Highly recommended. Not quite perfect (presets could be better, UI slightly dense), but sonically outstanding.
Runs smoothly even with 10+ instances. No fan noise or crashes during my tests (M1 / Logic Pro / Ableton).
I’ve spent the last few weeks putting this plugin through its paces on drums, bass, vocals, and full mixes. Here’s my honest take. Supernova is a multiband saturation plugin with a modern twist. Unlike old-school saturators that process the entire frequency range the same way, Supernova lets you target exactly where you want harmonics – low-end punch, midrange grit, or airy sizzle. ✅ The Good 1. Multiband Magic Three fully adjustable bands (Low / Mid / High) with solo and solo-safe options. Want to saturate just the kick drum’s attack without muddying the sub? Easy. Want to add harmonic sheen to only the top end of a vocal? Done.
Absolutely. 🧪 Quick Tip Try this: Drop Supernova on a drum bus. – Low band: “Tape” mode, 10-15% mix – Mid band: “Tube” mode, 20% drive – High band: “Air” mode, 5% mix Then use the output knob to match gain. Instant analog vibe. Have you tried Supernova yet? Let me know below. 🔥
Supernova offers multiple saturation algorithms – from gentle tube warmth to aggressive tape-style clipping. The “Clean” mode is surprisingly transparent for subtle leveling, while “Destroy” lives up to its name (in a musical way).
