If your audio tracks could talk, they might ask for the sweet chaos only HATE can provide. Dawesome, known for conjuring up mind-bending sonic tools, is at it again with their latest creation: HATE, a distortion plugin aiming to take your tracks from gentle grit to full-on meltdown.

There’s no shortage of distortion plugins in the world, but HATE promises a user-friendly interface that doesn’t baffle newcomers (or cause veterans to say some not-so-polite words). It’s built to produce everything from subtle harmonics to searing sonic destruction—so if your guitar lines need a bit of an anger issue, or your synth needs a rebellious streak, HATE might be worth a spin.

Under the hood, HATE juggles multiple distortion algorithms, blending them into a diverse palette of crunched-up tones. Whether you want to add some hair to a bass line or push your drums into industrial clang territory, you can dial in exactly the amount of mayhem you need—without the typical plugin side-eye.

As always with Dawesome/Tracktion, there’s a 90-day full trial—so you can really do some damage before the credit card even comes out.
Go make some HATE!
