🎛️ Overview
Obliterate by Newfangled Audio is a completely free, permanent, over‑the‑top distortion tool–not a polish, but designed to destroy your audio. Available for both macOS and Windows in AAX, AU, VST, and VST3 formats, including full Apple Silicon support.
Its mission? To make your mix raging, glitchy, noisy—and yes, angry.
🔙 Origins
Obliterate evolved from a simple filter plug‑in—but a programming bug crept in. Instead of fixing it, Newfangled Audio embraced the chaos. Over seven years, the bug morphed into a powerful resonant distortion engine—so wild that it’s no longer a mere filter, but its own beast.
⚙️ Features
- Two destruction algorithms: “TOO MUCH” and “TOO MOST” for escalating levels of sonic annihilation.
- Dual resonant multi‑mode filters: morphable between Low‑pass, High‑pass, Band‑pass, All‑pass, and Notch modes.
- Intuitive X/Y control: drag within the graphic pad to adjust resonances and cutoff frequencies for both filters at once.
- Dry/wet mix control: blend the raw destroyed signal with the original for a more controlled outcome.
🎯 Creative Use Cases
- Synth & electronic drums: turn clean 808s or drum loops into glitch-laden, aggressive textures.
- Bass destruction: convert basslines into distorted sonic monsters reminiscent of industrial or noise genres.
- Sound design for horror/experimental media: ideal for creating unsettling, chaotic atmospheres and textures.
💻 Compatibility & Installation
- Platforms: macOS 10.14+ (Intel and Apple Silicon native) and Windows 10+
- Formats: AAX, AU, VST, VST3 (64-bit)
- No activation or dongle required—just download, install, and start obliterating.

🎛️ Why It Stands Out
Obliterate is not meant to be subtle. This is a creative destruction tool, built to introduce glitch, chaos, and extremity wherever applied. With its two brutal algorithms and morphable filters, it encourages experimental sound design and sonic exploration. Best of all—it’s free, forever, with no restrictions.
