Now this rack will be silent, only the frequencies you boost will saturate.The term “analog modelling” is pretty broad, anything can be termed a model of something no matter how bad the model is. * If you need more complexity than that, you could put a flat saturator in a chain with a utility set to invert, make a new parallel chain with EQ8 and saturator. If you racked three parallel, and map them to macros, you'd get a 3 band parametric saturator. There are a lot of ways to implement frequency specific shaping, there are some features buit directly into the saturator itself under "color", which has a one-band parametric sweep and a bass boost. Unless you are refering to the gain difference, in which case see below * The difference is in volume/gain parameters on that single stream. In short, there are no separate " bands" to operate on. īut the "bands" of EQ8 arent crossed-over parallel processed bands, they are simply all operating on the same stream. If I would want that in a static device, then sure I could set it up in a rack. That way I could drive the lows hard, leave the mids alone and gently drive the highs. I appreciate the input, but I guess what I really want is the soft clip (or wave shaper as you say) for each band of EQ8. I don t even use the modulation capabilities of it and that's one of the main attractions! Although the modulation is off topic. It's one of the few plugins that is used on every project, it's seriously good. Whilst it's a multi-band processor rather than offering EQ curves, the amount/quality of distortion types and the ability to really shape each band is unrivaled IMO.Įvery band has dynamics, volume, 10 or so high quality distortion types, tone shaper, blah blah blah
CYTOMIC THE GLUE VS ABLETON GLUE HOW TO
I have been thinking about how to achieve something like this for a while now, but nothing satisfactory came to mind.įab Filter Saturn could be a really good investment for you. AND I wouldn't have that great visual representation of all bands in the same window. Setting this up in a rack seems impossible, because the additive volume would change all the time when I move the bands in the different EQ8s around. Determening how hard I drive each band with the gain of that band. But I would like to move the frequencies and gains of all bands with knobs in real time.

I have been thinking about how to achieve something like this for a while now, but nothing satisfactory came to mind. I'd guess at the one called "medium curve"Īll waveshapers are very susceptible to frequency aliasing, so the higher your sample rate, the more likely you'll get nicer results. You can pick out a curve somewhat similar to the one described in Cytomic Glue. The Ableton Saturator is also an oversampling waveshaper (I think it's also 2x). It is linear up -2.0 dB then has a smooth curve to -0.5 dB and then is horizontal. It is in effect a zero attack time, zero release time peak level compressor which fixed infinite ratio and medium knee.
