Loc-Ness V3: Saturation, Compression and Filtering Plugin by Tone Empire Free Download

Loc-Ness runs its Crust saturation stage into its Smash limiter in series, so the two stages stack. Crust offers four drive types, each with its own harmonic character, and a Mix control blends the processed signal with the dry signal for parallel processing.

The Attack setting controls how the limiter responds to transients. In Fast mode, Smash reacts immediately. In Slow mode, the initial transient passes through before limiting takes over. Phase lets you keep or invert the wet signal's phase for blending, and Output offers a range of plus or minus 12 dB.

Autogain compensates the level as you push Crust and Smash harder, which helps keep the output level consistent while you audition settings.

The pre filters decide which frequencies reach the saturation and compression stages. A pre high-pass filter ranges from 20 to 500 Hz and removes low end before processing, and a pre low-pass filter ranges from 3 to 20 kHz to tame highs before Crust amplifies them.

The post filters shape the processed signal after it leaves the chain. The post high-pass covers 20 to 800 Hz and the post low-pass covers 1 to 20 kHz, which can smooth harsh highs in the final output. These filters are most useful when you blend wet and dry signals.

Oversampling of up to 8x is available to reduce aliasing in the saturation stage.
