Waves Manny Marroquin Distortion

10-time Grammy winner Manny Marroquin, known for working with Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, Lizzo, and Future, brings you this extraordinary distortion. Unlike ordinary ones, it uses parallel processing to layer distortion that growls and teases, rather than crushing sounds. Thickening digital synths, adding grit to bass amps, and toughening up drums are just a few of its many capabilities. As Manny Marroquin said, 'Sometimes I just want to feel distortion, whether it's audible or not.' Now, you can both feel and hear distortion that gives any sound a unique character. ### Features - Co-created with Grammy-winning mix engineer Manny Marroquin. - 4 pre-distortion EQ stages target frequencies for saturation. - Transforms sterile synths into mix - friendly sounds. - Enhances drums for a bigger, more powerful impact. - Pre - distortion compressor shapes dynamics. - Attack control sets the speed of distortion development. - Release control decides if distortion lingers with note tails. - Subtle settings make vocals punchier than a limiter. - Improves the sound of single - coil pickups, making them less thin. - Ideal for fixing overly 'clean' sounds.

Using the Waves Manny Marroquin Distortion is a breeze. First, connect it to your audio source. You can start with the pre - distortion EQ stages to focus on the frequencies you want to saturate. Adjust the attack control to decide how quickly the distortion kicks in, and use the release control to determine if the distortion should stay with the note tails. For synths, use it to make them less sterile. Simply dial in the settings until you get the rich, full sound you're looking for. When working with drums, it can beef them up for a more powerful effect. Try different settings to find the right amount of thickness. When it comes to vocals, use subtle settings for a punchier sound than a limiter. And if you have single - coil pickups, this distortion can make them sound less thin. As for maintenance, keep your software up - to - date to ensure optimal performance. Make sure your computer meets the system requirements. And don't forget to save your favorite presets so you can easily access them later.
