Does Saturation REALLY Make a Difference?


ShaperBox 3 Bundle: The Ultimate Rhythmic Powerhouse Elevate your sound design with the ShaperBox 3 Bundle, a must-have toolkit for modern producers. This versatile collection brings together 11 powerful Cableguys effects—including Time, Pitch, Volume, and the new LiquidShaper—into one intuitive, multiband interface. Whether you're looking for precise sidechain ducking, complex rhythmic glitches, or lush analog-style filtering, ShaperBox 3 makes it easy to inject musical motion into any track. Praised by top producers like David Guetta and industry titans like Sound On Sound, it’s the definitive solution for solving mix problems and finding instant inspiration.

We’ve all heard about how great saturation can be in adding weight and edge to your tracks, something that just can’t be achieved with your typical EQ or compression. In a digital world where most of us mix in-the-box, can something like saturation really be replicated in a plugin format? Follow along with Gerry to see how he uses Escalator to beef up a metal track!
