Now onto this amazing new plugin from Waves! The Waves Berzerk Distortion plugin is a truly over-the-top distortion and saturation plugin. It is one of the best randomizing, wrongifying plugins out there at the moment! Randomizing has been a bit of a theme over the past few weeks, and this is another one of those plugins that will make average sounds into something far more interesting.
Plus, for today only, you can get the Waves Berzerk Distortion plugin for FREE! Click here to download it!
This offer is only for Black Friday though, so hurry!!
According to the description on the Waves website, their engineers “began by collecting a large array of well-loved distortion units of all types: amps, tube devcies, stomp boxes, and old analog units. They then developed original custom wave shapes based on their all-time favorite distortion curves.”
The Waves Berzerk Distortion plugin has 10 different presets: Buzzed, Frenzy, Crushed, Trippy, Squashed, Loony, Dizzy, Freaky, Clipped, and Fuzzed. Each of these presets has its own personality, which will transform the sound by adding different grit, character, dirt, and other elements “that will blow your head off.” I already know that these presets are going to make my life so much easier!
As more people move towards doing more and more in-the-box - and not just mixing, but using virtual instruments as well - plugins like these are great tools to have! When virtual instruments first came into existence, everyone loved that all of a sudden they could get the absolute best sounding guitar or piano right on their computer. But as virtual instruments became more and more common, all of a sudden everyone had the best sounding instruments, so people began looking for ways to make these virtual instruments sound more exciting and unique! The Waves Berzerk Distortion plugin is the perfect plugin for that!
Along with all of the presets, the Berzerk plugin has a “Go Berzerk!” button that I know everyone will have fun using! This button creates random variations in each waveshape, which lets you personalize the signal. and then you can turn the Density knob to shift the waveshape in amplitude.

Leave your FAQ Friday questions below!
How do you deal with the following situation:
You're a mixing engineer or producer and your client wants e.g. a special sound esthetic or melody which is unusual. For example a melody that is very dissonant with the harmonies or tons of reverb that doesn't fit the song/vibe. As a mixing engineer or producer for a client, your task is to enhance or fullfill the artists vision. Of course. But what is if that vision is so absurd or unmusical and your client doesn't want to give that idea up (even if you explain it in the nicest way possible)?
Do you then ask the client that your name as producer/mixing engineer won't appear in the credits because it could let externals think that your mix/production is not good or professional? Do you/Can you back off from the project (when you have already committed to the artist to work with him) ?
@@IssaMuzik my experience in these situations is IF it's really that bad then they will hear it, and more than likely;y people around them will also tell them that! It's best to let them know you don't agree, however do it and then encourage them to play it to others
What is your thoughts and opinion on Waves products?? How do they compare to other software products for musical production? Happy Thanksgiving and love the channel..thanks for all you do
peach head marvellous question! As you can probably see there are a huge amount of Professionals that use Waves! The main thing we love about them is that you can use a huge amount of instances of them and they don’t have a ‘sound’ that hollow harsh high end that we associate with some brands.
I have a question about white noise, is a pretty common FX in dance music. Should it side or mono？ thanks！
The website crashed after all the traffic.😂 It was fun being a part of the creative process. Can't wait to test it on my guitar!
Wow! Yes, I saw A LOT of people talking about it online!
Best "First Look!" ever. Your enthusiasm is wonderful.
Thanks ever so much Michael!
I was hesitating, but after your demo, downloaded. Can't wait to hear it live. THanks Warren, thanks Waves.
Thanks ever so much David!
Your joy in discovering the features of this new Waves plugin makes me glad I got it last night. Excited to try it (on headphones) once my little boy is taking a nap this afternoon. 😊
That's amazing to hear! Let me know how you get on while your little man naps!
@@Producelikeapro I am using Reaper on a rather powerful laptop and Berzerk seems to be causing massive stuttering. I will have to try it with my Focusrite Scarlett and see if that helps.
@@paskeyland maybe it's a Reaper/Waves compatibility issue? I've been fine with my Lap Top and old Mac Tower. Let me know how you get on!
ha ha ha you made my day Warren! So nice to watch your enthusiasm !! It's contagious. I got it and I'm gonna try it soon! Happy mixing to all!
