Saturation and distortion - the secret sauce
Posted by Zofia Wiśniewska (brand_manager) in production-tips
Want your beats to sound fuller and more analog? Saturation is the answer:
- Tape saturation on the master bus (subtle!)
- Tube saturation on bass/808 for warmth
- Distortion on drums for grit
- Waveshaping on synths for character
Free plugins: Softube Saturation Knob, Camel Crusher, Airwindows
Paid favorites: Soundtoys Decapitator, FabFilter Saturn
My beatcorelab beats all have subtle saturation on the master. It's the difference between "clean" and "warm."
What's your favorite saturation plugin?
