McDSP FutzBox V7
Distortion & Noise Generator Plugin
FutzBox is a distortion and noise generator plug-in for creating low-fidelity versions of audio signals.
Typical post productions require distorted, or 'futzed' versions of dialog and other tracks.
Simulations of radios, cell phones, and televisions are now available in a single software product.
These simulations, called SIMs (Synthetic Impulse Models) provide accurate modeling in an extremely optimized format, allowing FutzBox to use less DSP power than conventional convolution based products.
Furthermore, SIMs can be scaled in real-time and changed on the fly.
In addition to the SIM library of sounds, FutzBox also includes filtering and EQ, distortion, a noise generator, and gating to complete the sonic destruction required.
Original and distorted audio can be mixed in real-time to accommodate scene changes or other automation requirements.
Dialog and Vocals
Varied distortion effects are possible using the FutzBox.
Experiment with the Scale control in the SIM section when a SIM preset is 'almost' what you need.
Low Fidelity
If the goal is to make the music production sound like it is being played on an old tube radio, FutzBox is very capable of such effects.
Signal Dropouts
Any gate, when set too aggressively, can cause incoming audio not to pass to the output. The FutzBox gate is especially suited for such applications.
