    i like Camel Phat and Trash2, sometimes i use Saturn too. in my distortion habits, i always find it difficult to get the effect i want in Saturn, either not enough or too much.

    wow nice,

    used to use saturn alot back in the day on my bus channels. really added that nice shine even on my master...

    may add saturn back into my tool chain with this new release... the ui lookin smoooooth... love the colours...

    people shouldn't compare saturn to distortion plugins though, even though saturn can do some interesting distortion it is much stronger as a saturator than it is a distortion plugin... try using it in small amounts on the bus channel. It's a good way to clip the bus and raise the RMS, providing a tighter sound and more headroom...

    I've tried saturn a long time ago and didn't like it, for saturation I prefer decapitator, VSM 3 and Black Box, if I really want to distort something hard I would use ohmicide or trash 2...

    I use Saturn on my kicks, snares, toms, stereo out, and sometimes on bass. Sounds amazing already, so interesting to see what they improve in version 2.

    I had the complete opposite experience with Saturn. We even had sex on the first date.

    Hmm... were you abandoned by a DAW as a child? - or maybe had your self-esteem dismembered by an abusive WAVES plugin back in the day? If so, you may be suffering from software commitment phobia. If it bothers you, don't fret 'cos you can always obtain help from a qualified hacker who'll put you straight in no time!

    Me? With so much love to give, i simply have no time for monogamous relationships & I sleep with all my plugins... :hug:

    Yup, Saturn can take a fair bit of effort... but if you can get that saucy minx into the saddle she sure is hot to trot! :hifive:

    Saturn was my favorite, but since Spectre has individual saturation models for each band and de-emphasis. I barely miss Saturn since going mostly legit, and all the fine-tuning coming with it. that and the price on Fabfilter plugins is ridiculous.

    Bout time!!

    I do like the modulation possibilities on V1, so im intruiged...
    I find myself using trash2 more though.. but it cant do the modulation nearly as well.
    Be cool to see whats new i must admit.
    Im gonna be devils advocate here though.

    I think the problem with fabfilter doesnt really have much to do with any software flaw or anything to do with performance or even the plugin lineup.
    Its more to do with alot of people seeming to think fabfilter is the holy grail of plugins, capable of getting blood from a stone and turning any mediocre composition into something world class!!

    Wrong on so many levels

    "There is no such magical plugin list"

    So when i say fabfilters overated, Its not that i deem the plugins performance overated, its the individuals expectations of what they can actually do that i deem to be overated, but ergo, even so, it still means "fabfilters overated".

    And misunderstood n placed on an unrealistic godlike pedastal

    I do use them, and respect em, as i said, devils advocate!

    Oh how I would like to own the hardware one [and/or Warm Audio ToneBeast], but Brainworx plugins are usually not very special regarding audio quality. I must try that one. Actually I was going to, just like a week ago or so. :wink:
