It works to help beef up almost any type of signal - from making MP3s sound warmer to giving your synth some oomph to making drums and bass sound dirty and raw and punchy. Which is fine because at $29 you can’t complain with the results you get out of it. But you can also use the plug-in on a bus (for example all the drums and the bass) or the whole track as a mastering plug-in.” - Dada Life Fatter, Greasier Soundĭeveloped with the help of developers Tailored Noise, the Sausage Fattener is a clever way of giving other producers Dada Life’s signature compression sound without giving up the secret of how they really did it in the first place. Turn it up and you have a dirty bastard of distortion. Use the Sausage Fattener on a single channel with moderate settings as a musical compressor. With those seemingly simple parameters you can create loads of different sounds. “The Sausage Fattener only has two knobs.

But then suddenly many of our peers were also touting the Sausage Fattener’s capabilities and reasonable price ($29) as a useful tool that helps boost your signal with a bit of compression and warmth. It started with names like Tiësto, Kaskade, Diplo, and Laidback Luke. Effects devices should be serious, shouldn’t they? But then we watched a slow and steady conquest as producers big and small started touting the Sausage Fattener’s abilities. The smiling sausage and minimalist approach to control didn’t look like the plug-in effects we are used to. When we first saw photos of the Sausage Fattener appear online last year, we assumed it was a joke. “Hook up this fat bastard to your favorite DAW (AU and VST on both PC/Mac) and get dirty,” explains Dada Life. In response, they made a plug-in effect that will help you get their sought-after saturation and compression in a small and affordable package. “How do you get that sound?” is a question that Swedish electronic music producers Dada Life get asked a lot. In this first edition we look at Dada Life’s ubiquitous Sausage Fattener, a compressor/saturator effect that has crept into many studios over the past year.

Welcome to Dubspot’s new Plug-In Spotlight series, where we’ll be investigating noteworthy VST/AU virtual instruments and effects that can help expand the sonic palette and depth of your productions.