Chris Mataran thanks ever so much my friend!! You Rock!!
Excellent Q&A.
Got my Berzerk yesterday and put it slightly on vocals, the cut through was amazing. Be sure to mix with the HQ mode enabled, it really makes a difference.
I would also recommend to step through the presets, because even it seems "small" it's incredible versatile.
I'm curious to try the external feedback tuning (switch to the right).
i am not the biggest Waves fan but the last couple of years with this kind of free offerings i am thankfull as some are really good. I think they should throw out older stuff and make some new ones. Then introduce more accesible Prices and not 350 gazillion dollars but only today 30!! I think with an average 100 dollars price you can attract more buyers. Nice video Warren. As always in your graceful sincere way of presenting.
Saar Dean thanks ever so much for your great comment! I agree, these kinds of plugins are truly wonderful and show forward thinking!
I just downloaded this and then I see you've done a review on it!!! Thank you Mr. Marvelous!!! Hope you had an amazing Turkey day!! Happy holidays from my family, to yours!!!
Fantastic! Yes, I'm very impressed!
This plugin is free!?!seriously this is such a delight.. I'm gonna be stuck in the mixing room for years now!!(lmfbao)!! Thank you thank you for making this in depth review... so many possibilities!!!!! Thanks waves for giving this away!!!!!
@@strikebackstudios7592 yes! FREE! Haha
@@Producelikeapro i feel like theyre losing money at this point!! LOL
@@strikebackstudios7592 Haha it is what it is!! Hats off to them!!
Thank you for your channel. I always did rudimentary analog recording and you've helped my transition into reaper. So much to learn and this channel has been one of my go tos. Thanks again Warren! Keep doing your thing brother!
Hi Styrofoam Ghost thanks ever so much! I am so glad to be able help!! You Rock!
WOW!! What an amazing plug in!!
Yes! I'm really impressed!
Got it! Can't wait to try it.
That's great to hear Ron!!
Got my copy of Bezerk.. can’t wait to start using it. Feels like the first time I touched an LFO filter knob on a Moog. Amazing weirdness! Thanks as always.. exciting stuff!!
That's fantastic Paul! Let us know how you get on my friend!
Thanks Warren! This looks to be like a super fun plugin and I already hear some cool elements that I'm looking forward to trying on some drum samples. Hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Sam and I are very thankful to be a part of your community and are grateful to be learning so much from you and the Produce Like a Pro Academy. Much love from the PNW!
A CommonTime Production wow!! Thanks ever so much my friend! I really appreciate it! We are so glad to have you be part of our community!!
What it did to the drums was spectacular !!
Agreed 100%!!
This was just awesome! I learned so much. So glad I grabbed it a few weeks ago (2022) for free . Time to start using it!
I immediately thought ‘wrongifier’ when I received the Waves email! Haha Can’t wait to try it. Thanks, Warren! 🙂
Haha agreed Daniel!
This plugin is just crazy good for any tracks .
Yes!! Wrongify and Randomize!!
Got my copy and immediately applied it on synths and wow!
That's amazing to hear!!
That plugin is so wild!! Love it!
Yes! Love it!!
Just love to see your reaction trying this. Like a kid at a sweetshop. Love it
Hi Robbie Michaels haha thanks ever so much!
Wow, you’ve just made me want a plug-in I’d never normally give a second thought! 👍
That's great to hear! I'm sure you'll love it! Excellent for randomising generic sounds!!
And it was free...Enjoy..
Ever since Camel Audio disappeared, I've been looking for "mad music mangling" plugins and, except for what you can find (with some work) in Reaktor, that whole approach to DSP has left the premises pretty much. So this crazy thing from Waves is a very welcome blast of fresh air along those lines.
Nice to see you having so much fun with that plugin.
It does look fun !!
Woohaa, just briefly tried Berzerk. The mid side mode is amazing for not-so subtly stereo widening and injecting life into drum drums. Great and unexpected stuff from Waves
That's amazing to hear! Thanks ever so much for sharing!
