In this video, I dive into what the "Sausage Fattener" plugin actually does. This plugin, which has become famous (and infamous) in the music production community, mainly functions as a soft clipper with some specific features. I also show you how to replicate its effect in Bitwig Studio using a custom preset that I’ve created. This preset closely mimics the behavior of the Sausage Fattener, so you can get the same results without needing the actual plugin.

Key Points:

Sausage Fattener Overview: It’s essentially a soft clipper with a built-in compressor and a low-cut filter.

Main Features:

Fatness Knob: Works as a gain knob to control input loudness.

Color Knob: Functions as a peak EQ, pushing specific frequencies into the clipper.

Compressor: Positioned before the clipper to prevent excessive clipping.

Custom Bitwig Preset: I created this to replicate the Sausage Fattener’s effects using Bitwig’s tools, including an FX Grid, EQ, and a time shift to counter latency.

Free Preset: You can download it and use it to get the same results in your projects.

this plugin won the loudness war

Hard or soft clipping is loved by many, sometimes without people even knowing. Sausage Fattener is one of those plugins that makes things loud with clipping, and it was, at one point, one of the most beloved and hated plugins among producers. It reduces dynamics, adds color, and is easy to use. In this video, I show you what it does and provide a preset for Bitwig that almost replicates it exactly.

how about making a Quadrantid Swarm clone in Bitwig? I'm interested to do it but I don't have your skills!
