Newfangled Audio Saturate - Clip Without Clipping
Saturate brings the legendary "Detail Preserving Clipper" from the Elevate Mastering Limiter into your session as a stand-alone plug-in. The goal: more loudness, more character and more assertiveness, without your tracks losing their subtlety or the Mix sounding "tubby" and clogged. or individual sounds, drum busses or the complete Mix - Saturate delivers controlled saturation and hard to soft clipping in studio quality.
Why Saturate makes sense in every Mix
Classic clippers cut transients - and often take away the very details that make a sound come alive. Saturate goes one step further: the Detail Preservation Engine treats frequency components independently of each other. This preserves presence, air and texture, even if you cut up to 24 dB Overdrive. The result: loud, grippy, open - instead of muddy.
From subtle to uncompromising
You just want a little more density on vocals or bass? No problem. You need aggressive hip-hop drum punch, EDM loudness or rock grit?Saturate can do just that - thanks to the shape control, which seamlessly blends between an ultra-smooth soft curve and hard-hitting hard clipping. This allows you to quickly find the sweet spot between transparency and attitude.
For tracks, busses and mastering
Saturate is not just an effect, but a finishing tool. With separate input/output controls and auto level compensation, you can compare the level cleanly and adjust it precisely. The saturation curve with metering shows you immediately how your signal is clipping - ideal for fast, reliable work.
