Bite Harder
Appetite for Destruction
Run-of-the-mill bit crushers provide little in the way of musicality, delivering static performances that leave audio epicureans hungry for more. Bite Harder offers instrument-like command over its sonic decimation, allowing producers to intricately blend the effect from delicate lo-fi crackle to all-out arcade annihilation and back again.

Say goodbye to broad-brush bit crushers and sink your teeth into unmatched control of your sound. Bite Harder takes everything you love about traditional sample reduction algorithms and employs our Push-Pull technology to put you in charge of how and where the effect’s parameters are applied across your track’s frequency spectrum.
Crisp up an instrument’s highs so they jump out of the mix while leaving its bottom end lush and creamy. Crunch an audio bus's bass register into pulverized pandemonium while retaining consistent, ethereal sparkle and air on top. Smooth out the results of Bite Harder’s individual bit and sample controls with the Silky dial and serve your listeners a flavor profile they won’t believe was cooked up using a single plugin.
Options for ring modulation, drive, loop, and stutter effects are also on the menu, putting unrivaled audio wreckage within easy reach.
Room for dessert? Bite Harder’s additional automation and sidechain controls give you the ability to organically or abruptly manipulate the plugin’s settings using an external audio source. How you choose to demolish your sound is determined only by what you can imagine.

- PUSH/PULL GRAPH (PEAK / LOW SHELF / HIGH SHELF): Shape your track dynamics the tonal way. Choose the band you want to use, choose the frequency, set the Q-factor and adjust the gain.
- SOLO (ON / OFF): Solo frequencies for auditioning where to boost or cut or for creative use.
- SC (ON / OFF): Turns on the sidechain input.
- SPLIT (ON / OFF): Splits the mono signal to make it stereo.
- RANDOM (TRIGGER): Selects a random Push/Pull graph arrangement.

- REDUCE (0% to 100%): Reduces the bitrate of the audio signal.
- SILKY (0% to 100%): Smoothens the effect of the resampler and the reducer.
- MIX (0% to 100%): The mix between the dry and the wet signal.
- IN (-48dB to 48dB): Adjusts the input volume.
