Sound
As other tools from Audio Damage Grind is all about mangling audio, it is the crusher king.

To describe Grind I could reference the manual and talk in technical terms about the used wavetable combined with algorithmic saturation/distortion and some other technical processing. If you are not really interested in those technical descriptions let me share with you that you get results that are from this plug-in which have that warm vibe or Gring just destroyed the track in a most useable musical way.
Grind comes with a limited number of presets, as normal with Audio Damage products. The company encourages you to try a new way to destroy your sound instead of browsing through presets that sounds fitting to your track.

Grind is a lovely, pleasing and nasty processor for destroying audio, be it a track (single instrument) or the mix bus. It is your Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Grind is fantastic either for subtle tube-style saturation or alternative to mangled your sounds in a nasty way. Great for single tracks or sound design.
