Mr.Warmer plugin — saturation and musical frequency enhancement.

Introduction

Mr.Warmer is an audio plugin that "fattens" your mixes through saturation color and musical frequency enhancement. Designed for the final mastering stage, it offers linear phase processing and Mid/Side mode.

Interface

Mr.Warmer's interface is designed to be intuitive and straightforward.

Level

Controls the overall signal level of the saturator. As you increase this parameter, even and odd harmonics are gently applied to the signal, resulting in a natural and pleasing compression.

Color

Controls the weight and energy of the harmonics applied to the signal. Turn it up for a warmer, thicker sound.

Tilt

Adjusts the tonal balance of the signal before the saturator, tilting from warm lows to silky highs. Pre-saturator TILT EQ.

Mix

Blends between the original (dry) and processed (wet) signal. 100% = fully processed.

Mid / Side

Controls where saturation is applied using a percentage: 0% processes only Mid (center), 50% processes full stereo, and 100% processes only Side (laterals).

Modes: Linear Phase / Oversampling

Two independent processing options. "Linear Phase" enables linear phase filtering on the Tilt EQ for transparent processing without phase distortion. "Oversampling" increases the internal sample rate (x1, x2, x4 or x8) for higher quality harmonic processing and reduced aliasing.

Color Boost

Adds a boost to the "Color" processing stage, applying more intermodulated harmonics between each other for a more powerful saturation. Ideal for creative processing where you want to push the character further.

In / Out

Adjusts the input level, applying more gain to add more energy to the saturation stage, and the output level if you want to compensate for the volume increase.

Mr.Warmer includes factory presets ready to use. You can also save and load your own presets for quick access to your favorite settings.
