D16 Silverline Distortions Explained

Join production expert Larry Holcombe for a highly informative video course on three distortion plug-ins from D16's Silverline series. In this D16 video course, Larry will cover Redoptor 2, Decimort, and Devastor 2 in detail, including all the parameters and components, so you'll see and hear exactly how to get the most from these characterful effects in your own productions. These videos are designed for new D16 Silverline users.

Videos

• Decimort Pt. 1 (12:38) - In this first video, we cover the preamp, bit reduction, and sample rate reduction controls. We also demonstrate the DC, dithering, and jitter controls, which open up the range of tones that can be produced by the plugin.

• Decimort Pt. 2 (04:54) - We discuss the filter and output sections, saving and browsing presets, and assigning MIDI controllers in this video.

• Devastor 2 Pt. 1 (07:03) - Next up, we start looking at Devastor 2, focusing on the Dynamics module to squash dynamic range. This is followed by the Clipper parameters to introduce saturation and distortion using different overdrive flavors.

• Devastor 2 Pt. 2 (07:47) - This video is concerned with the signal routing and filter options, as the filters can be setup both pre and post clipping.

• Redopter 2 (12:50) - Finally, we cover the various filters, dynamics modules, and tube drive section of Redopter 2, with which we can bring some analog tube saturation and color to our mixes.

• D16 Distortions in Action (15:35) - In this last video, we put the three plugins through their paces on various track ideas.