@@Producelikeapro Your video inspired me to try it out that very night. I had registered to get it a few days ago but thought it's "just another free plugin". Then I say your vid and had to try it immediately. So thank you!
Those Berzerked drums are awesomeeeeeee
Yes! I love them!!
I enjoyed seeing how much fun you were having as much as I enjoyed the vid!
Thanks ever so much! Yes, it's fantastic!!
Great plug in showcase! I think it does them huge justice!
I agree! Marvellous plug in!
@@Producelikeapro Ahhhh absolutely my man!
@@RC32Smiths01 did you use it?
@@Producelikeapro I have not, I don't have much money in budget or time to utilize such equipment atm. It sure sounds fantastic of course!
Hey Warren! Do you prefer the Waves RVox or the Waves CLA-76 plugin as a vocal compressor? Thank you and have a great day! - John
Hi John Gibson Music definitely the RVox! I love that plug in!!
@@Producelikeapro Thank you Warren!
Hi John Gibson Music you’re very welcome!
Looks like fun... will definitely get it even though it's not free anymore, useful for giving elements a lift when needed.
A very nice stereo imager plugin is called Wider and its free (folds very nicely into mono etc).
Hi Thiago Pinheiro thanks ever so much for sharing!
I love distortion plugins. I can hardly wait to try this..
It's about time Waves (or any company) puts out a decent distortion plugin!
Excited like a child on christmas!
Hi Eric Anderson haha yes, indeed!!
@@Producelikeapro I have downloaded a copy and it truly is exciting!
Hi Eric Anderson absolutely wonderful!! That’s great to hear!
When you use squash it is almost like a house sound yet in a Ballad. Great!!
Fantastic!! Thanks for the great comment!
I love how waves are putting out distortion plug-ins
We need saturation for mixing
vhollund they put out both! Did you check out the Waves Abbey Road Saturation? It’s amazing!
Hey Warren. Thanks for taking the time and answer our questions with your professional experience!
My Question: When I mix my recorded drum tracks, it somehow sounds different in the DAW than when I play it later as a converted wave data on my computer media player.
The actual "room brightness" is missing in my ear.
I've been struggling to find a better ac guitar strumming VSTi plugin and, when I watched you destroy/wrongify your real ac guitar, I decided to try my Berzerk... Thanks, it's great ... unless I need a REAL ac guitar rhythm track??? But that's for a different topic.
Another great, simple video, Warren. Thank you.
John Howarth MUSIC haha fantastic! Yes, huge fan of this!!
This is a good plugin. Been trying it out on guitars . Nice big thanks to waves.
Hope you had a good holiday sir, cheers and thanks as always
Thanks ever so much Dan! Happy Thanksgiving to you!
Got to play with it all week end!!
Marvellous!!
Have not got the mail jet, dough. Is it onky for Americans?
Thank you Warren, awesome plugin! As a guitar player as well I'm indeed also jealous of weird sounds... I don't know how to make'm... now we know how to go berzerk ;)
this was a lot of fun to watch. genuine enthusiazm. Nice
You're very welcome my friend!!
Great plugins. Bless you man!
Thanks ever so much George!
@@Producelikeapro It is my pleasure Warren, by the way, I will be launching my first album in our church, special thanks to you man for your great tutorials and videos that widens my knowledge on recordings, mixing and mastering though there is so much to learn I was able to accomplish it because of your impartations. God bless you. With your permission, I would like to put your TH-cam channel in my special thanks sections in the CD, if this would be okay to you. Thanks!
Thank you for all ten good advices!
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. Great FAQ Friday, thank you Warren. I love it when you play with plugins and get really into it. The Berzerk sounds so wrong in the right way. Nomen est omen ;-) Awesome plugin . Have to have it!
This will sound super on psytrance leads! Does not just add coloration, but modulation too. Love it and wanna try too :)
Namaste
Yeah, a plugin like this can take you to what BJ Burton did for Low's Double Negative album. Plus it is not Decapitator which almost everyone uses
Or if you want to do something like Rafael Anton Irisarri did on his EP 'Will Her Heart Burn Anymore'
I requested the download link on Black Friday, and I still haven't seen it in my inbox, and now I'm chomping at the bit even MORE! 😬😝 lol/smh
Liked and appreciated the thoughts on Mono/Stereo, too, btw! Thanks always!
