Infuse your tracks with the natural vibe of analog gear.

Try it on vocals, drums, guitars, synths-anything that sounds a little too polite! Each model has its own sound of beautiful agony when you hit the Punish button and crank it up. Decapitator gives you those unique qualities that only come from driving high-end studio gear. When you drive it hard it reacts just like great analog gear-it screams in pain.Īnd Soundtoys are not talking about fizzy stomp-box distortion. That’s why Soundtoys added the Punish button, which kicks in an extra chunk of gain to push Decapitator over the edge. By adding an analog-modeled tone control and mix knob, Soundtoys opened up the sonic potential of these models even more.ĭecapitator is capable of some wonderfully subtle sounds, but Soundtoys know that sometimes subtle just won’t do it. Then Soundtoys created painstakingly accurate models and made them instantly accessible. Soundtoys picked the pieces of gear they felt had the most distinctive sound and had unique character when used both subtly and at extremes.

In creating Decapitator, Soundtoys collected and analyzed both vintage and modern hardware - consoles, preamps, input channels, EQs, compressors and studio distortion units. That means you can hear subtle changes as Decapitator reacts to a track and follows the dynamics of an instrument. Not a static snapshot, but a changing responsive model of all those tubes, wires and transistors. Soundtoys worked hard to capture the feel of analog gear. Combine all of this with the flexibility and reliability of a Soundtoys plug-in, and you’ve got the best of analog and digital together in one essential effect.ĭecapitator is not just a simple approximation of the analog sound. Soundtoys also included a modelled tone control that lets you shape the saturated sound and mix control that lets you blend in some dry signal for parallel processing without the need for routing and sub-mixes. With five different analog saturation models to choose from, Decapitator is perfect for adding character to every kind of track and instrument in your mixes. That’s why Soundtoys took their time, studied all the great analog classics, and painstakingly created a plug-in that brings the best of analog saturation to your digital studio.

Engineers use saturation to beef things up, thin them out, give them an edge, add warmth, pull elements out of the mix, and create signature sounds.įrom the very subtle to the extreme, analog saturation is an integral part of great mixes. The sound of tubes, transistors, and circuitry being pushed to the limit has long been the key ingredient in great-sounding analog recordings. Saturation - it’s the essence of what makes analog hardware sound so musical and pleasing to the ears. Subtle to Extreme H ardware-Modelled Saturation.
