<p>Watching TRON for the first time, thanks Netflix for being so nice, I noticed that during the first stadium fight (thats as far as I am right now) there seems to be this nice bite of distortion. It seems like most of the sounds even the taiko drums in the music are given a little bit of distortion. This distortion sounds really sweet though, something like harmonically pleasing. Any way to recreate this effect in a DAW without using a nice overdriven tube amp?</p>

<p>There's a lot of great distortion plugins out there now. Seems like just about every company's got one. I've been partial to SoundToys Decapitator these days.</p>

<p>Check out the D16 plugs, decimort or devastor for distortion / bitcrushing? Or a crunchy comp plug like the Puigchild? Or, for saturation, one of the new tape emulations from Waves or UA? Your options are endless!</p>

<p>McDSP Analog Channel is a nice one for quickly winding in some heat.</p>
