These plug-ins add huge sucking compression, grit, dirt, distortion, and take drums (but try it anywhere) to a wonderful hellish nightmare. Devil-Loc and Devil-Loc Deluxe are a SoundToys twist inspired by the classic Shure Level-Loc.
Whether utilizing it on beats or experimenting on a wide variety of sources, Sound Toys Devil-Loc provides the perfect amount of evil to make your tracks come alive.The evil analog level destroyers are here.
“What I really like about the Devil-Loc,” recalled one reviewer, is “how well it worked in a plug-in chain.” Others mentioned experimenting on vocals where “ gave a nice bite to a song’s chorus” when layered, as well as “hyped dubstep bass lines to add that ‘rancid’ edge.” It was very easy to added room ambience, “hammering pump,” or “a subtle edge to loops to allow them to cut through a mix.” While it’s very easy to “overbake the processing,” all the users made nods to “bringing out the beast” in snares and toms by carefully dialing in the sound. Testers felt Darkness provided “an additional dimension to the sound” for “increased sound sculpting possibilities.”ĭevil-Loc Deluxe adds Darkness, Release and MixĪs mentioned, percussion and drums are where the Devil-Loc shines, both on individual instruments and loops. An output mix control is also provided for parallel compression. The Deluxe version adds a fast/slow Release attribute, as well as Darkness, a low-pass filter after the Crunch stage. The compression is modeled after a FET-based reduction circuit, which provides subtle to obvious “piston pumping, over-saturated action.” Crush is your compression, while Crunch provides makeup gain allowing you to overdrive the output stage for increased distortion.
Sound Toys' Devil-Loc is based on the Shure Level-Locĭespite this small deficit, “it was cake” to use the Devil-Loc with Crunch and Crush being your main knobs. The Devil-Loc’s mojo is definitely suited for drums and percussion, but a couple of our evaluators found it quite satisfying on other bits of audio as well.
