Has anyone tried this? I did. And I think you should give it a go.

Usually when i hear of automation I think sidechaining or eq automation, but has anyone else tried automating the amount of saturation going on in a mix? I'm talking about for more transient things like drums and stabs or plucks. I think that drums and other transient sounds can really benefit from an automated tape saturation on the master.

I know many people would probably go, "Why not just saturate the drums in their separate channel?" I think that if you do that, a lot of the harmonic content gained can be lost in even the best mixed tracks. I think though that a saturation automated on the master gives a natural harmonic boost that would apply to everything, giving a more profound punch, however would most notably be heard on the drums or other sounds that hit.

I realized this would be insanely tough for most other sounds but its really easy to be pulled off for a kick or a snare. I just used fl kick with the peak filter and routed it to Fabfilter Saturns saturation amount the same way I would a sidechain. But I messed with the kick's adsr so that the envelope looked like a triangle. That way the distortion ramps up after that initial transient and distort the beef of the drums. the results were interesting.

So has anyone tried something like this before?

Hollow fart snare. Alternatively know as reverse ass queef snare.

Whatever, though, keep experimenting. See you're really using FL

I like hollow fart snares

The term, or the sound of air forcefully escaping out an open ass onto a wooden bench in a gymnasium sound?

the second

I try to get as much grit out of fart sounds as possible, never liked clean sounding ones anyway.

whats the point in a clean fart anyway?

Best fart should have a long tail, or 'follow through' as it's known.

I think you mean "release".

happy full body massage and "release"

Not THAT kind of release!

Relax with "sample and hold" at New Home Thai Bath House.

leaning over a tommy like a turntable scratching making a blob blub blouob sound


some of the sounds 'hunger' makes in an empty stomach are like being trapped inside an upright bass

I love you guys.

It's a good idea definitely

automating wave shapers and then cutting out the best bits is saturation heaven btw
if you then put those through a nice verb it can yield some unique slippery wet results

Slippery wet results

im 4in

but like skiddish and rubbery

like if you threw a fat gecko at a wall and it stayed there like a poster

Sometimes I have no idea what u are on about hubb

SOMETIMES

Dammit

Ok so you have a piece of wood (maybe its a percussive hit in the making)
and you throw it at the wall.

Then you would probably be disappointed when it just hits the wall and does a half hearted creak or slightly woody boink and that was it!!!!!!

BUT WITH MY *METHOD*
It now sounds
like if you threw a fat gecko at a wall and it stayed there like a poster instead.
