Tell me what you use, preferrably with zero latency throughput and free.

Oo, that sounds pretty nice, and lots of controls too. Any other suggestions? You cant have enough ways to warm up your signal :P

Ferric TDS was part of the kvr developer challenge right? I installed it, and it crashed my daw. About 4 months later, my av popped up and said it was a virus. WTF is up with that?

Whoah! Thanks for the heads-up, I downloaded that one a couple of days ago and was going to install it this weekend.

Just got an email from audiomidi about a $20 multiband saturator that looks pretty kinky, not free though!

Use it all the time, no crashes here. Very high quality plug imo, and free :D

ferrictds cerainly ain't a virus and it certainly kicks ass.

as for other pluggies, google greasetube, tls secret, roktion 808, voxengo tube, tal tube, mokafix stompboxes... so many great ones are available.

Not an overdrive per se, but can give fantastic saturation.......






























Blockfish compressor by digitalfishfones will give you great overdriven results :)

well it's a subtle effect. certainly not to be used as an overdrive, but it can really affect the dynamics of a sound. bootsie made some fine points in the ferrictds manual, it's a nice read.

i think its effect is fairly obvious if you crank up both the dynamics and saturation knobs and then do an a/b test on the signal. you will certainly notice that the b signal is pretty much hotter. :mrgreen:

It's defo not malware, you might have got a bug when you downloaded it or something but it's working great for me
