Cobalt Saphira

“I love how harmonic distortion and the nonlinearity of analog gear affect and color a sound. It makes the sound seem much more real and 3D to my ears. Cobalt Saphira does a fantastic job emulating just that. It can add warmth, edge and width to your tracks. I love what it does to virtual instruments and instruments recorded direct. It really adds that extra element of realness to it. But where I feel Saphira really shines is on subgroups and busses. It adds dimension and depth that helps glue the mix together.”

“I recently used the Cobalt Saphira and The King’s Microphones chained together for a vocal effect. Cobalt Saphira is capable of providing very accurate harmonic distortion, tailored to a specific vocal range, and the King’s Microphone added a particular vintage style EQ. Together these delivered the exact vocal sound I was looking for, in an instantly recallable package.”

“I use Cobalt Saphira on cello. Saphira adds some subtle depth and warmth to the cello. Most noticeable is when bowing up high; it thickens and smooths out the high strings without sacrificing the detail in the playing.”
