Best Saturation For Specific Instruments

[Recycled_Brains]

+1, though I never got the Tchad Blake presets, i'll have to do some digging! I love it on vocals - usually start with the "punk vox" preset and tweak/blend from there. Even for quiet, singer-songwriter type stuff. just a tiny bit blended in helps fill it out.

I do often use it on my 2-bus, also, after compression/EQ but before my limiter. I just use the "E" mode and usually just a little bit, but I always like what it does.

I also really like the UAD Studer in 30ips mode - does nice things to the low end!

The E mode is the one I never use. Something about it just doesn't do it for me, but I could see how it could be cool on the mix buss since it does that smiley face thing a bit. I'll have to try it some more. Definitely get the Tchad presets. They're great. Currently using 2 of them on the vocals for my band's thing. We like our vocals blown to bits.

Thanks for this. I remember reading about the Tchad Black presets a long time ago. How do you install them?

IIRC, I just found the Soundtoys folder in my applications, opened the sub-folder for Decapitator, and dropped the folder with the presets in there. You should see the subfolders for the other preset categories in there too. That would be the give away that you're in the right place.
