Wasted Space is a digital reverb plugin that deliberately pursues a rough and extreme lo-fi feel, designed to replicate aliasing artifacts and distortion found in early digital effects of the 80s. It combines high-quality sound unique to Softube with an intuitive UI, allowing for bold and distinctive expressions in pop and electronic music, as well as sound design.
This plugin truly shines when you want to embrace the “broken texture” rather than the beauty of reverb. You can apply it directly to tracks to bring sounds forward, or use it on a bus to impart an overall shattered lo-fi feel. Additionally, it integrates well with other Softube products like Modular and Amp Room, greatly expanding creative possibilities in sound design.
Key Features
- Authentic lo-fi digital reverb
- Aliasing and filter settings
- Tone adjustment feature
- Intuitive operation and UI
- Compatible with three platforms (plugin / Modular module / Amp Room module)
What is Softube “Fix Phaser”?
Fix Phaser is a modern phaser plugin optimized for contemporary production environments that recreates the characteristic “swish” of analog phasers from the 70s and 80s. It was developed by legendary engineer Paul Wolff, known for his work with API and Tonelux. His technical skill and sense have elevated it from just an effect to a spatial tool that brings life to sound.
This plugin adds dimensionality, movement, and an ethereal sense of space when applied to guitars, drums, vocals, and synths. Particularly, using the “Wide mode” effectively converts mono sources into a natural and convincing stereo image, greatly enhancing the spread in mixes.
Key Features
- Fusion of vintage and modern
- Three-dimensional stereo effects
- Flexible modulation settings
- Sound customization capabilities
- Compatible with three platforms (plugin / Modular module / Amp Room module)
