Voxengo VariSaturator

I have just finished mastering 'Is there time' by Rail Road Riders.

Most of the songs needed some final flavour and with Varisaturator I obtained what was needed.  It is very easy to use.  I flipped through the various proposed settings and quickly found what I was looking for for each individual song and all I needed to do therefater was a small adjustment with the available analogue like bottoms.

I used Varisaturated after the EQ (Voxengo GlissEQ) and before the final limiting.

Great tool Aleksey!

In electronic music, many sounds are very much "upfront".  OTT is what many choose for this purpose.

However, I have found that Varisaturator is much better in place of OTT when it comes to this purpose.  Much more controllable and much smoother (even though OTT is multiband compression and Varisaturator is multiband saturation/inflation) In most cases where I would choose OTT, I am using Varisaturator instead for the same purpose and it does the job much better.  This small change has improved my mixes for electronic music a lot.

Second thing is soft clipping with OVC-128 on buses to smooth and contain, then followed by high end expansion with Soniformer to rebuild some dynamics and transients is an amazing combination.  Smooth, contained and dynamic.

Always finding new relationships and uses with your plugins, thanks!

I am so thankful for the tools that you have made.  I am able to achieve control over sound that is simply impossible with "two-knob plugins." They certainly have their place, but I prefer to understand the character of different flavors of sound and mix/transform music with conscious intention, just as songwriters do so when creating their work initially.  Your tools enable me to express what I see/hear in my mind's eye/ ear.
