Diamond Dynamic Saturator’s best use is for drum and stereo bus processing and is inspired by working on Drake’s “Massive” and Diplo and Miguel’s “Don’t Forget My Love”.
In Luca Pretolesi'’s words:
"Dynamic Saturator was the last piece of the puzzle in the Diamond series of plugins. We've done EQ, we did compression limiting and the next step was saturation."
"Dynamic Saturator was heavily inspired by working on Drake's album "Honestly Nevermind". Working on the album we used a lot of analog saturation on the drum bus and the stereo bus using hardware and custom gear and from there, we created the plugin version."
