Saturation is an amazing technique that can bring life, vibe and energy to your mixes and production. In this video I explain what it is and how to get started using it by sharing some
free plugins / vsts. Saturation is a huge topic but hopefully this video sets you in the right direction :)
While some of the examples here used heavily driven tape and tube saturation, often a subtle amount is all you need and you’ll soon start getting a good ear for how much is enough. Don’t forget to explore the other forms of saturation too!
