Spicerack

Creative Distortion

Dreamt-up, designed, and finely-tuned by award-winning engineers, Spicerack reimagines the conventional approach to audio saturation and distortion, elevating
the process to new heights of creativity.

Spicerack features five completely different flavors of harmonic distortion to saturate, distort, shape or texturize your sounds. Those five algorithms have been carefully developed and tuned to provide a wide color palette that is truly useful for every producer and mixing engineer. In that respect, Spicerack picks up where other saturation plugins left off.

Using the true linear phase technology developed for PROCESS.AUDIO’s ubiquitous first plugin ‘Sugar’, Spicerack yields unprecedented results when blending wet and dry signals, making no compromise on the quality of your audio material, a first for parallel saturation plugins.

Spicerack’s interface was designed to dial-in the right amount of saturation as fast as possible with minimum brain share. The unique Auto Gain Compensation and Calibration features make for a smooth Drive knob ranging from subtle saturation to aggressive distortion with no level jumps.

Other Spicerack key features include Console Remote, a unique protocol allowing inter- plugin communication and remote control, and a very creative audio Gate circuit that helps morph Spicerack’s distortion effects from conventional all out chaos to precise sound design tools.
