Bedroom Producers Blog releases BPB Saturator, a freeware tube and tape saturation effect in VST, VST3, AU, and AAX plugin formats for digital audio workstations on Windows 10 and macOS. BPB Saturator is a freeware waveshaping saturation plugin. It is our holiday gift to you. Thanks for reading Bedroom Producers Blog! ❤ The plugin emulates tube-style distortion and tape-style saturation. It is optimized to sound great, albeit with low CPU consumption. We wanted to create a saturation tool that is lightweight and easy to use. Emulate a tube preamp by applying a bit of tube saturation, then simulate passing your audio through a tape machine with a bit of tape saturation. Or, go crazy and boost the input to use BPB saturator as a dual distortion effect. BPB Saturator also features a pair of filters (high-pass and low-pas) that are smooth and transparent. Use the filters to clean up the signal, or to isolate a section of the signal that needs to be distorted. For example, try removing the top end from a bass sound, then add plenty of tube drive for a more aggressive sound. How To Use BPB Saturator? BPB Saturator is the more nuanced follow-up to our BPB Dirty Filter plugin. Whereas BPB Dirty Filter excels at over-the-top distorted sounds with plenty of filter resonance, BPB Saturator can deliver a far more subtle form of saturation. You can use BPB Saturator to warm up virtual instruments, drum loops, bass sounds, or even the entire mix. Experiment with applying a subtle amount of tube saturation first to drive the signal. Then, add some tape saturation to introduce odd harmonics and level out any excess volume peaks. |
