fedDSP has announced the release of a zero-latency low-end harmonic enhancement processor for producers, mixers, and beatmakers who want more weight, character, and control from their sound.
The bigBASS effect plugin is built on years of experimenting with how low end fits in a mix.
A source can have plenty of low end and still feel small. That is the problem bigBASS was built to solve. It is a zero-latency low-end and harmonic enhancement chain featuring different ways to build low-end weight: RESO gives you clean, focused basses; GRIT brings in the dirt, adding harmonics that help bass translate on smaller speakers, and DRIVE adds proprietary saturation designed specifically to make the lows feel thicker and more exciting. You can use them on their own, or blend them together until the low end feels right.
Because low end alone is never the whole picture, bigBASS also gives you a HI side to add edge, presence, and upper harmonic movement. This can either help you to rebalance after a big bass boost, or can be used on its own to make mid or high frequencies pop. HI’s full-range focus control lets you target the exact area that needs energy, from low thickness to midrange definition and top-end shine.
And it does not stop there. As with every fedDSP plug-in, we made sure to include additional advanced controls: a HEADROOM knob that sets the internal headroom of the processor and, together with Input and Output, makes gain staging a breeze. Transformer emulation to give the signal even more attitude. A global Mix for easy parallel processing. And our signature final limiter, so you can clamp any peaks exceeding 0dB FS.
