In the world of music production, there are tools that add character, warmth, fullness, or even aggression to tracks. Saturation and distortion are precisely the effects that can transform sound, giving it a special coloration and expressiveness. They can “glue” a mix, make individual instruments more noticeable, or create unique textures that capture the listener’s attention.
Meet TNT by Ourafilmes – Explosive Saturation for Your Tracks
Looking for a plugin that can add that missing spark to your drums, basses, or effects? Ourafilmes presents TNT – a powerful VST saturation and distortion plugin, designed with special attention to the needs of modern musicians and sound engineers. Although TNT was initially optimized for working with drums (both individual sounds and loops), as well as for processing effects and bass lines, its versatility allows it to be used in a wide variety of scenarios.
Forget about flat and lifeless sounds. With TNT, you get a tool that can gently warm up the signal, adding analog warmth and harmonics, and transform it into a real explosion of energy with controlled, musical distortion. It’s not just another effect – it’s a creative companion that opens up new possibilities for sound design.
Two Sides of Saturation: Single-Band and Multi-Band
Ourafilmes understands that different tasks require different approaches. That’s why TNT is available in two versions, each with its own unique capabilities:
TNT Single-Band
This version offers a classic, straightforward approach to saturation and distortion. It’s ideal for quickly adding character to the entire sound spectrum. A key feature of the Single-Band version is the “Tone” knob. This control allows you to precisely shape the overall tonal balance of the saturated signal, giving you the ability to emphasize certain frequencies or make the sound brighter or, conversely, denser and darker, depending on your creative needs. This is a great tool for adding an instant “wow effect” or integrating sound into a mix.
TNT Multi-Band
When you need more detailed and surgical control over the saturation process, the Multi-Band version comes to the rescue. It’s equipped with a transparent crossover filter (6 dB per octave), which divides the signal into low-frequency and high-frequency bands. The most interesting thing is that you can apply different saturation/distortion algorithms to each of these bands independently! This gives incredible flexibility: you can preserve dense and clean lows while adding brightness and harmonics in the upper mids and highs, or vice versa – saturate the lows for more weight, leaving the top transparent. Additionally, the Multi-Band version has a “Balance” knob, which allows you to precisely adjust the volume ratio between the low-frequency and high-frequency bands before the final output. This is critically important for maintaining the tonal balance of the mix during complex processing.
Both versions of TNT (Single-Band and Multi-Band) are available in both mono and stereo formats, ensuring full compatibility with any type of audio material and the configuration of your project. Thus, you get as many as four different VST plugins in one package, each ready to perform its specific tasks.
Key Features for Your Workflow
Ourafilmes has made sure that using TNT is as convenient and efficient as possible in your music software:
- Midi Learn: Quick and intuitive assignment of MIDI controllers to any plugin knob (just right-click on the desired control). This allows you to control TNT’s parameters in real time, integrating it into your live performance or studio setup.
- Zero Latency: The plugin works without noticeable delay, making it ideal for use during recording or in projects where precise synchronization is critical.
- Full Automation: All TNT parameters can be fully automated in your DAW, allowing you to create dynamic changes in saturation and distortion throughout the track.
- Key Modifiers: For more precise adjustment, use the Shift key (fine-tuning of parameters). The Control key returns the knob to its default value.
- Clear and Intuitive GUI: The TNT graphical interface is designed to be as clean, intuitive, and easy to use as possible. You immediately see all the necessary controls and can quickly get the desired result without spending time on complex menus.
Ourafilmes TNT is not just a plugin; it’s an accessible tool for shaping a unique sound. Whether you’re working on a hip-hop beat, a rock ballad, an electronic track, or sound effects for a film, TNT offers the flexibility and quality needed to achieve a professional result. Try TNT and add explosive energy and character to your tracks!
