    How about using parallel processing as an insert while adjusting the wet/dry mix settings? What is your opinion about this?

    A really great video!! The transient smearing of saturation was something I hadn’t even properly considered !

    Saturation induced aliasing May also be an issue on an over saturated mix.

    Why not “parallel process” with the wet/dry mix on one channel?

    You didn't mention tuning the frequency of the saturation, I havent seen any others do it either but it sounds obvious, I dont know if I'm right but have been finding the key and adding saturation in key in the hope it will sound better and not introduce things that shouldnt be there, and that they all gel with each other, some at different octaves depending on which instrument.

    @@Mopark25 I have no idea if I want even or odd harmonics, or a mix, I went with even order, I would think chaotic things like the snare or thrashing guitars, it aint so important, but i'm trying for smooth crystalline sound....or Yello level production...I've a long way to go, ambient stuff will be next upload.
