Are You Saturated??

Unless your talking about a Nord then the colour red is usually a bad thing in audio. In the digital realm, it signifies clipping/clipping distortion which is unanimously considered a 'bad' thing. However, if you push analoge tape to its limits you don't get clipping, you get saturation.... aaahh yes, sweet saturation. It actually sounds great. I often saturate many things with tape.... sometimes a wierd melodic line but usally a secondary drum part. that's all im gonna say about it..... just listen to it. listen to any of boards of Canadas work and you shall see what I mean!
