What SquashIt does
Input and output stages sit at each end of the chain, and the Input control moves the signal from soft to heavy drive. Three crossover points divide the spectrum into bands, and each band has its own distortion level. The crossover frequencies can be dragged to change where the bands split.
A working serial key or keygen is the string most often typed next to the name, and the torrent or magnet link is the usual place these builds are passed around.
Key features
- Three frequency bands. The signal is split into three independent bands, so each part of the spectrum can be distorted by a different amount.
- Per-band distortion level. Each of the three bands has an individual distortion level control.
- Adjustable crossovers. The crossover frequency between bands is set by dragging, which changes where the three bands split.
- Input and output stages. The Input control sets the drive into the distortion, and the Output control sets the level after processing.
Compatibility
SquashIt is available as VST2, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS. The minimum OS is macOS 10.10 and Windows 7, and native support for Apple Silicon is listed.
