I'm looking for a LADSPA plugin that can add some
slight colouration for the
bright modern pop sound. So far I found the CAPS Saturation plugin (ID 1771),
which I have used, but is rather heavy handed. There's the Valve Saturation
(ID 1209), which I also think is a strong effect. I haven't had any experience
with the Invada saturation nor the CAPS compressor/saturating limiter.
i'm not quite sure what the sound is you're looking for but i think
you want a combination of a compressor feeding a *very* gentle
overdrive.
i haven't used #1771 in a while but i think that as with steve's #1209
you need to keep the gain/drive at an absolute minimum, just allow the
compressor attack overshoot to add some harmonics.
the caps compressor/limiter is probably not capable of producing the
clear timbre i would associate with bright modern pop.
cheers, tim
