a saturation plugin for pretty much any situation
say hello to denise audio god mode it can sound great on
vocals guitars drums even your entire mix
i'm zane welcome to simple green tech and today i'm doing a quick review of
denise audio's god mode which is a great saturation
plugin i've included a link in the description to the listing on
plugin boutique as they sometimes have sales over there
and i've also included a link to the denise audio website
so you can dig into this great plugin a little deeper now let's give it a quick
listen and then i'll get into some more of the
details
now all of the demos that i just showed you they were all started from the
presets that are included with the denise audio god mode
and all you have to do is just dial them in just a little bit more and you can
really get them working perfectly for your tracks
and one of the things i really like about this plugin
is how easy it is to use the interface isn't trying to look like a piece of
vintage gear or anything it's just straightforward and easy to
use you have three different types of drive
you have the tape warp and buzz you also have high pass
and low pass filters you have your gain makeup control down here just in case
your signal gets too loud or too soft and like all modern plugins it has a
mix control but denise audio takes this one step
further you can actually adjust the mix on
either the left side or the right side
or you can do a mix of both and this can really help you with stereo separation
and of course you'll notice the big graphical eq at the top here
and this allows you to control the frequencies that get saturated plus
there's also this pole control down here which affects how the plugin pulls the
signal back out which can help for a smoother sound
saturation can create harshness but denise audio have
really done their work here to help you have a more musical saturation for
pretty much any need now another cool feature that they've added
is the side tape mode here so you can actually use this
as a side chain plugin and you can have another source
control the rhythm of the track and this allows for a lot of cool
instrumental sounds and effects let's have a quick look at the side chain now
and then i'll get into some of the other
and that was just a little sample of
side chaining with the god mode plugin and of course you can go way further
with this and you can see how cool that can be now
i want to dig into using this on my guitar tracks
i'm currently working on a song for my band and the guitars were a little stale
they just didn't stand out in the mix and i added the denise audio god mode
and i'm very happy with the result so let's give that a listen right now
and as you could hear there when we played the guitar in the mix with the
denise audio god mode plugin on it really started to cut through i'm
really enjoying this plugin on guitars and another great use that i found for
it almost instantly was the magic that it can bring to a snare
my band kind of has this old school punk sound and the snare drums
really drive the beat so i've been searching for a way to really
boost that snare in the mix usually resulting in multiple plugins
so now here it is on the snare now let's listen to that in the mix
now i always add some tape saturation to my master effects track
just to soften up the sound a bit and it can really help smooth out the symbols
and glue everything together so let's try the denise audio god mode
on the master
