Multiband Compressor vs BLEASS Saturator

KEY FEATURES 1. Ultra-clean algorithm. Less than -140 dB harmonic distortion across all settings 2. Clean and simple interface 3. Side chain input with full band and band limited modes 4. High-resolution spectrum analyser displays the input and output volume at each frequency ULTRA LOW DISTORTION COMPRESSOR ALGORITHM This unique envelope follower design ensures harmonic distortion of less than -140 dB for the full range of compressor settings. There is no cleaner compressor on the app store. SIDE CHAIN INPUT In host apps that support multi-input audio units you can use this app to achieve the pumping side chain effect typically heard in electronic dance music where the synth and other background instruments duck their volume in deference to the kick drum on every beat. The side chain input of this plugin has two modes. In full-spectrum mode each frequency band is compressed according to the volume of the full spectrum of sidechain input. In single-band mode each band is compressed based on the side chain level in only that frequency band itself. COMPRESSOR CONTROLS Each of up to four bands has eight compressor settings. They are input gain, output gain, attack time, release time, threshold, ratio, soft/hard knee, and wet mix.

BLEASS Saturator is a creative saturation and distortion toolbox that lets you stamp your authority all over your audio. Roast your basses, crush your drums, and make your leads explode from a mix, all from the relaxing comfort of the plugin’s colourful and intuitive interface. The Drive module introduces analogue-style overdrive into your signal, from a gentle warming all the way to a veritable roasting. The module’s built in EQ allows precise control over the tonal character of the saturation as well. The Waveshaper distorts your audio using a second waveform. The way this happens depends upon the waveshaping algorithm that is used – BLEASS Saturator has nine to choose from. The algorithm has a significant impact on the character of the distortion that is produced. With its clear visualisation, and detailed-but-intuitive control over key parameters of the waveshaping algorithms, the Waveshaper module offers a near infinite choice of sonic colourations and distortions. BLEASS Saturator’s Bit module simulates the distortion characteristics of analogue-to-digital conversion. We’re all familiar with the pristine sound quality that is produced when both sample rate and bit depth are suitably high, but dragging these values down can create wonderful glitches and distortions that are fundamentally digital in character. Further creative possibilities are presented by the option of applying the Bit module either before or after the Waveshaper module. The built-in LFO can be routed to any of the plugin’s parameters, and can be synced to the host’s beat and tempo. This allows you to explore evolving, shifting and rhythmic distortions that would be hard to achieve with conventional saturators. Gentle settings can create pleasingly warm and fuzzy results, but despite its small footprint and lightweight CPU usage, BLEASS Saturator has the strength to hit your audio like a ton of bricks!