I'm still waiting for mine.
Let us know when you get it! I hear they were extremely oversubscribed!
Same here Emailed them twice
Came last night. Nice plugin.
Got mine now 👍
@@Producelikeapro Yeah, I wasn't complaining. It is after all free. I was just wondering where it was. Good company - Waves.
looks like a fun plugin as long as you can easily map it to an real machine of buttons and knobs. I wonder why these awsome inventions are demoed on computer screens. They deserve better
Great vid as always. Now in 4K! Nice :-)
Yes! Thanks ever so much my friend!
Downloaded it! Super cool! and freeeeee!
Haha yes!!
Been getting emails about this Berserker plug-in all weekend.
Was on the fence as to whether or not to even download it, obviously I will be now. Thank you for the demo.
Also one more thing... I want to buy one from them along with this free plugin, can you recommend a Waves plugin that you use alot?
maysin81 marvellous question! My favourite Waves plug-ins are MV2 and RBass and I can’t live without them!
@@Producelikeapro Grabbed em both and they let me pick out another free one. Thank you again sir.
I got the email from waves so already got it, nice to have a demo
That's great to hear!!
Snagged Berserk today, but haven't tried it out yet. (My laptop, my "portable" interface, and I are up at mom & dad's in the Mid-Hudson Valley right now, and the speakers I have to work with here have a pretty limited frequency range. Plus, I've been busy doing my online Black Friday shopping.) However, I have seen four YT reviews of this plugin today, yours included. Even Wytse seemed impressed by it, and he's a tough one to please when it comes to plugins. This is definitely a plugin I'd use but in moderation. Looks like that mix knob will come in handy. A little saturation and distortion go a long way in my book.
LOL yes, surprised to see Wytse like it!
@@timbrown7652 He still didn't like the GUI, though. He likes his plugins to have a plain Jane look.
It's like instant NIN drums! Always wanted to know how to get that sound.
ME TOO! Amazing!!
Hi Warren! Thank you so much for all your videos and info! I have a question, not related to this episode though (please excuse). I love the theme song of your channel. Can I find the whole track somewhere? Its amazing! Thanks again and Happy festive season!
That first question ... rings to me its more an arrangement issue and not mixing .
Haha indeed!
hey! I saw your video and your a funny guy hahaha. Im the opposite of you - one of those who play with their eurorack so i am pretty used to get weird, distorted, bleep bloop sounds but i also enjoy using "normal" plugins and i also play the guitar a little bit (just a little). I actually baught this plugin because it wasnt free anymore but i got it for less then 10 bucks so its almost free - and i LOVE it! For drums in particular i love to use the "in" in feedback and using the highpass filter can create some really really interesting sounds with drum loops. This plugin is just insane and i love it hahaha greetings :)
Happy thanksgiving, buddy.
Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
Warren, I'm really sensitive to phase widening as well (it makes me feel like my ears have water in them or something disorienting)... I recommend checking out Panpot by Goodhertz. You can pan through delay or spectral or traditional level or phase, or any combination of the above. I think when a person pans through each of the methods and compares phase, it becomes really clear how panning (or using for stereo widening) by phase feels the worst out of all the options. Also by them is the Vulf Compressor which is the most amazing on a drum bus to make it have that 90s "drum loop" feel even on live drums. Someone from Goodhertz should get you some licenses for your use and to give away to your community. They need more publicity (and have a good Black Friday sale running now)
I’m going to love this on Lofi With waves Tonecentric
I signed up multiple times for it, once in advance. Did not receive it. Waves lost my money this Black Friday as a result.
Even better than the plugin is watching your face and reaction, Warren! 😅 Almost like a "... reacts to ..." video, haha. Thanks a lot!
BTW, got it. 😎 Great plugin!
Lovin the sound
Thanks ever so much!
I can see that song taking off here in Montreal. They sound like several bands up here. Do they have an album we can check out?
Hi Rich Jones fantastic! The artist is Alexx Calise, you can find her on Spotify!
