Dirt

Dirt is a distortion and saturation VST plugin from Native Instruments, part of the Komplete Effects suite. It delivers aggressive digital and analog-modeled saturation, designed for drum processing, bass enhancement, synth distortion and creative sound design. Audio engineers and music producers use Dirt to add grit, warmth and character to individual tracks or across the mix bus. The plugin integrates into DAWs like Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Pro Tools and Cubase via VST, AU or AAX formats.</description> <parameter name="recommendation">Dirt is a Native Instruments VST plugin and is updated through Native Instruments' own update system, not through the host DAW or the Mac App Store. Native Instruments ships native Apple Silicon builds of Dirt and the wider Komplete Effects suite, so your plugin will run natively on M-series Macs when you update. Install or update Native Instruments plugins using Native Access, Native Instruments' plugin manager and license tool: launch Native Access, navigate to your installed products, and check for available updates. Native Access will automatically serve the native Apple Silicon version on supported Macs. If you don't yet have Native Access installed, download it from the Native Instruments website — it is the single update channel for all NI plugins. After updating Dirt to the latest version, you may need to restart your DAW and refresh its plugin cache before the updated plugin appears in your plugin list.
