Get over 60% off the “secret weapon for top mix engineers” right now at Plugin Boutique

Plugin Boutique is offering a huge saving on the tool hailed as a “secret weapon” for the best mix engineers in the game: the Soundtoys Decapitator.

This analogue saturation modeller plugin offers subtle sounds all the way to “extreme hardware-modelled” saturation, delivering the classic tones of tubes, transistors, and circuitry being pushed to the max.

Now available for just £62, down from a list price of £159.95, Soundtoys created this plugin by collecting and analysing both vintage and modern hardware, including consoles, preamps, input channels, EQs, compressors, and studio distortion units. Selecting those with “the most distinctive sound and unique character when used both subtly and at extremes”, the brand then created their own versions.

Decapitator offers five different analogue saturation models to experiment with, and includes a modelled tone control for shaping the saturated sound, and a mix control made to blend in dry signal for parallel processing, without the need for routing and sub-mixes.

An added feature of Decapitator is its brutal Punish button – this boosts the gain, pushing it “over the edge” for analogue tone that squeals in pain, according to Soundtoys. So far, the plugin has been praised by the likes of Fabrice ‘Fab’ Dupont (Marc Ronson, Santigold, Jennifer Lopez), Tchad Blake (Sheryl Crow), and Ryan Hewitt (Red Hot Chili Peppers).
