Add Harmonic Richness to Individual Tracks and Full Mixes
Derived from the Spectral Clipper algorithm found in the Elevate Mastering Limiter, the NF Audio Saturate plug-in allows you to add harmonic content to single tracks and mixes without upsetting their tonal balance. You can drive a signal hard to add punch, detail, and sparkle, without it becoming muddy or tubby as you would normally expect. And while the processing is incredibly advanced, Saturate's simple control set allows you to work fast and not get bogged down in parameters. Best of all, "mastering quality" metering makes it easy to hit your ideal peak and RMS levels. Whether you're mixing or mastering, the NF Audio Saturate plug-in can give your tracks that touch of magic that you can't achieve with traditional processors like EQ and compression.
Note: This is a specially priced version of Newfangled Audio Saturate for qualified instructors and students. Proof of eligibility is required. For more information, call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer.

Energizes without overdoing it
Adding harmonic saturation is a common technique among engineers for a variety of applications. Tasteful saturation can add punch to drums, clarity to vocals, and body to acoustic instruments. But add too much overdrive, and your tonal balance will begin to shift, emphasizing lower frequencies while making them sound muddy and indistinct. The advanced algorithms in Saturate can add up to 24dB of transparent gain, adding harmonic content without shifting your sonic balance. And even though the processing is extremely advanced, Saturate's simple control set allows you to achieve great results fast.
Newfangled Audio Saturate Features:
- Harmonic saturation plug-in processor, derived from the Elevate Mastering Limiter
