This software introduces digital crustiness to your audio signal for an improved effect.
One of the most recognizable effects of Bitsmacker is the sample rate reduction, which gives you the signature sound of vintage digital audio. A high quality audio file, such as a modern CD, is possible due to a high sampling rate that takes thousands of snapshots of an audio signal per second. However, by reducing the sampling rate, you can get a muddier version of the audio that carries a unique vintage sound.
Another important feature of Bitsmacker is the bit reduction effect. By limiting the volume accuracy of any given sample, you can achieve a crunchy, noisier signal. At just one bit, all audio data must be either full blast or completely silent. An analogy would be like painting a picture, color can give you more detail, but flat black and white can also be used to great effect.
Lastly, Bitsmacker introduces a dual parametric EQ feature that consists of two totally independent, one-band parametric EQs that allows you to customize your frequencies to match your desired outputs. You can boost or kill any frequency before and after applying distortion. With higher gain settings, you can achieve even more distortion for your audio.
Overall, Bitsmacker is an excellent software that can provide you with a unique and vintage sound that replicates classic video game systems and vintage samplers. The software also comes with a range of features that you can use to customize your audio output to your preference.
