Take advantage of a massive 95% discount on Universal Audio's Electronic Music Bundle. Additionally, Vox Samples has just unveiled their latest offering – the Fat Cat Vocal Saturation Plugin for Windows – and it's available for free to all users.
Fat Cat can be used on Windows operating systems that are 64-bit and it is only available as a VST3 plugin format.
Using saturation on vocals is a quick way to achieve rich and full-sounding tones, which is why it's exciting to come across a free option like this!
According to Vox Samples, their plugin has the ability to enhance the tone and warmth of your vocal recordings. Alternatively, you can increase the intensity of the effect to achieve a distorted sound. You can listen to examples of these different sounds in the wet/dry samples provided on the product page, which can be accessed through the link below.
The plugin performs exceptionally well whether you use it to subtly enhance the sound or if you increase the drive for a more pronounced effect. We are currently experiencing a fantastic era in audio production, with an overwhelming number of high-quality plugins being released as free offerings.
Similar to other free plugins, the interface is designed to be user-friendly and straightforward. It includes a few basic controls such as Drive, Mix, and Vol.
If you don't need anything complex and simply want a fast way to make your vocals sound fuller, this solution will meet your needs.
In addition, the interface also features a cute and chubby cat, and we are all aware that a visually pleasing interface enhances the audio quality, don't we?
According to Vox Samples, the Fat Cat Vocal Saturation Plugin is designed and adjusted based on a modern analog tube preamp. It introduces a type of distortion called harmonic distortion, which is both pleasing and musical to listen to.
According to the developer, the Drive becomes significantly thicker very fast, so it may be necessary to handle it with a gentle touch.
The Mix knob serves as a useful tool in this context as it allows for parallel saturation. This means that even if a more aggressive Drive setting is being used, the Mix knob can help maintain a natural sound.
According to Vox Samples, the Fat Cat offers a variety of effects, starting with a subtle preamp saturation. As you increase the Drive, you will experience a pleasant warm saturation/distortion that is ideal for enhancing the vocals and making them stand out in the mix.
When the Drive knob is turned up significantly, the Fat Cat pedal will start to produce a soft clipping effect, resulting in a distortion that is described as warm and crunchy.
Fat Cat is the latest offering from Vox Samples, and unlike their previous releases, it is a free plugin that can be used by anyone.
In comparison, the developer has also released two free products that cater to a specific audience. These are the Harajuku Kawaii EDM Vocal Sample Pack and Shibuya Swag Japanese Rap Vocal Sample Pack, which are likely to attract fans of Japanese culture and music.
