Add more punch, power, and personality to your audio with The Grater, a remarkable audio plug - in. It enables you to compress and shape audio in ways you've never experienced. Using its unique controls, you can elevate your audio, either by adding punch and power or by creatively distorting and mangling the sound. Whether you're a mixing engineer aiming to enhance your drums or a sound designer seeking new audio - mangling techniques, The Grater is your go - to solution. Key features include a Grater Control lever for extreme compression, a Sharpness Control for tuning the response, a Breakup Control with three modes (Smooth, Neutral, Heavy) that adds unique compression errors, Compressor Input and Output gain for gain staging, and Dynamic Reinject to restore lost dynamic range. There are also three extra effect modules: Reso Burst for resonant filter bumps, Pre Tonality for pre - compressor tonal shaping, and a Slice Up module for additional clipping. The Master Section helps with final polishing. It works well in all audio production settings, from music mixing to sound design. It also comes with 136 presets from top - notch artists like Mick Gordon and Konrad OldMoney.
Using The Grater is a breeze. First, open it in your audio production software. If you want to add punch and power to your audio, start by adjusting the Grater Control lever. It can give your audio extreme compression, punch, and a bit of distortion. To fine - tune how the plugin responds, use the Sharpness Control. The Breakup Control is great for adding some unique errors to the compression. You can choose from three different modes: Smooth, Neutral, or Heavy, depending on the effect you're going for. For gain staging, adjust the Compressor Input and Output gain. If you notice that compression has made your audio lose its dynamic range, use the Dynamic Reinject feature to bring it back. The three additional effect modules offer even more possibilities. Use Reso Burst to create some cool resonant filter bumps and self - resonating tones. The Pre Tonality module helps you shape the tonal balance of your audio before it goes through the compressor. And the Slice Up module gives you an extra clipping stage. Once you've made all your adjustments, use the Master Section to polish your audio. There are 136 presets from well - known artists. You can use them as a starting point and then make your own changes. As for maintenance, keep your audio production software and The Grater plugin up - to - date to ensure the best performance.
