From The mouth of Mau (08/03/08)...
"Some people say what Sonnox Inflator does is magic, and the technology is patented. Its not patented, but it sounds good almost magical. All it is doing is adding digital saturation to the signal to produce harmonics, which we know from the analog world, when used in moderation can sweeten a sound.
But it costs 210.00
Well you can get the same affect with even more control and value style harmonics, with voxengo's Varisaturator for 70.00
Save money! I have included screenshots to show you the frequency generated by these two plugins, they do the same thing, they sound the same when the valve saturation is bypassed. Anyone that disagrees - I've given you the proof.
Picture 2 is with Varisaturator on
Add this too vocals for that "air" or sheen, it can also make your mixes brighter and more pronounced when used correctly, warm as well if you need. Note, the effect is subtle, but worth it. Varisaturator is very good on bass with the valve saturation, and on a drum set, adding that analog feel (sonnox does the same).
Also, Voxengo plugs do not need dongles :-)
For those using protools, well, sonnox or analog channel would be the best bet. But for those using Sonar, Logic, Nuendo/Cubase, Reaper, EnergyXt2, Tracktion, DP6, varisaturator kicks ass and will save you money!"

Good info. Thanks for the analysis. Wonder if they would actually null on programme material.
