McDSP FutzBox v6.1.0.8 WIN-AudioUTOPiA screenshot
TEAM AudioUTOPiA | 20.12.2015 | 86.5 MB
FutzBox is a distortion and noise generator plug-in for creating low fidelity versions of audio signals. Typical post productions require distorted, or ‘futzed’ versions of dialog and other tracks. Simulations of radios, cell phones, and televisions are now available in a single software product. These simulations, called SIMs (Synthetic Impulse Models) provide accurate modeling in an extremely optimized format, allowing FutzBox to use less DSP power than conventional convolution based products. Furthermore, SIMs can be scaled in real-time and changed on the fly.

In addition to the SIM library of sounds, FutzBox also includes filtering and EQ, distortion, a noise generator, and gating to complete the sonic destruction required. Original and distorted audio can be mixed in real-time to accommodate scene changes or other automation requirements.

Features

- Library of Synthetic Impulse Models (SIMs)
- Configurable ‘futz’ effects including filtering, EQ, and distortion
- Flexible noise generator with ducking capability
- Hyper-sensitive gate for signal dropout effects
- Double precision processing
- Ultra low latency
- Mono and stereo versions

So many those "VSTi"s are created to compress, filter, distort sound... etc.
I think today "music" is worse and worse and this is one of main reason for it.
Is there any good plugins or collections they made sound RICH or better?
I don't need anymore all those thousands "VST"s they would destroy my sound.
I know how to destroy it without "plugins". But I need to make it sounding BETTER .

Anyone ?

btw: Of course, thanks anyway for all you doing for all us, guys!

WAVES plug-ins, PLUG-IN ALLIANCE, T-RACKS are all i need for my productions but can always do more with new stuff too.

Its not what you have its how well do you use them

good tracking, stock plugs and a nice pair of ears could do the trick 99% of the time

Man, you're putting your finger where it hurts: a lot of producer, and almost no musician at all.
I'm not saying it about audioz' users, by in general.
To answer your question, personally I'm using izotope's stuff fabfilter and overloud, in order to clean and balance elements of my tracks.
I f I had the chance I would love to give a try to soundtoys plugs.

Yeah, thanks for all your replies, but I'm forgot to ask also, I would like to know what types of music you are producing and how are you "success" (do you a pro or just "amateur", who produce for yourself and your friends only, and you are happy with that) ... ? I mean, many of you can advice to me plugins for rock or trance, but I need plugins for making great sounding house stuffs, like funky house, soulful house or/and deep house, not just trance, dance, techno, or rock and country music. Sorry for bothering anyone with this and many thanks to you again for all replies and advice's regarding this.

And this also to know: I am able to make great sounding music track BUT SOMETHING is wrong there, I tried many plugins, compressors, LUFS, EQs, Matrix mastering technique, etc, etc.. BUT SOMETHING is still NOT there!
?

well first off you should try to picture what this "SOMETHING" is.
compare your mixes with others etc... and try to figure out where yours lack.

then we could make out a more specific answer!

"Shit in, shit out", that's the rule.
If you want a better sound (more "clean", more "detailed", etc.), try better mics, preamps, A/D converters, synths (hardware or virtual), in short: better inputs.
Once your sound is "in the box", nothing will never make it sound better. Period.
At best, something like an EQ will "polish" it but if the take is crappy, even the more expensive piece of hardware/software will be pointless.
Maybe I'll live so long that I'll forget her. Maybe I'll die trying.

Mstering is a hit and miss process as it takes years to learn and these days most producers are doing it them self with their DAWS, as we sat IN THE BOX, if you want experience its hard as no studio gives you a chance to work for them even if you say i will work for FREE.

I asked alot and no one helped me, used DAWS and saw that ABLETON is the one for me, easy and fast production, just saving up to start my own small independent label and see what happens.

Try and mix and see what sounds better for you, get the cheap earphones to the most expensive studio monitors and see how they sound, thats my advice for you

This a bit off topic here, but it's an interesting conversation, why don't you create a thread at Audiosex?
Personally I'm going each time a bit more minimal too with vst. Having the right ones, the ones I know how to use, and caring a lot about volume and pan.
That does not mean I lost curiosity about new stuff, but I try more and more critically.

There are 101 million tools at your disposal these are just some of them. The way tracks are mixed, frequencies, loudness, space & texture all play a part & you can use tools to help things fit & work together. When people do not know how to use them & when or they do not take care to arrange & select the right sounds in the first place the results will suck.

if your vsts are destroying your sound then it looks like you need to actually figure out how to effectively use the vsts for what they are made to do and then from there you will have a better understanding of why these things are used.

I agree with you. I used hadrware back in the old days, then switched to plugins, and now went back to hardware. First I was a newbie, then came plugins, now my ears have developed and there is no doubt; hardware analog sounds way better.
Even digital hardware sounds better than plugins.

