Voxengo VariSaturator

As good as waves NLS with the option to design console saturation, tube harmonics and Tube Grit and distortion, this is THE CONSOLE EMULATOR, it is what lampthruster was trying to achieve which I still have and use often.  The sound is Exceptional and I rate voxengo FX as an alternative for musical enthusiasts who cant afford the big name FX, but voxengo FX are even better than some of the "suggested by pros" FX vsts and give many a run for their money.  Soniformer 3 is the best processor for mastering I have ever used with the only downside being the processor hit and it has an excellent vintage tape vibe

Varisaturator is such a great sounding plugin that can do so many things beyond saturation and adding harmonics.

When driven hard with a high FX level (hard mode), the dual band inflation can be used like OTT to bring forward the sound.  Some simple rebalancing of the high and low bands will achieve that bright sound, but in a much smoother way.

It can also be used like an EQ.  With the proper crossover frequency and input level, bringing up the FX level on the high band can achieve a lush sounding non-linear high boost that is much more rich, smooth and full than a simple high shelf boost.  I've tried this technique with many other plugins, but the digital waveshaping in Varisaturator is simply the smoothest and richest one!  The valve algorithm is also a nice option to warm up the highs.

The mid/side processing in Varisaturator is also very useful, especially on ambiences.  It really brings out the best in airy stereo signals like nothing else.

The workflow is simple and straightforward to manage the high and low bands.  You can link the controls on both bands with the right click, then individually tweak each band with the left click.

I am still finding many new uses for this plugin, and I don't think I could produce or mix without it!
