Saturation is a crucial part of the “MASS” sound, helping to forge a cohesive, larger-than-life quality for impactful cinematic work. In MASS STRINGS, this kind of processing and effect is key to gluing the acoustic and synthetic layers together, adding warmth, grit, and harmonic richness.
We blended multiple strings sessions and recordings, tape-bounced synth layers, and hardware-driven re-amping to create a kind of Brutalist String Orchestra.
It trades textbook realism for texture, saturation, and sonic mass. You won’t find every articulation under the sun — just the ones that hit you in the chest.
