Reduce sample precision and hold samples for a deliberately gritty digital texture.
The amplitude precision. Fewer bits produce stronger quantization grit. This is a sound effect, separate from WAV export bit depth.
The effective sample update rate. Lower values hold samples longer and intentionally add aliasing. The output file keeps its original sample rate.
How much crushed audio is blended with the original. Lower mixes retain more of the source detail.
Try the sample or upload a short recording. Apply the defaults, compare Original and Result, then adjust one parameter at a time. Revisions on this page start from your original recording.
This is a creative effect: aliasing and quantization are intentional. The export sample rate stays unchanged; this control changes the texture.
Compare a quiet passage and a busy passage at a comfortable listening volume. The player volume changes playback only; it does not change the downloaded audio.
Yes. Open the combination studio and choose this effect along with any others. Effects run in the displayed order, and completed stages are reused. Changing or removing an earlier effect rebuilds the affected stages.
Once processing finishes, compare the result and download MP3 or WAV. MP3 encoding runs locally and does not apply the effects again.
