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.See also: Top 100 Christmas 2020 Plugin Deals & Freebies!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.Another rather obvious (and often overlooked method) to make your digital audio “more analog” is to remove the extreme high frequencies. For example, to warm up a virtual synthesizer, add a small amount of tape saturation, then apply a subtle high-frequency cut with the low-pass filter.The plugin features a resizable user interface. If you’re using a high-resolution screen, click the 4K button in the upper-right corner to double to GUI size. You can also right-click the plugin to select the preferred GUI size.Download BPB SaturatorYou can download BPB Saturator for free exclusively at Bedroom Producers Blog.

To make it a fair comparison this is based on the Softube Webstore prices.S 73 75 intro 99 regular Drawmer 1973249 regular199 intro149 cross grade for previous S73 owners99 hand in/exchange for previous S73 ownersCombined purchase optionBoth plugins bought at regular price 348 (end up with two plugins)Both plugins bought at intro price 274 (end up with two plugins)Cross grade at regular price 248 (end up with two plugins)Cross grade at intro price 226 (end up with two plugins)Hand in option when S73 was purchased at regular price 198 (end up with one plugin)Hand in option when S73 was purchased at intro price 174 (end up with one plugin)All in all fair and quality move from Softube and some nice brain joggin while I had my break and coffee. class response, softube!just one note... if softube can make the exchange available via 3rd party resellers... I don't quite get why the "upgrade" or "crossgrade" couldn't also be implemented via resellers, as well. some people might would opt to keep both, with a better reseller "upgrade" price (though I don't think i'd be one of them).

Quote: Based on a “best of the best” list of vintage classic reverbs, and sprinkled with a taste of modern high end units and a heaping spoonful of Softube’s own mojo, the TSAR-1 brings affordable pro-quality algorithmic environmental processing to Native platforms (Mac/PC; VST/AU/RTAS); approximate street price: $299.99. A nice addition to the reverb market by Softube. I believe demos will be available starting tomorrow.

2025-04-10Plug-in chains (VST and AU plug-ins) to process multibands in Pro Tools. Watch our review below. iZtope Multiband Dynamics - Neutron Multiband processors are at the heart of many iZotope plug-ins such as Ozone, Trash and Neutron. The multiband compressor in Neutron though, it's a different animal featuring two types of compressor behaviours described by iZotope as Clean Modern or Colourful Vintage. The multiband compressor modules in Neutron can be used with the smart Track Assist feature that listens to audio offering mixing start points.A separate multiband compressor component plug-in is also available called Neutron Compressor - available as part of Neutron Advanced. What I like most about the Neutron multiband compressor plug-in is the mix blend control on each band, great for dialling back in some unprocessed audio for nice transparent glue like results. Sadly this multiband compressor only offers three bands, truth be told though, three bands are often enough. Visit the iZotope website for more information about NeutronSoftube Drawmer S73 & 1973Review - Softube Drawmer S73 Review - Softube Drawmer 1973 In 2016 Softube released two multiband compressor plug-ins bearing the Drawmer name. The S73 was the first out of the two to be released and was loosely based on the Drawmer 1973 hardware. Softube describes the S73 as an intelligent mastering processor that makes using multiband compression quick and easy. The S73 features a selection of carefully tuned presets, select a sound that works and blend it in. Watch our review to hear how the S73 performs on several mastering examples.Soon after the release of S73 Softube unsurprisingly released the full Drawmer 1973 plug-in emulation of the 1973 hardware. The 1973 felt like a completely different product to the S73 as it seemed to cater more to the hardware purist or Drawmer fanboy. Both products are
2025-03-29Over the years, I’ve come into the possession of countless plugins. Some have been great investments, while others have made their way to the bottom of my production toolkit, never to be seen again. In particular, I’ve found that saturation plugins can be extremely hit or miss.There’s no such thing as the “best” saturator, but there are saturators that rise above the rest when challenged with certain tasks. Perhaps you’re looking for a saturator that’s going to thicken up your drums, or maybe you’re looking for a saturator specifically for mastering.With that in mind, rather than try to create a comprehensive list of all the saturators out there, I’ve broken this list down by application, and picked my top, tried-and-true favorite for each category. Read on below for my top picks, along with the sources I’ve found them to be best suited for.Best for Vocal Saturation: SDRR by Klanghelm ($27)Klanhelm’s inexpensive SDRR plugin works phenomenally well on vocals. If you’re looking for some subtle saturation that’s going to add that extra little bit of missing warmth and really sweeten up your vocals, the SDRR is what you’re looking for. A huge step up from most stock saturators, the SDRR has quickly become one of my go-to saturators.SDRR has 4 distinct modes: “Tube” emulates analog tube saturation; “Digi” emulates modern, digital saturation; “Fuzz” emulates distortion caused by germanium fuzz stomp boxes; and “Desk” Emulates the sound of analog mixing consoles. Each of these modes react dynamically to the input signal, so
