24 Karat Recordings CSAWA Context-Sensitive Adaptive Waveshaper. Saturation that reads your audio and adapts in real time. Warmth and density without losing punch.
Free plugin. Free download.
Adaptive by design
Saturation that listens. Most saturators hit every sound the same way. CSAW analyses the incoming audio and adapts in real time, easing back on sharp transients and bright material, driving more harmonic weight into denser, darker sounds. The result is musical, transparent character that works with your audio, not against it.
