About Distortion Effect

About the Distortion Effect

The Distortion Effect adds grit, drive and edge by deliberately clipping or saturating the signal. It is a creative tool for music, sound design and stylized voice effects — think overdriven guitars or a gritty radio voice.

It is intentionally aggressive, so dial it in to taste and keep an eye on the output level.

Frequently Asked Questions

Isn't distortion a bad thing?

Accidental clipping is — but applied deliberately, distortion is a creative effect. Use the LUFS Meter and Volume Normalizer to keep the output level under control.

Can I un-distort audio?

No — distortion is destructive and can't be cleanly reversed. Work on a copy and keep your original.

Flanger Effect

Another bold creative effect.

Dynamic Range Compressor

Control levels after distorting.

Audio Equalizer
