Triton Audio D2O 1.0.3 macOS [HCiSO] screenshot
TEAM HCiSO | 18 August 2024 | 17.34 MB
Our D2O returns as an audio plugin. We went all out and used AI to capture the soul and nuances of the original D2O. The plugin offers everything from warmth to full blown saturation. A versatile tool for all sources that surpasses the original hardware limitations.

Functions main plugin
• HI / LO – sets the impedance of the input transformer. This will result in a different sound.
• Ø / NRM – flip phase with 180 degrees.
• GAIN – sets the amount of warmth / saturation.
• TUBE / FET – toggle between fet and tube gain stage for a different kind of saturation.
• ON / OFF – bypass the plugin.

Extended features
• INPUT – set your input gain before the main plugin.
• HIGH PASS – roll of low frequencies.
• TILT EQ – tilt the complete audio spectrum to high or low.
• OUTPUT – set your output gain after the main plugin.
• MIX – Mix dry and processed signal.

In use
Lower gain settings can be used to achieve warm sounds. When pushing the gain knob, saturation will increase. Saturation can be tamed with the mix knob. If more saturation is desired you can turn up the input knob and turn down the output knob. This way you can drive the D2O much harder for more saturation. Use the high pass filter and tilt eq to finetune your signal. For instance most electric guitars will benefit from a little high pass filtering.

In 2012, we unveiled the D2O Microphone Preamp. With its unique blend of solid-state electronics and subminiature tubes, the D2O offered a versatile sonic palette that appealed to musicians and engineers. Availability of parts and manufacturing costs became an issue, so we stopped producing the D2O after a decade.

Today our D2O preamp returns as an audio plugin. This isn’t just another plugin. We’ve harnessed neural networks with artificial intelligence to capture the soul and nuances of the D2O, marking a departure from traditional circuit modelling. Our approach offers a rich, authentic sound, supplemented with modern features such as tilt EQ, high-pass filter (HPF), and mix control—enhancements the original hardware couldn’t offer.

What sets this plugin apart is its ability to navigate the sonic extremes—from gentle warmth to aggressive saturation— making it a versatile tool for enhancing a wide range of sources, including vocals, guitars, drums, and even the mix bus. Operating in real-time on the CPU, this plugin redefines the digital audio landscape, granting producers and engineers the power to infuse their projects with the D2O’s legendary warmth without hardware constraints.

AAX not included

Once again... If there's no AAX in the title or description, no AAX should be expected to be included or working in the release. Please stop posting this in comments. This is your final warning about this.

Thank you, but the presets were not installed.

For some reason the installer misses the path to the presets.
To get them do this:
go to the path: /Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Triton Audio
In there you will find the presets. Move the 'Triton Audio' folder to the path: /Users/Shared/
If you can't find the presets in the path I indicated, then open the installer in Pacifist and copy the Triton Audio folder, containing the presets, to /Users/Shared/
If paedophilia is just an orientation issue, then burying you all is just a matter of gardening...

I compared it with Decapitator, and I think I’ll remove Triton Audio D2O. With all due respect to the developer and cracker, they may have done a great job, but Decapitator still offers more possibilities (for those who were once lucky enough to buy it at a discount on Mac).
I think Triton Audio D2O is suitable for those who want their music to sound louder, even louder! But Decapitator offers a deeper sound.
I don't know why I decided to write something like a review today. Wishing everyone good coffee and tasty meat.

Ill quote my comment and Stevie's from the windows triton d20 section as to why this plugin is really not all that.

quote by ZeldaKingThanks Bubbix! just analyzed this in plugin doctor. No ripple thank god. but the harmonics are very very dirty with alot of aliasing. and no option for oversampling. I would skip this one and wait for threebodtech deep vintage.


quote by Stevie Dudegood example of a bad plugin. apart from everything people already mentioned above, you can see the harmonics are static for the whole frequency range meaning the developer wasn't even bother to tune the saturation to match the hardware AT ALL. Sending the signal to the waveshaping processing is standard way of doing saturation for hardware emulation, but those that care, they try to tune it so it match the hardware they are referencing.

Example 1 - Triton Audio D2O -> Screenshot
- from the graphic it is showing that the plugin generate a certain pattern of harmonic static from 0Hz to 20Hz which is impossible for a hardware unit. Can't tell if they even care to test the hardware unit and match it with the plugin. At best, they probably sent standard 1kHz sine wave and assume it's the same for the whole frequency range. IMO it's lazy and in plugin land nowadays this is lying and making the plugin very much a snake oil. Every single saturation mode on Fabfilter Saturn 2 is tuned to the respective reference it models whatever that may be. It's not static, that's how thing is, you don't even have to run an experiment to make sense of this.

Oh yeah those aliasing on the high end too. Unacceptable for a preamp emulation these days. It had one job and suck at it. What's the point then ? There's another thing that good preamp plugin known for which the eq curve non-linearities when it is pushed. Non existent in this plugin.


Example 2 - Fuse Audio VPRE-2C - Screenshot
- this is the standard of analog preamp emulation, at least for all algo plugin. From the graphic it can be seen that the harmonics pattern generated is different at the lower end than it is on the high end, probably how it is with the hardware it emulates. I'm not saying this is 100% accurate or the hardware 100% react this way with its saturation and harmonics generated, but it's showing that the developer probably measured and try to match as best as he could, he tuned it so the plugin more or less give the same harmonics generated throughout the frequency spectrum as the preamp although it's understandable that to get it 100% accurate is beyond our technology today (or simply too inefficient). Important to notice that, he actually tried! that matters! A lot of good plugin these days are like this. The dev tried, they measured and try to match it. On the graphic can clearly see how aliasing perfectly managed too.

It's known EQ curve (it's something else but in plugin land it's simulated that way) of the plugin will bent the more signal pushed into it and goes in non-linearity which really simulates analog clipping plus other stuff that's happening. I'm not really a fan of that for a preamp plugin and rather have it pretty much flat as possible but not 100% flat. The Fuse plugin have a little of that thing where it's probably the dev choice to not make the extremes available because it sounded bad so he limits to what's usable only. The D2O, you can smash it to hell and none of that thing whatsover meaning the dev didn't even bother trying.
Witches of the gods… for the people.

yes it keeps reseting to default .. even with sudo comands etc.. as soon as you move a khob it activates again. but knob by knob .. i mean it save the settings but the sound is OFF you have to move every knob .

I don’t know this plugin. But Decapitator sounds flat. It was good 20 years ago. There are so much better options today. Not saying it had no use. There are just better sounding saturation plugins.

Which ones, for example?
