FutzBox

More often than not, in the post-production phase of mixing, you may need to add some distortion or a futzed version of dialog and other tracks. Not only are SIMs (Synthetic Impulse Models) such as cell phones, radios or television widely available, but they can provide accurate modeling in an optimized format.

FutzBox is a plugin that can help you manage the post-production distortion and hence, create low fidelity versions of the signal. The plugin in available in two versions, namely Native and HD, each supporting specific formats, namely AAX DSP, AAX Native, AU and VST, which are available in either mono and stereo.

Thanks to the advancement of SIMs, the utility can now use less DSP power, be modified on the fly and scaled in real-time so that you get the sound you are looking for. You can easily create scene changes and automation requirements, especially since the tool comes with a hyper-sensitive gate for signal dropout effects. It goes without saying that the original and distorted sounds can also be mixed together.

In addition to the extensive SIM library, the plugin packs several other advanced features that can come in handy in post production. You can take advantage of the noise generator, filtering, EQ and gating to obtain a spectacular sonic destruction.
