Summary

Trash is a creative distortion plugin by iZotope designed for multi-band saturation and experimental sound design. It offers a flexible interface to transform audio with various distortion types and impulse responses.

Core Features

• Trash module with over 60 distortion types such as Rusty Bits, Cactus, Noise Art, and Distropia, allowing blending of up to four distortion settings on an XY pad.
• Convolve module offering over 600 impulse responses, including reverse reverbs and unique sonic spaces, with the ability to load custom audio files as impulses.
• Multiband processing splitting audio into low, mid, and high frequency bands for targeted distortion application.
• Envelope follower enabling dynamic distortion effects that respond to audio input characteristics.
• Oversampling to reduce aliasing, providing cleaner distortion at higher quality.
• Additional mix controls to blend Trash and Convolve modules across three frequency bands and apply effects adaptively.
• Randomize feature for exploring new sound configurations and "Scream" - a self-oscillating low pass filter for added chaos.
• Swap function to change processing order between distortion and convolution modules per frequency band.
• Intelligent autogain and limiter to maintain output levels safely.
