The Decapitator Native plug-in by SoundToys elevates the phenomenon of analog saturation to an art! Nothing beats the way that bold and cohesive saturation brings a mix together.

Select from five different saturation modes and add spice to your bass, turn up the heat on your guitars and vocals, and beef up your kick drums. And when you want to unleash pure brutality, just punch in the Punishment button.

Amazing plug to help sounds cut through a mix - synths, drums, vocals, anything! Beefing up the drum buss with parallel distortion is awesome. Demoing = get your credit card out

I have been working with SoundToys Decapitator for 3 weeks. So far it has added a new dimension to our mixes. On bass and drums it gives a lot of guts and in a hurry. It does not take long to enhance ... read more [+]a track to give it a bottom sound that you used to get with analog tape.

Sweetwater Advice

Josh Estock
If you want your mixes to punch you in the face everytime you press PLAY, SoundToys Decapitator is the plugin for you. You can put it on anything and use the "Mix" knob to adjust to taste. It will do anything from subtle tape saturation to track-smashing goodness!
Charlie Davis
After working with SoundToys Decapitator for the first time this past weekend, I don't think I can ever mix again without it. Excellent directly on a track to warm it up, or as a side-chain with the Punish button pressed. Absolutely great!
Carson McClain
SoundToys Decapitator Native: BRUTAL beyond belief!! That's not to say that you can't get subtle saturation with this as well. I find this to be a "go to" plug-in for any type of saturation I need for vocals, bass, even drums and synth. It's not quite UAD Studer saturation, but it sounds excellent for a lot of applications!
