Soundtoys Decapitator
The Decapitator is a favorite of ours here at SKapade Studios and our in-house producers use it on almost every track including Stephen Kirkwoods releases on Spektre’s Respekt Recordings. You can see Stephen using Decapitator in our Needin’ U walkthrough course here, which is currently 50% off for Black Friday.
With five different analog saturation models to choose from, Decapitator is perfect for adding character to every kind of track and instrument in your mixes. They’ve also included a modeled tone control that lets you shape the saturated sound and a mix control that lets you blend in some dry signal for parallel processing without the need for routing and sub-mixes. Combine all of this with the flexibility and reliability of a Soundtoys plug-in, and you’ve got the best of analog and digital together in one essential effect.
