Cool, going to check out Audience Choir. I need to start creating music, instead of downloading my 10th compressor or EQ I will never use. Stop the plugin download OCD! 😂
Saturation is a subtle distortion. Depending on the saturation type it can either add an edgier sound (even harmonics) or it can add a more full and thicker sound (odd harmonics) to your tracks. Warmth is typically when you add the odd harmonics which would be that more full sound from saturation and it tends to smooth out the mid lows and lows, adding a bit of thickness to a track to not only make it sound more pleasing to the ear but also it can help the track to stand out in a mix a bit more. When to use either type of saturation kind of depends on your musical taste and style. Plus it also depends on the individual tracks and the overall mix. You can use saturation/warmth stylistically to give your song a different sort of vibe, typically kind of overdoing it so it’s more noticeable. Or use it to enhance individual tracks so they sit better in the mix, this would be a more subtle use of saturation that’s not overly noticeable. Saturation can be used on individual tracks, busses and on your entire mix. A lot of people like to add a bit of classic tape saturation to their final mix before they render it. Tape saturation can help to round out the low end and take some of the highs plus it can blend everything together in a pleasing way. There is no real absolute with it. You don’t absolutely need to have it on any of your tracks or mixes but it can be a pleasing effect. I like to use saturation on my basses to thicken them up. I will add more saturation to electric guitars that are a little harsh or bland. I really like using saturation on vocals to add some thickness and I tend to go a little more excessive with it on vocals because I like a bit of more noticeable distortion on vocals. Drums are another spot I use saturation, sometimes in the entire drum bus, or individual drums and the overheads. It all depends on the vibe of the song. I pretty much always add a small amount of tape saturation to the entire mix for the reasons I mentioned earlier. If you aren’t using some form of saturation already, start to experiment with it a bit to see what you might like it on.
Thanks, Zane. Great explanation. I was kind of dumb where saturation was concerned. I like the idea of tape saturation if I know how to use it.@@AudioTechTV
Hey Zane! Got a tip for a free plugin for you: Its called ZL Equalizer - a fantastic 16 band dynamic eq with sidechain option, lookahead and much more!
I did try that one. I had some reasons why I didn’t include it, but it is a great free EQ plugin. Thank you for the heads up on it and for continuing to watch. Keep creating! 👊👍
Have you looked at Spitfire Audio Labs Strings? You can also look at their BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover plugin. They might have some other violin plugins too. Lots of great free stuff on the Spitfire Audio site.
