Soundtoys Decapitator

[Another Guitar Dude]

Soundtoys is having Black Friday sales so I'm thinking in getting Decapitator (it's half price). My question is, do you think it's worth getting it if I already have another saturation plugins such as Klangheim SDRR ?

 

[Heabow]

Oh yes! Decapitator is awesome. I'd jump on it!

 

[He's Dead, Jim]

Saw this, but I'm trying to decide between it and Fabfilter Saturn, which is on sale for $130 on plugindiscounts.

How is Decapitator different from Slate VCC? I own VCC. Is it worth the $$$ to get Decapitator?

I'm DEFINITELY getting decapitator. I'm trying to figure out if I should just say fuck it and get the whole Soundtoys bundle. EchoBoy is fantastic, so is deviloc and micro shift. I'm trying to figure out a way to package things at audiodeluxe so I get the best bang for my buck.

I may end up just spending the $500 and getting the entire sound toys bundle, plus the fabfilter proq2 and proc2.

They're COMPLETELY different. Slate is emulating console frequency response, cross talk, summing and saturation.

Decapitator is a saturation/ distortion plugin. Very very different. Yes decapitator is worth it.

It IS really nice, but I akways have trouble dialling it in just right. A little goes a long way!!

 

[mva801]

True, but it does have different style options and the mix knob. It's so useful on drums and parallel compression it's ridiculous.

I would rather get Fabfilter saturn,a lot more features,multiband,etc.
I am happy with Quadrafuzz 2 from Cubase though.

I may have to jump on this!

Just the other night I pulled up a mix I did a while back and the drums just slammed me the right way and low-and-behold, I had a demo version of Decapitator on the drum bus for that mix.

Yeah I caved and ended up snatching Decapitator ($88 from plugindiscounts, audiodeluxe/sweetwater have it for $99) and the Progressive Foundry. Sweetwater has it boxed (lawl) for $150, which is $30 cheaper than Toontrack and most other places I've seen. Probably won't be on sale until a year from now or something so why not.

 

[Pursuance]

Decapitator is simply a must buy.

I use it on heavy vocals, snare, and have even got cool results when using it on distorted guitar.

 

[Jaymz]

Yeah Decapitator is a must buy!

 

[Another Guitar Dude]

Alright guys ! Thanks a lot for your comments, I'm buying it

I ended up just springing for Fabfilter Pro-Q2, Pro-C2 and decapitator (audiodeluxe has it for $88, you just have to add it to your cart)

I figured those are the three I'll use the most. I can wait a bit for the others. I do need to demo Saturn.

I picked up the bundle. Between decap and echoboy it's worth it to me. Everything else is bonus.
