Qontrolr: Lo-Fi Character for Your Music
Want to add warmth, grit, and authenticity to your digital tracks? The Qontrolr plugin from Sound-Base Audio is a specialized tool for creating expressive Lo-Fi sound. It simulates the degradation of analog media and old digital equipment, allowing you to easily introduce a unique character into your mix.
Qontrolr is ideal for experimenting with sound, creating effects of old film, vinyl, radio interference, or digital artifacts. It’s a set of tools for shaping the unique vintage character of your music.
Effects
The Qontrolr plugin combines four main destructive effects:
- Clipping Distortion: Hard signal limiting, creates “overload” harmonics.
- Decimation: Reducing bit depth/sampling rate, simulates old digital devices.
- Fuzz: Aggressive overload, adds “fluffiness” and density.
- Static: Adds noise and crackle, simulates recording/transmission defects.
Their combination allows you to achieve a wide range of Lo-Fi textures.
Application
Qontrolr can be used on individual instruments, tracks, or mix buses:
- On tracks: Process vocals, guitars, basses, synthesizers, drums.
- On groups: Apply to groups of instruments for merging and atmosphere.
- On the master bus: Use for the final “aging” of the entire track.
Experiment to get the desired result.
