iZotope – Trash v1.3.0 for WiN

The updated iZotope Trash has been released with a new interface and expanded multi-band 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.

The new version of the plugin has a changed interface, multi-band processing and other changes.

iZotope Trash became the company’s first major tool after it became part of Native Instruments. The company notes that a major update to the third version of the plugin was made possible by merging with a larger player in the market, which provided additional sources of funding.

The main module of the plugin – Trash – is designed to determine distortion settings. The plugin is equipped with 60 types of distortion, while users can combine up to four effect options and work with them simultaneously. The interface also contains an XY pad that mixes the selected effects and determines their final ratio in the signal.

It is noted that distortion can be given additional dynamics and movement by modulating the Drive knob. For example, you can control the intensity of distortion depending on the signal or highlight certain frequencies in the sound. The latter will allow you to emphasize any important points 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 dimension and uniqueness to the sound. The section also received an XY pad for combining several convolutions with each other, and the behavior of the pad can be automated.

One of the main updates to the third version of iZotope Trash was the expanded multi-band processing section, which allows you to assign separate 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.”

A number of tools have also been added to the plugin for deeper 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.

Trash module

Explore new, distorted directions for your sound or simply enjoy combining over 60 distortion types, such as Rusty Bits, Cactus, Noise Art, and Distropia. Blend up to four different distortion settings using the intuitive XY pad. Add dynamics and movement by adjusting the distortion intensity with the Drive knob, and emphasize frequencies for dramatic effect with the Tilt knob.

Convolve module

Integrate your track with other objects and spaces using over 600 creative impulse responses, including reverse reverb, piano cabinets, and plexiglass tubes. Mix up to four impulse responses using the XY pad and explore new dimensions of sound. Additionally, the impulse response loader lets you upload any audio file to infuse its sonic characteristics into your track, whether it’s your cat’s meow or the latest viral music video.

Multiband

Shape the sound by separating it into low, mid, and high frequencies. You can add a slight distortion to just one part of the spectrum or go all-in and ruin everything.

Envelope Follower

Liven up dull loops with Trash’s dynamic distortion, creating sounds that blend together. Discover sounds you never imagined with this intuitive envelope repeater.

Oversampling

Distortion and audio origami go hand in hand. Are you happy with how your audio sounds? Keep scrolling. Is aliasing ruining your tracks? Enable 4x oversampling for the Trash module and make your sound cleaner.

Mix controls

Apply Trash and Convolve to the entire mix, or seamlessly switch both modules between three frequency ranges.

Randomize

Randomly change the settings of the Trash and Convolve XY panels.

Scream

Add even more chaos and color to your sound with this self-oscillating low-pass filter. It screams—if you want it to.

Autogain and Limiter

No need to worry about damaging your speakers. Trash automatically adjusts volume levels with intelligent autogain and limiter settings.

Swap

Swap the Trash and Convolve modules in the signal chain for each frequency band and experiment with an endless number of distortion and spatial effect combinations.
