This works for any other purchase too! 💻 PLUGINS: Plugins Masters https://eu.pluginsmasters.com/?aff=9 --- You add distortion to a track, you turn the knob until it "sounds better"... but if someone asked you why you chose THIS distortion over another, what would you say? It's a question we all ask ourselves at some point. We hear about tape, tube, transistor, digital... and we often end up choosing by feel, without really knowing what each type does to our signal. In this video, André takes the time to break down the main families of distortion—tape, tube, transistor, digital, wavefolder, pentode, and fuzz—and especially what really differentiates them, both to the ear and visually. The idea: so you can finally choose your sound with full knowledge, and not out of habit. To make all this concrete, André uses UB DSP's Grit Blender, a plugin from a French company that allows you to blend several types of saturation and visualize what is added to or removed from the sound. You'll discover: What concretely distinguishes tape, tube, and solid-state synthesizers Why saturation can "dress up" a sound or, conversely, destroy it How digital saturation (and the wavefolder) creates those lo-fi textures What the pentode and fuzz really bring to the table How to think about choosing saturation in a real-world mixing context A little transparency: UB DSP sent us Grit Blender for free to test, but this video is not sponsored—André simply wanted to share it. Note: the plugin is only available as VST and AU (no AAX for Pro Tools). 00:00 - Start 01:09 - Intro to the topic 05:25 - 1 - Tape 08:01 - 2 - Tubes 10:16 - 3 - Transistors 12:52 - Grit Blender - Key Tracking 14:32 - 4 - Digital 16:41 - 5 - Wavefold 18:57 - 6 - Pentode 20:42 - 7 - Fuzz 🎥 Links and videos related to this video: Adding character, excitement, and punch?
