In this video, I show you how to replicate the Plasma plugin by iZotope in Bitwig Studio. Plasma is a frequency-specific saturator, which means it only saturates certain parts of the frequency spectrum.
While I don't use it personally due to the CPU load and subtle results, I understand why others might find it useful. I explain a workaround using Bitwig's built-in devices to achieve a similar effect, focusing on creating a preset with dynamic frequency saturation based on loudness and EQ adjustments.
Plasma is a frequency-specific saturator, working on certain parts of the spectrum.
My method uses Bitwig's loud split, EQ5, and chain devices to achieve a similar effect.
EQ is used to push specific frequency ranges above the threshold for saturation.
A chain device is used to blend dry and saturated signals with polarity inversion to isolate overtones.
The setup mimics Plasma but may not be an exact replication due to internal differences.
