I still use it, but only on elements in the mix that I don't consider super important, or occasionally if there's something i really want to destroy. I can't speak for Saturn, I've been considering it for a highly complex, tweakable saturation solution and I'm a huge fan of everything I've tried by fabfilter but I've not 'needed' it badly enough to justify the cost.īack to decap - to my ear it's just very plastic sounding. I'm surprised that I'm the first to post this here, and therefore this might be an unpopular opinion but I think decapitator is hugely overrated. The effect rack comes with 14 effects including the Decapitator, but I can't help but feel conflicted about getting the rack: Does it eat up more CPU? Why when I see anyone on tutorials or people when they share plug in chains they have the standalone Decapitator and never the Rack? Or can you pull them out of the rack? Is there something I am missing? Do you use both? Does one work better than the other? (even if you don't have both plug ins I'd love to hear about what you have to say about one or the other.)Īlso a bonus question on Soundtoys: Right now on the Soundtoys website, the Decapitator is $69 usd while the effect rack sits at $129 usd.

I know that they're different from each other of course, with Saturn being a multi-band saturator, and Decapitator having different analog-feel algorithms, but I still wanted to see what others have to say comparatively speaking. It seems like a very common tool a lot of people have, and they all have nothing but praise for it. I'm more than likely going to purchase it as Black Friday deals start flying around. My first look was to make sure that they were in the plugin manager, all of them are, have been scanned and verified, and look like they should be ready to go as normal. I currently have FabFilter Saturn, and I have been interested in Decapitator for a while now. For my soundtoys plugins, 4 of them are showing up and are working fine, but the rest (including ones I use every project like decap, echoboy and filterfreak, cant be found.
