Bit Crusher by Daniel McKemie (Released)

A digital degradation effect that combines two classic forms of lo-fi distortion: bit depth reduction (quantization) and sample rate reduction (decimation). Together they emulate the character of early digital samplers, 8-bit consoles, and vintage hardware with limited converter resolution.

The signal is first quantized to a reduced number of bits, introducing the harsh harmonic distortion known as quantization noise. It is then resampled at a lower effective rate using a sample-and-hold stage, producing aliasing artifacts above the new Nyquist frequency.

    Who doesn’t like a bit crusher? It’s very good. Easy to dial in. Less than the price of my shoelaces 😀

    But why? 🤗

    Exactly. Isn't the AUv3 market saturated full of bitcrushers already? 😂

    Does it sound different from (or better than) other bit crushers? I find there's quite a lot of difference between the good ones and the weak ones. Wreck by All The Machines, released last week, sounds very good and has a lot more options, for just $4. Bitjuggler remains the one with most options in terms of the way the sample rate reduction and bitchcrushing sound, but I'm definitely pretty fond of Wreck.

    But yeah, easy to dial in is an important factor. On some sample rate reduction apps it's quite hard to dial in the frequency you want quickly and accurately, to tune them right, the knobs sometimes don't have enough resolution.

    I agree - its all about frequency and tuning manipulation to get the bit crushing to be "musical"

    It does sound different to me - given that they are all very similar and essentially doing the same sort of thing. Could I pick it out in a blind test? - probably not, but I bet there is not many that could. I’ve got Bitjuggler but rarely give it an outing. I’ll have a look at Wrek.
