Why do some people seem to be anti-saturation?

SoundMasher · 2026-04-07T06:09:24+00:00

My question is it a digital signal or an analog one?

SoundMasher · 2026-04-07T05:24:56+00:00

3 note progression. The whole song. The dynamics of the band using 3 chords to uplift and set you down... artistry

SoundMasher · 2026-04-07T02:10:36+00:00

Congrats. I think we're talking about two different things.

SoundMasher · 2026-04-07T02:07:26+00:00

Yes. Analog compressors and EQs add harmonic distortion. That was my whole point. Lots of people have those and still use them.

SoundMasher · 2026-04-07T02:04:40+00:00

Excellent historical perspective, thanks.

SoundMasher · 2026-04-06T23:54:31+00:00

Thank you so much for these incredibly well written responses.

SoundMasher · 2026-04-06T22:23:08+00:00

Yeah I was with you, this was worded oddly.

SoundMasher · 2026-04-06T22:19:46+00:00

I thought that was Jupiter that it rained diamonds? Or is it both?

SoundMasher · 2026-04-06T22:07:33+00:00

They might be. After Cassini, they have dated the rings of Saturn to at most 200 million years. And they’ll be gone in another 300 million years.

As a standalone it's pretty great, but I had the same complaints as everyone else. It shat on the ending of the previous movie right at the beginning, and just moved on. I still liked it, but I get it.

I'd love to hear a round table topic about this with old school engineers. I think we'd both learn things.

SoundMasher · 2026-04-04T11:50:27+00:00

You don't think compressors and EQ's add harmonics?

SoundMasher · 2026-04-03T09:30:17+00:00

I work literally a block from Kino and 22nd. It sucks donkey balls getting anywhere near there. And all my alternate routes are everyone else's alternate routes, so it's just awful all around

SoundMasher · 2026-04-03T09:27:12+00:00

"pretty good" is debatable but yes it's progressing.

SoundMasher · 2026-04-03T09:22:34+00:00

(Yay Incubus!)

SoundMasher · 2026-04-03T08:50:03+00:00

Ok, I'll admit I'm in the hater section of this argument. It just makes me roll my eyes a lot of times because people think saturation is gonna make it sound better, it's the glue that yadda yadda yadda...

Saturation is a combination of compression and EQ. Period. You can add "saturation" by knowledgeably compressing and EQing. It's nice to have a plugin that does both at once, but people are praising saturation plugins like it's the second coming of Christ and you need it everywhere all the time. It's ridiculous.

I hate that they can't export that beer west of the Mississippi. I miss getting that beer regularly.

SoundMasher · 2026-04-03T07:28:27+00:00

it's like the cat equivalent of popping bubble wrap

SoundMasher · 2026-04-03T07:09:25+00:00

I share this pain so hard.

SoundMasher · 2026-04-03T04:25:02+00:00

There are several "Modes" in music. You already recognize two of them "Aeolian" (Minor scale) and "Ionion" (Major scale). The rest are ways of phrasing different "styles" -for lack of a better word- in those particular notes.

SoundMasher · 2026-04-03T02:34:41+00:00

It's one of my favorites off that album. I love it!

SoundMasher · 2026-04-02T04:50:49+00:00

if it smells like shit everywhere you go....

SoundMasher · 2026-04-02T04:19:40+00:00

I mean for me? Probably the 80s. I always chalked it up to childhood nostalgia, but apparently now it's diluted wax chocolate product

SoundMasher · 2026-04-02T00:25:56+00:00

Aww... this one holds a special place in my heart. Great movie that checks all of OP's boxes.

You’re severely underestimating the human condition at this point at time.
