ADSR are offering 51% off God Mode, a saturation plugin by Denise Audio, now only £23.75, (usually £55.64). The offer ends January 17th.
God Mode makes use of a new push-pull technology inspired by the legendary analogue Pultec EQ, a passive tube eq from the 50s, widely used in the 70s/80s for both broadcasting and mixing. The Pultec EQ would ‘push’ the gain for a certain frequency range into its tube circuit, and would then ‘pull’ it back again, to smooth out the frequency response. This creates a sound close to the original but with a nice warmth added to the boosted frequency ranges. God Mode introduces a modern version of this technique.
The first step to using God Mode is to boost or ‘push’ certain frequencies in your track that you like to be more saturated or distorted. You can, for example, use one shelf to boost the highs and one peak to boost a certain colour or resonance. Because you push these frequencies harder into the saturation algorithm, they will be naturally more affected by it. The second step is to decide if and how much ‘pull’ to apply to the boosted frequencies. This gives you creative control over the amount of colouration and the option to create a perfectly balanced frequency response for your track. The result: a beautifully saturated signal, specifically coloured according to the frequencies ‘pushed’.
The God Mode doesn’t stop there though. It has a ‘live’ mode for recording, that uses regular filters without latency instead of linear phase filters. It has a side-chain to create rhythmic distortion effects, and you can pan the wet and dry sound individually. In addition, one of the three drive effects uses a ‘on steroids’ version of the Tape Analog VM™ algorithm from the Bad Tape. It allows for subtle saturation on the master as well as crazy over the top distortion effects on bass, vocals and synths.
Features include:
- Super easy to use Graph
- Unique Push & Pull technology
- Tape Analog VM™ algorithm on steroids also featured in denise’ Bad Tape plugin
- Linear Phase Filters: Pristine sound quality and in-phase dry/wet mixing
- Individual dry/wet panning
- Live recording Mode
- Create rhythmical drive with the ‘side-tape’ side chain
- Subtle to extreme use on single track instruments, busses & mastering
Lazer sharp tool for creating a massive and controlled low end for your tracks in seconds. compression and EQ: eat your heart out.
The Bass XL adds weight and also works great on melodic content. Enhance a bass or electric guitar, a kick drum, sub-bass, percussion track or a whole drum sub-mix.
What’s great about the Bass XL is how fast and precisely you can work with it. Choose which frequency to boost, apply the boost with the mix control and then choose a filter slope to set the width of the boost. Steep slopes make the boost sound more resonant and precise, while gentle slopes make the boost sound more gradual and warm. Saturate and colour the sound with the drive and tone control. Repeat steps until happy with the results. For an extra tight or loose sound, use the ‘position’ to move the bass boost backwards and forwards in time.
Features include:
- Tone Dial – Full control over the character and colour of your boost.
- Volume Independent Drive – A consistent sound in dynamic tracks.
- Low CPU usage – Different filter slopes and position the low-end boost in time.
- Easy to Use – Simple for creating a massive and controlled low end.
- No need for dongles or complex licence managers.
- Fully resizable interface
Both plugins are available to PC and Mac users (VST2, VST3, AU and AAX).
