There’s a demo so you can try it before you buy it.
That’s what I did and I ended up not buying it
My reasons:
Drive is unoriginal
I’ve got Tritik Krush (excellent and free) and NI Bite (not bad but not free) for the bitcrushing job
The animator is not bad but frankly limited (2, 4, 6 or 8 steps of animation), not an odd rythm, the only way to make it sound not monotonous is to make it play random. But then I can do the same with a random LFO and one of the aforementioned plugins.
The Delay section is dull, or I didn’t understand its interest
The Wave section is the most interesting, but there’s a limited amount of curves so nah
I owned the Biscuit twice. And sold it!? Bought the plugin perhaps two years ago. Haven’t used it much. I think the point with the Biscuit is the hands-on tweaking. Such a joy, I recall, to treat the MD with it.
I tried the Biscuit plugin demo years ago but unfortunately don’t remember how it compared to my Biscuit, but I seem to remember it missing some of my favorite modes, like vibrato. Maybe that’s incorrect or perhaps it was added, but I think there are many other interesting bitcrushing options ITB. Permut8 might be worth checking out. I also use TAL DAC and Unfiltered Audio’s Dent. Biscuit’s filter is one of my favorites though, wish I remembered how the software compared.
I agree. Just. got the plugin for under $70 on sale. I own 2 OTO boxes so I know the OTO sound and this can do a fine job of getting there for a far lesser price than the hardware.
The filter is rather nice, reminds me a bit of my Boum. Ran a drum break through the step filter and it completely changed the character of it in a good way for me.
I too have the plugin and feel that the filter is nice and full of character. Offers lots of good sound options outside the filter too. Softtube always do such a good job with their hardware to vst implementations.
Not sure if it’s region specific, but the code is from their mailing list: WASTEDSPACEOTO
Good through Oct 27 2022. Also knocks Wasted Space reverb down to $19.
I’ve been waiting for a sale like this on the Biscuit, and then fell into the hardware version a week ago in a trade. Now I’m not sure what to do, have both?
Plop it on a track after a drum break or synth part or vocal - whatever. Tweak. record the result.
Final mix, use it to add movement to a sound with the filter or use its delay to add depth. Bitcrush a clean sound like cymbals or anything else. Basically use it to add that extra energy to a track that needs it.
