Voxengo VariSaturator
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!
Jonathan LeeDear Voxengo guys,
Thank you , thank you, thank you! I just want to express my appreciation for your outstanding products. There is nothing on the plug-in market even close to the quality you offer. I have bought seven of your plug-ins and I'm using them in all my productions from now on. They are just amazing, period.
If you could come up with a vocal tuner as well, I'd buy it faster than lightning.
Many tanks and best wishes to all of you guys! Kind regards
