Dada Life Sausage Fattener Plug-In

Created by Swedish electronic music duo Dada Life and based on several techniques used in creating their own mixes, the Sausage Fattener plug-in can be utilised with most software recording programs both as a compressor for individual tracks or as part of a mastering patch for final mixes.

The Sausage Fattener only has two control parameters (Gain and Color), represented by old school, effects-pedal style on-screen knobs. With those deceptively simple parameters many sound improvements can be made. The Sausage Fattener, when used on a single channel with moderate settings, will function as a musical compressor and, if cranked, a dirty distortion effect is revealed. A fun feature is the actual on-screen sausage that smiles on the lower settings, getting angrier and fatter as the ‘heat’ is turned up. The plug-in can also be used on a bus (for example all of the drums and the bass) or an entire mix as a mastering plug-in.

The Sausage Fattener requires Windows (XP SP2, Vista, Windows 7, including native 64-bit version) on Pentium 4 (or equivalent) or higher, or Mac OS X 10.5 or later (Intel 32/64-bit) operating systems, and is designed to function with most recording software.

At just $29 USD, the Sausage Fattener by Dada Life is a most effective and economical way to get more from a mix.
