Not exactly what I expected

After watching the 5-minute Tips (those videos are great by the way) I expected an over-the-top distortion machine but that's not really what this is. Great saturation and harmonic distortion but kind of a one-trick-pony. Maybe I'm using it wrong. Still really useful in many applications.

Was not expecting that…

I was always curious about the Culture Vulture and randomly took advantage of the free demo…WOW!!! This thing is a really awesome version of the soundtoys destressor (I intentionally put it in lowercase to get my point across). I do Hip Hop, RnB and Dancehall and the Culture Vulture will be a permanent fixture on my drum buss. Also does some beautiful things on sub basses.

The analogue sound of Thermionic Culture Vulture

This plugin has it's own unique character of analogue gear. Tube and tape effect that even by overloaded settings it gives the harmonic distortion of the analogue roundness, thickness, panchiness in the sound and creats the energy that I try to achieve on a digital domane projects. Thermionic can be used on single channel giving a character and present on guitars, bass, lead sunths; even on vst instruments to make them sounding natural and real by enriching the harmonics and enhance the artifacts of analogue sound. The same time works for busses to creat unity. Thermionic is a versatile pluging that depends how you tune on different sources it gives the energy hot sound and corrects digital wackiness and artifacts and brings life to any track. I'm really happy to own this plugin to my collection of UAD library because it gives me multiple choice to work on diverse projects.
Thank you Universal Audio for making our digital platforms sounding close by to analogue.

Saturation for days!!!!

I honestly can’t get enough of this plug-in. There are NO RULES with this. I slap it on EVERYTHING! Especially brass/wind instruments. Gives it that extra body regardless of the mic used.

Sweet extra heat

I have just tried the Culture Vulture on my rear bus, and gives a lot of extra warm saturation to the mix. There's so many colours and ways you can go with the Culture Vulture. From subtle to very distorted. A must have.

This one goes on the vocal

I added this one to my arsenal to have something different for vocals if it needs a push forward in the mix.

A little something dirty

Works great on the drum buss, for just a little extra pronouncing.

Fantastic

From subtle valve warmth to total distortion is amazing how this modeling was achieved, love it even on mix bus acting as an "exciter".
