To add some quick and dirty saturation, I would actually recommend Softubes free saturation knob over the Decapitator. Which makes me personally just use the samy type, and bascially ending up with one distortion model. Also, it has some different distortion models, but as someone also already mentioned, not all of them are as good as the others. The flipside of that coin can sometimes be that's it's complex.ĭecapitator is a classic, and the sound is great, but I'm often annoyed by the difference in output between presets, making my monitors and ears not so happy. Like others have mentioned, there is no question about Saturn being the king of variation and options here. I have the Saturn and Decapitator, and I would also like to add the Softube free saturation knob to the list. Satin is amazing, but its saturation capabilities are of course less versatile than those of the other two. Some of the distortion modes I dislike on most material I've tried them on.
I love Decapitator, too, although I find it a bit overrated. Multiband for distortion is more useful than multiband for compression, yet there are so many multiband compressors and only one multiband distortion plugin. I really wonder why nobody else has thought of this before. Multiband distortion is a godsend because it often makes a lot of sense to distort only the mids and highs, but not the low end. It sounds amazing and offers way more functionality than Decapitator. I find Saturn the best saturation plugin around. (But whatever you need to tell yourself to justify buying both ) NelsonOf course there's overlap dude, they are both saturation plug-ins. What I'm trying to avoid is having multiple plugins which do the same thing.
I was look at buying one or the other, but if there really isn't any overlap, then I suppose I can buy both. : Would you consider there to be any overlap between Saturn and Decapitator? It even has a "service" panel where you can "mod" the machine. It's also a gorgeous delay and flange unit and it also has an extensive compander emulation section that makes it really damn useful for those with actual reel-to-reel (or cassette) tape machines.
I don't really see it just as a saturator though, it's much more than that. Satin is just a fantastic emulation of a tape machine and easily my fave of its kind. I never really fell in love with Saturn (I prefer Izotope Trash 2 and Ohmicide) but it's the only multi-band saturation plug in the trio so if that's what you're after go for it!ĭecapitator is a classic saturation plug-in.
