What Spicerack does
The plugin is organized around five distortion flavors that the developer describes as harmonic distortion, saturate, distort, shape and texturize, each tuned to give a different color. An auto gain compensation stage is included for gain staging, and the developer states the algorithms are mastering grade and phase accurate. A vertical linear-phase EQ and a gate sit in the distorted signal path, so tone shaping can be applied before or after the saturation stage. The developer says the plugin keeps CPU consumption low, and a Console Remote interface lets one instance control all others. The plugin is listed as VST2, AU, AAX and Standalone for Windows and macOS, with iLok activation.
Key features
- Five saturation algorithms. Five distortion algorithms are provided, each developed and tuned to offer a different color, covering harmonic distortion, saturation, distortion, shaping and texturing.
- Auto gain compensation. Gain compensation is applied automatically so that the level stays consistent when the algorithms are switched or the drive is changed.
- Vertical linear-phase EQ. The EQ uses true linear-phase technology derived from the developer’s earlier Sugar plugin and is laid out in a vertical view.
- Gate in the distortion path. A gate placed in the distorted signal path controls which parts of the signal reach the saturation stage.
- Console Remote control. The Console Remote interface lets a single instance control the settings of all Spicerack instances in a session.
Compatibility
Spicerack is listed as VST2, AU, AAX and Standalone for Windows 7 and macOS 10.9 with 64-bit builds and native Apple Silicon support, with 8 GB of RAM recommended and iLok activation required.
