Welcome to CRUSH PACK

Abstract

Welcome to the CRUSH PACK manual. Read this user guide and learn how to use CRUSH PACK in your DAW to create a vast range of distortion effects, from saturation to frequency shifting and bitcrushing.

CRUSH PACK consists of three plug-ins that are designed for use in your DAW, offering new takes on classic distortion effects:

  • BITE: A bit and sample rate reduction effect that can be used to emulate early digital devices, roughen up sound and add more character to any audio signal. For more information, refer to BITE.

  • DIRT: A comprehensive distortion device with destructive capability that can be used to simulate warm, overdriven tube sounds and also generate drastic distortions. For more information, refer to DIRT.

  • FREAK: A ring modulation and frequency shifting effect that can be used to transform, add movement, roughen up, and convert the harmonics of signals. For more information, refer to FREAK.
