Satin is one of my favorite saturation plugins since it offers truly convincing tape machine emulation and a wide array of functions that let you dial in the sound that you want. Additionally, the compression section lets you add some soft-knee compression – indicative of saturation. You can then equalize the full signal, and if you want, add convolution reverb and delay. Within the shape section, you can alter the distortions behavior, and double click to create very unique distortion types. With it, you can create up to 4 bands, each of which can include 2 distortion filters. Additionally, Trash 2 gives you immense control by giving your multiple distortion types and letting you control the shape and drive of the distortion. Trash 2 is a unique saturator plugin with a wide range of distortion and compression types, as well as additional functions to emulate various processors. If you’re using this plugin for saturation, be sure the compression and saturation tabs are enabled. The features on the bottom don’t greatly affect saturation, but if we click the settings icon we see we have a lot to work with. This is paired with the 4 different tape types, each with different frequency responses, levels of distortion, and points of saturation. You can switch between 3 tape deck types, for high, mid, and low fidelity. Whereas other cassette saturators keep to only a few functions, this one is definitely different and better thought out. If you’re looking for fantastic cassette emulation, Cassette by Waves Factory is a comprehensive emulator and saturator that gives you an immense amount of control over your signal.
