Dada Life - Sausage Fattener VST v1.0 [Devils Group Release]

The Dada Life Sausage Fattener might look deceivingly simple at first glance, but once acquainted with its functionality it has the ability to put your tracks in to high gear. Its used by countless top notch producers such as Tisto, Zedd, and Diplo, and for good reason it packs a serious punch that can add impact and power to your tracks. It is also currently the 5th most-used plugin by producers on Splice! Here well explore what the Sausage Fattener is all about and some of the ways you can use it in your own productions.

The GUI is fairly straightforward; youre presented with three knobs: FATNESS, COLOR, and GAIN. As you start to adjust these knobs, several things begin to happen simultaneously. The FATNESS knob boosts the initial signal by as much as 30dB while at the same time adding complex saturation, which is subtle distortion caused by introducing upper harmonics to the fundamental tone. The COLOR knob adjusts the harmonic relationships within the saturation algorithm. By adjusting the COLOR knob and increasing its value, you begin to increase the amplitude or volume of the uppermost harmonics, which causes the timbre to become brighter. A high degree of saturation can quickly cause the original signal to become rather unwieldy, so thankfully the Dada Life Sausage Fattener provides you with a GAIN knob to adjust the overall volume of the signal as well as a CLIPPING INDICATOR to further keep the levels in check.

To illustrate this process, well take a simple sine wave at 261Hz, which corresponds to middle C on the piano keyboard, and slowly increase the value of the FATNESS knob until it has reached its maximum. At maximum value we have reached full saturation. As seen below, there are a multitude of upper harmonic overtones that are added to the fundamental tone within the harmonic spectrum that add character to the original timbre.
