saturator
Description
The Saturator is a FREE plug-in that emulates the non-linear curve of analog tape in saturation. The Saturator can add up to 6dB of gain to the signal to push it into overdrive whereby soft clipping begins. When used properly the Saturator can add that "analog sound" to your tracks or can be used to boost low level signals giving them an "analog edge".

Ferox is a free tape saturation modeller VST plugin. It has separate controls for saturation and hysteresis effects. Feedback with variable tape speed is provided to simulate vintage tape echos.

THD:
analog-style saturator;
This is no typical high-gain distortion device, nor a 'decimator' or bit crusher.
I was searching for something that sounded a bit like my old tube bass preamp that I like using for fattening up vocals or drum tracks.
Because good outboard gear is expensive and sonically equivalent software simulators are rare (and expensive as well), I started to lurk behind the curtain, thinking of creating something to fit my personal needs.
I simply could not find suitable simulators out there.
Well, what is going on inside analog gear, especially when it comes to the fact, that tube equipment always sounds different as solid-state devices?
Many people say 'oh, it's soft saturation that leads to more harmonics'. It took me quite a long time to realize that this is just some part of the story.
Apart from generating the 'right' kind and amount of harmonics, analog circuits are actually doing a lot of dynamic action. Considering a vacuum tube, this behaviour partly depends on the tube itself and also on the electrical parts surrounding it.
Now, THD is an approach to a very few of such aspects. The plugin is intended for a mixer's insert path to act as a preamp stage. It smoothes out the transients, gives more overall gain and warms a bit.
You might also want it to simulate a tape machine driven to the limit to achieve that typical warmth & fatness associated with analog recordings. THD uses similar methods to alter the frequency response of 'hot' tapes as analog recorders do.
As always, trust your ears. It may sound good for some applications, but unsuitable for others.

La simulation de mon vieux magnéto SONY. Un peu plus compliqué à programmer ! !. Pour les nostalgiques de la purée analogique de mon magnéto pourri. Le contrôle du gain permet de plus ou moins amplifier le signal donc de plus ou moins le compresser. Si le signal est trop fort, l’algorithme diverge et le son disparaît. Il reste encore un peu de travail à effectuer sur cette algorithme!!. Réglage haute frequence et niveau de sortie.

Endorphin:
dual-band stereo compressor,
Dynamics processors are essential when recording, mixing and editing music. But when it comes to compressing an entire sum signal, a lot of digital compressors turn out to be unusable, many of them were made to process single-track signals only.
On complex sources they tend to produce a 'pumping' sound, distort or just make your music lifeless. There are manufacturers telling you 'this is the only compressor you'll ever need'. Don't believe them. Sound signals are far too complex to be handled by a single device.
Your music deserves care and attention to details. This applies especially to the post-mixdown stage, often referred to as 'mastering'.
Endorphin is no universal talent either.
It is a specialist for complex sources like a mixdown, after having made minor sonic adjustments and right before burning the track to CD.
Furthermore, it can help to increase depth, definition and loudness of a track.
I call it an 'analog-style' compressor: endorphin uses models like frequency-dependent nonlinear operation, different harmonics creation stages as well as two basic compressor circuits taken from the analog realm.
