Hey hey,
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.
This is just the result of searching for "saturate" in all LADSPA plugin names
and parameters.
Does anyone have a good suggestion? Have you gone for that sound before?
Best wishes and thanks,
Jeanette

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.

Compressor is good and and use it in parallel, so you can easily adjust how much of
saturation you like to add. So you can even add an EQ before or after to filter out
unwanted / bad sounding frequencies.

Hi Tim and Holger,
thanks for your suggestions. They will come in handy. This sounds like it will
do exactly what I am looking for. I'm sorry, I wasn't more precise in my
explanations.
Best wishes,
Jeanette
