01Overview

HATE is a distortion plugin from Tracktion, created under the Dawesome name. Its main idea is wavetable-based distortion: you drag in an audio file and the plugin turns it into a custom saturation shape. Distortion can then be stacked in a chain of up to six effects, similar to a guitar pedalboard. The plugin is aimed at sound designers and producers who want aggressive, experimental or unusual distortion for synths, drums and melodies.

03In depth

Wavetable-Based Distortion for Custom Saturation

Instead of choosing from fixed distortion types, HATE builds its saturation from an audio file you provide. Drag any sample into the plugin and it becomes the shape that processes your sound.

This makes the output different from standard overdrive or bitcrushing. Because the curve comes from your own material, results will vary with the source file you choose, which suits producers looking for personal, unusual textures.

29 Modules and Stackable Effects

HATE includes 29 distortion modules. You can combine up to six of them in a chain, layering effects the way you would on a pedalboard.

The range runs from subtle warmth to heavy destruction. Dawesome's own module names, such as MAL-SYNC, ATARI-PUNK and RASPATOR, point to the more extreme end of that range, while the lighter modules cover gentler coloration.
