Substrate: Deepen and Enrich Your Bass Sound
Meet Substrate by Mastrcode Music – a powerful VST plugin designed specifically to give your basslines unparalleled depth, presence, and impressive power. Forget about a weak or lost bass in the mix! Substrate will become your indispensable tool for creating the foundation of a track that will be felt by the whole body.
At the heart of Substrate is a unique technology for generating additional harmonics in the low-frequency range (subharmonics). Working from the base frequency you choose, the plugin creates a harmonic series that complements and enriches the original signal. You can control the intensity of this effect with the “Boost Level” control, allowing you to achieve the perfect balance between the clarity of the original bass and the added power.
One of the key advantages of Substrate is its ability to create a “psychoacoustic effect.” Even on playback systems that cannot physically reproduce very low frequencies (e.g., weak laptop speakers or mobile devices), the harmonics generated by Substrate can make the listener’s brain perceive the full spectrum of bass sound, as if these low frequencies are actually present. This means that your bass will sound powerful and rich to a much wider audience, regardless of the quality of their equipment.
Substrate is designed with the needs of both professional sound engineers and enthusiast musicians in mind. Its intuitive interface allows you to quickly and effectively achieve the desired result, whether it’s light enrichment or extreme bass enhancement.
Key Features and Controls:
- Frequency Control: Allows you to set the base frequency in Hertz from which the harmonics will be generated. This is a specially designed filter that leaves only the set base frequency of the processed sound, cutting off all other frequencies above and below.
- Boost Control: Determines the number of additional harmonics generated based on the set base frequency. The higher the value, the more harmonics will be generated and amplified, giving the sound more power in the low-frequency range.
- Invert Phase Control: In some cases, the processed signal can cause phase problems or its mutual reduction when mixed with the original signal. Inverting the phase of the processed signal can prevent such problems. And in some other cases, inverting the phase can also lead to an even richer and “fatter” low-frequency sound.
- Boost Mix Control: Adjusts the level of the processed signal for mixing with the unprocessed (dry) signal.
- Dry Mix Control: Adjusts the level of the unprocessed (dry) signal.
- Mute Boost Control: Allows you to mute the processed signal for comparison with the original.
- Mute Dry Control: Allows you to mute the unprocessed signal to hear only the effect of the plugin.
- Main Volume Control: The overall output volume control of the plugin.
Substrate is the ideal solution for producers of electronic music, hip-hop, R&B, as well as any genre where powerful and readable bass is a critical element. It allows you to not just make the bass louder, but also give it a new dimension, a sense of space and presence that will distinguish your track among others.
The plugin is available in VST format for Windows operating systems (32-bit and 64-bit). Thanks to its optimization and efficiency, it does not create excessive load on the processor, allowing you to use it even in complex projects.
