Here is a special treat. It’s an audio effect rack to make any sound your throw at it growl.

It’s based on two eq’s with 2 peaks and 1 notch. When the EQ’s peaks are being modulated it make the sound growl.

I would recommend experimenting with different EQ settings and automating/modulating them. You can even try to use one of Live’s Format EQ presets. The secret here is movement. So map the EQ peaks and notches to a Macro and automate it.

For extra bite I’ve added a few distortion, Saturation and compression plugins.

Please note that this effect boost the volume of the sound significantly but not to worry. There is a Limiter at the end of the effect chain.

 

Macros

You have 5 Macro Controls to mess around with:

Talk – The main Macro that controls the Talk and makes the growling sound.

Yoy –  Controls a Redux plugin to add some digital distortion to the signal

Amp – Blends the sound with a guitar amplifier emulation (recommend to put on low level for added texture).

Saturate – Adds gain to a waveshaper device.

Volume –  Overall volume of the sound controlled by the Glue Compressor make-up gain
