A band solo feature (+mix switched to 100% when on). There are some things missing in Spectre that would improve workflow drastically. The UI functions well and can be scaled from 50% to 200%. I have never felt it difficult to adjust or fine tune anything. Using Spectre feels instantly familiar and intuitive because it operates like an EQ. I enjoy the simple, straightforward and clean looking user interface. To conserve CPU it would be nice to have an option to always render at the Best quality, as is the case with some competing products. I think the oversampling options the devs have chosen are very meaningful and useful. This reduces aliasing to a level that generally makes me not to worry about it in almost any situation. Most of the time I keep Spectre in the “Best” mode. It can still get too much for me if the saturation is pushed hard. Different saturation types produce different amounts of aliasing, but I would be happy to use this mode in many cases. In Good mode the aliasing is reduced significantly. There are situations where aliasing doesn’t matter so much, but when working with analog modelled saturation I try to avoid it when possible. Of course it’s also the lightest on the CPU. In my testing the standard mode produced quite a bit of aliasing. Spectre has three different oversampling modes. This affects the behaviour of the algorithms drastically. Clean: bonus mode that adds no distortion, it simply passes the difference in EQ with the dry signal so Spectre acts like a boosting parallel EQ.īesides the choice of saturation algorithm per band, you have the choice to run the entire plugin in Subtle, Medium or Aggressive mode. Half Rectify: gets rid of all negative values of the signal. Rectify: makes all negative values of the signal go positive, giving a higher pitched signal. Unlike the others, this algorithm reacts more on lower inputs than on higher ones. Digital: hard clipping digital distortion. Diode: soft clipping symmetric distortion similar to the tube but with more high frequency content. Perfect for transient heavy material like drums or percussion. Class B: special type of soft clipping / symmetric distortion, also known as “crossover distortion”. Not recommended to be used in the high frequencies. Perfect for bass or kick drum enhancement. Tape: tape like punchier and muffled saturation. Solid: transistor type soft clipping asymmetric distortion. Not recommended to be used in higher frequencies. Warm Tube: darker version of the Tube. It’s the most versatile one and a safe bet for almost any situation. Tube: valve-type soft clipping symmetric distortion. Fabfilter saturn even harmonics manual#
Here are the descriptions, taken from the manual (plugin version 1.5.5): Some suppress transients where as other can be used to accentuate them, for instance. They react to the source signal in really different ways. The different saturation styles included in Spectre are quite varied and all useful in their own way. In my opinion it does indeed excel in the subtle stuff, but can also sound really nice when pushed hard.
If you drive it too hot the effect will be too noticeable and the distortion will be too present, but if that’s what you’re looking for then go for it! Spectre was built to be subtle, that’s how you’ll get that analog flavour on lows and shimmering high end that we all like. It sounds great! This is what Wavesfactory state in the manual: 5 bands (each has its own algorithm, boost, Q, and channel setting).10 different saturation algorithms (plus a clean mode for EQ boosts).
It adds harmonics by processing the difference between the input signal and the EQ signal.
Wavesfactory Spectre is a harmonic enhancer that is operated like an EQ. What Is Wavesfactory Spectre? Wavesfactory Spectre I have no affiliation with Wavesfactory but this article contains partner links to Plugin Boutique. Despite some shortcomings it’s still one of my favourite harmonic enhancers.ĭisclaimer: I have bought this plugin. I bought Wavesfactory Spectre from the Black Friday sale about a year back.
