I havent seen anyone post about this, so if I missed the thread, i'm sorry. Just wanted to HIGHLY recommend dadalife's new Sausage Fattener VST. This thing is simple, yet amazing.

"The Sausage Fattener only has two knobs. But don’t be fooled. With those seemingly simple parameters you can create loads of different sounds. Use the Sausage Fattener on a single channel with moderate settings as a musical compressor. Turn it up and you have a dirty bastard of distortion. But you can also use the plugin on a bus (for example all the drums and the bass) or the whole track as a mastering plugin.

The Sausage Fattener is used by Tiësto, Kaskade, Diplo, Laidback Luke, Chuckie, Sebastian Ingrosso, Dirty South, Hardwell, Angger Dimas, Frank E, Zedd, Lazy Rich, Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike, Marcus Schossow, John Dahlbäck and many other DJ/producers.


Plugin Site

an endorsement means nothing. Musical ? disagree with you there. On the master buss as a mastering plugin , not really. I don't want to be a part of that group that just bashed it because they assumed it was a mastering plugin by design and it only costs 15 but it sounds like shit. And not the good sort of shit you might want. It adds weird phasing issues , the controls seem to either make it sound like you are running 20 saturation plugins in a row or nothing.

And it has been posted. I wouldn't recommend this plugin. Lots of free programs that do this. It lacks a wet/dry ratio, single band , no eq side chain.... And it lacks any subtlety what so ever which i would say makes it non musical.

See #7 - It's been mentioned here, a couple of times, by my recollection.

If you put "Tranceaddict.com - " in front of your search terms, in Google, then you can save yourself some problems, later on.

I've got this hotdog fatty thing and it's okish, nothing great and pretty harsh. I AB'd it for it's mastering capability against pro tracks and really it's just way too clumsy and nasty for any mastering apart from perhaps the smallest amount of distortion.

I'm a real fan of it. Sounds great on basslines and does a lot more than just smash the dynamics into a "sausage". I used it pretty extensively on my JP80x0 demo.

It can be good on the right lead, too. Pads, not so much, but maybe. Master bus? Probably not because it does add a bit of "fuzz", but, again, maybe.

I love the simplicity of it, for one. Waves also has a few "one knob" plugins now that I'm also really liking... cuz, you know, I'm lazy.

kinda fucked that you add this sort of things to your sound banks you sell without actually telling people. Most would consider that false advertisement.I mean you do sort of weasel your way out with the fine print but it is like saying, lose weight now, your experience may vary. Except they tend to have a money back guarantee.

"Note that some external FX where used in the audio demo, namely a simple external delay plugin and reverb. I feel the JP's chorus and EQs are a large part of its vintage character, so I used them appropriately in my patch bank."

I mean you really should put exactly what you used.

Everybody knows that soundset demos are fiddled with. You might as well say that releasing music that's been mastered is cheating.

disagree, not the same at all. You buy the soundsets thinking you get the same sound. If you are adding all sorts of precessing, i mean what is the point.

I'm not trying to dupe anyone, I'm trying to match Vengeance's demo quality. You think they're not compressing the hell out of their latest demos? Of course they are because they want the samples/patches to be heard in their full glory.

If I felt like it was worth mentioning in my "weasel your way out" disclaimer that I'm compressing the sounds, I would have. But that's significantly less important than letting everyone know that I didn't use the JP8000's delay because it sucks.

You make it sound like the audio demo was 100% external FX. Nothing can make shitty patches or a shitty instrument sound great.