I wanted to get rid of the plugins and go back to using only hardware, but its really hard to move away from the comfort of DAW :-)
No I find myself drooling over all this new iLOK2 stuff...

If you use at least some hardware for soundsource, or put some sounds thru a tape recorder and back into the DAW, it makes a hell of a difference. Get rid of some of that sterile computer sound.

On a side note, I wish that people would stop squashing their music to death and stop using the sidechain pumping effects. Bring back dynamcis and breathe some life into your music. The vocals these days are just a competition of who can scream loudest to cath our attention.

Where is the beauty of music? It is all about lifestyle now. We have all the tools, all the creative force, and nothing to say. Its all Mickey Mouse club and f***ing on the dancefloor.

That's not entirely true. If you are focusing on over limited music then yea...they will sound distorted.
But distortion is used all the time on every and any sounds. Bass,snare,leads,Guitar, even an entire song...Just to name a few. There are tons of music out there that uses distortion that one can't even tell.
The amounts applied are usually 2-5-10% distortion and that's it. So a device like FUTZBOX is not meant to destroy your sound at 100% wet all the time. It's a tool that allows you to get a particular type of sound, be it all distorted or just an invisible amount.

When was the last time we heard scratches,pops,clicks and low noise/hiss in any Music? when was the last time we heard ..the bass on the left the piano on the right the main vocal center and the chorus on the left, the drum wayyy back in the room with no punch at all...? all hard panned by the way and all in MONO and terrible reverb !!!!!
In my opinion I don't think today music sounds worst. I think today's music sound better then they did in the past, so much better that before the explosion of DAWs engineers didn't like using Plugins because it sounded thin and harsh A.K.A "too clean", until the first "Distortion" plugins where introduced to bring that Analogue dirtiness and fatness, for example Parallel compression. Imagine that .... FROM DISTORTION!

Your statement is a bit unfair...I produce and mix my own stuff (I make hip hop, I'm an olf dude and I make old school stuff, mostly sampled and a few synths)...Hip hop productions, even the trappy modern ones, are not very busy in terms of instruments, melodies, harmonies and all that stuff, that's definitly for sure...But if anything - beside good MCs of course - you need greats fxs - with precision in the workflow they offer and a good sound- you don't necessarely need much but you need good ones that do exactly what you want. A good saturation/distortion tool is a must have and if you have several (they all have differents sonic qualities) it is better. I need that imperfection and that warmth in my productions, and I work on a computer, so.... And there is also what Zoom Zoom rightfully wrote, distortion can also be an effective way of fixind/hidding problems...
Mixing is a different story though...For my prod I work under Reaper where you have absolutely great modulation tools and no limit in terms of routing capabilities, so for creativity for me it is the best (Ableton and FLStudio are good too). But I use Samplitude Pro (thanks Tracer !) for my mixing because of it great stock eqs, compressors, and reliable mixing tools in general. With izotope stuffs and Dmg in addition to SAM, I can fix almost any problem and mix however I wish to (the sound engine of samplitude is better than Reaper, and one of it's quality is its "analogy" sound when you start pushing it). No need for fx excess in the mixing process. Good reverb and a good delay unit at the most.
The Soundtoys suite is great, I've tried the x32 cracked suite for a while, but I saved money and bought the real deal half priced when they finally gave up with ilok2. Great tools for producing.
But I also read great review of mcdmg futzbox, so thanks for that amazing release(s) that allow us alll to give it a real try...All the teams - new ones old ones - are spoiling us so much, I'm really gratefull...

Nope, all modern DAWs have same sound quality. You cant say that Samplitude's sound engine is better than Reaper's.
  Resident 5.10.2015 172

Nonsense, I can and I do again. Every Daw sound differents because they all handle sound differently, that's just a fact. Which one you think sounds better is a matter of taste of course, but they do have different sounds. And I also work with Reaper so I'm not saying it sounds bad, but for my mix I prefer Samplitude sound quality. No debate here, it is just my taste.

Hey repel .you are asking for the music ,who was making by audioz members , and you habe a bad feeling about the flood of vst's . For me it's a Chance to work some times with a VST , and see how it's works . After all the time , i seperate only some plugs who really works for me , and more and more i went back to Hardware . For a real good and warm sound , a Combination of soft and hardware works very well . Take a look at softube's chanels , and the slate digital bundel , thats real good for a deep , Analog like sound . And hardware ? For me is the Tegeler Audio Manufaktur the best company for Produkts who make your sound rich , beautpiful and deep . They produce HandMade Preamps ,Compressors , EQ's etc. , and is 100℅ analog . And beliebte me , that sound is real fat and beautiful . ....I make Jazz/soul , drum&Bass but also experimental music . I don't can beliebte my live , without making music , it's a big part of my live . all audioz members , have a nice chrismas
