realm of mere mortals such as I.

Or just wait 6 months until they literally give it away for free...

Peter posted the below comment in the thread titled "What are you using to meet all your saturation/coloring needs?":

Or the new IK S........-X

So it's saturation/"coloring" of some sort. It starts with S and ends with a hyphened X.

Saturator-X?

Also I don't get all the IK bashing.

Hmmm, there's quite a few IK products a bit older than 6 months, I've not been given any of them for free. I've had the Classic Compressor, Opto Compressor and a few odds-and-sods in Amplitube for free but they've all been quite old.

Still, maybe you're right, and I look forward to the Lurssen Mastering Console appearing in my available plugins any day soon.

Yes, he and other Grammy Award–winning artists, songwriters, and producers will probably use it just like with other IK products. Thanks for pointing that out.
Just poking fun. I love some of your products - the classic comp you gave away is a daily part of my mastering work so many thanks for that.
Well I was only hoping that you were half-joking so that exceeds my expectation 2x Thanks for that, the freebie is a cool one, even if it has been out for a while, for sure.

It has a gluing effect that's unique in my plugin collection. For some tracks it's exactly what I need to stick everything together nicely. It does tend to narrow the stereo field a bit on some tracks so the stereo widener knob is perfect to counteract this. For other tracks it brings a subtle and quite transparent 'density' when I need it too. I've also used it with up to 10 dB gain reduction on very lively vocals - lovely

It's certainly one I reach for more and more now.

Well, the wait is over:

Hmmmm, €96 with VAT. Even with 30% off in jampoints, it's too rich for me. Shame, cos it looks great and the video sounded great too

Yes, good catch. I also updated the original post with what's below (as well as the thread title):

UPDATE - T-RackS Saturator X has been released. Visit http://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/trsaturatorx for more information.

Hard to tell exactly from the video.. seems like a compressor with smoothing on top? that is.. is this pushing the level to clip and once it does, this seems to smooth or soften the gnarlyness. Maybe some form of EQ is working ?

What about this compared to u-he Satin?

Tried it on one of my old mixed but unmastered tracks and yes, it added some really nice 3-D/depth to stereo image (don't know exactly what).

Unfortunately it's little bit too expensive for my current plugin budget...

Totally forgot the JamPoints! Ok, so that would be 69 euros then. Not bad. But do I REALLY need it? Sounds good though...

The market for saturators is becoming, hmm, saturated.
SDRR, Satin, Britson/Satson, bx_saturator, et al...

This is unfortunately a damn fine plugin. First few minutes of testing are very positive.. and I say unfortunate because I was planning on getting rid of all my IK plugins.

There are enough alternatives.. We talking about nuances or?

Do I get a prize for guessing correctly before the announcement?
