Description
iZotope Trash Overview
An updated iZotope Trash has been released with a new interface and expanded multiband processing.
iZotope Trash is described as a modular distortion effect suitable for processing individual signals and tracks, as well as groups, buses, sends and entire mixes. The instrument offers a large selection of distortion options with the ability to morph between them using the XY pad.
iZotope Trash Features
The new version of the plugin has a modified interface, multi-band processing and other changes.
iZotope Trash is the company’s first major tool since its acquisition by Native Instruments. The company notes that the major update to version 3 of the plug-in was made possible by a merger with a larger player in the market, which provided additional sources of funding.
The main module of the plugin — Trash — is designed to define distortion settings. The plugin is equipped with 60 types of distortion, and users can combine up to four effect options and work with them simultaneously. The interface also has an XY pad that mixes the selected effects and determines their final ratio in the signal.
It is noted that distortions can be given additional dynamics and movement by modulating the Drive knob. For example, you can control the intensity of distortions depending on the signal or highlight certain frequencies in the sound. The latter will allow you to emphasize any important moments in the signal or the entire composition, the developers believe.
The plugin also received a Convolve space module with a large set of presets. Users can also load their own impulses and convolutions to add more volume and uniqueness to the sound. The section also received an XY pad for combining several convolutions with each other, while the pad’s behavior can be automated.
One of the major updates in iZotope Trash version 3 is an expanded multiband processing section, allowing you to assign individual distortion and convolution algorithms to specific frequency ranges. The section is combined with a set of common controls, giving users “a powerful tool for creating interesting moments in their music.”
The plugin also includes a number of tools for more in-depth shaping of the final sound. For example, the signal can be passed through an envelope follower with four different receivers or sent to a self-oscillating filter for additional timbre processing.
Additionally, the plugin received input and output signal level controls, a limiter, and a separate automatic gain adjustment function. The latter, according to the developers, will simplify work with the processed signal.