17:50 That FEEDBACK thing could probably be used to simulate feedback distortion on a guitar.
signed up for the plugin already! waiting for the email. also that's an amazing song! would love to have the multitracks. i know i need to join the academy, which i will, next year. can't wait!
Wonderful! We look forward to having you in there!!
Greetings from Peru, Warren. I have question for FAQ Friday I'd like to pick your mind about. You said you record for labels and clients at the highest sample rate you can for future proofing and the request of said clients. Let's say you record drums at 48 kbps because of the limitations of your multichannel audio interface, but you have the chance to record vocals and the rest of mono or stereo stuff with another interface at 96 kbps. Is it worth the upscale of your drums or is it better to keep everything at 48 kbps for consistency? Thank you.
Hi Warren, thanks for the video, you should have a look at some of the electro harmonix pedals, synth 9, key9 etc as a guitar player they add some amazing sounds and textures.
Interesting, although my current lack of skill and knowledge tends to make my mixes go a little berserk without any help needed, lol! I also just read about a plug in called "Bad Tape" which seems like a tape emulation gone berserk that could also be interesting.
On the subject of Randomness and wrongness, I'd love to hear your "FIRST LOOK" at XLN: RC-20 Retro Colour
Thanks ever so much Will! I will have to check that out!
I GOT IT & I LOVE IT..!!! :-)
Fantastic!! Glad you enjoyed it!!
TY
NF Music Designer thaks ever so much!
Excellent!
Still waiting for my email from Waves for my free Bezerk plug-in, I guess they have been overwhelmed as I clicked the link this morning! Sounds interesting I can't wait to test it out myself.
Yeah, I filled out the form on the Waves site very early this morning (EST) and didn't get emailed the activation code until late this afternoon. Everybody and their mother must have signed up for this freebie.
Did you get it ok Philly Tee?
@@adamfox9651 yes, I didn't;t realise that a 100 other channels were going to review it! Haha I should have put the video up earlier!
@@Producelikeapro You mean there are 96 other videos on this plugin I haven't seen yet? Dang! 😁
"Free" is the magic word. Still, Waves did their Sibilance giveaway this time last year, and there wasn't nearly the kind of buzz there's been for Berzerk. I guess de-essing isn't as sexy as saturation and distortion are.
Hi Mr Huart, Are live Studio Recorded Classical Instruments for Orchestras harder to filter individually/collectively from Input to Output with certain Gate/Limiter/compressors and Plugins etc. than pre-recorded or Digital Instruments/samples, herein, without loss of 'Liveliness' of performance(s)? Is it a generic problem providing a clear audio spectrum of these Instruments collectively/individually for the end listener, pre & post production Studiowise? What are the impacts here to overcome, and are there any simple remedies for loss(es)/gains of percussion signals and frequencies through this, if any, that do not override one Instrument over the other? Is this just basic production/mixing/mastering knowhow? Cheers for the video bud :-)
buzzed is good
Fantastic!! Yes, it is!!
Using it already. its fucking amazing.. Wish there was a eurorack module of it
Haha wonderful!
Oh, my!! The goosebumps!! Great plugin!
Yes! Wrongify!! Haha
Even the snakeoil kid liked this plugin lol Winner from waves all around. Get it free for a few more hours!
Brad Szyperski yes! I saw that! Great stuff!!
Ahh man I applied for my free Berzerk vst and they said I'd missed the cut off time. i checked the clock and they were right I had..by 42 seconds! That's just a bit mean.
Real shame too because I loved what it was doing to that rather vanilla synth line especially the strange high frequency artefacts that were being imparted and slowly....drifting...off....into...the ...etherrrrrrr.. ;-)
Wow! Sorry to hear that! It has been downloaded a bazillion times from what I can see!
@@patkelly3966 agreed, it really made that synth line come to life!!
If you record at over 44.1Hz, this then records higher frequencies...On eq plugins, the higher Hz are not shown on there, What happens to them? Are they left in? taken out?
Crap! My DAW Harrison Mixbus32C in Windows doesn't support that plugin...:(
Hi Richard Aling I don’t know that! So they don’t support every plug in or plug in company? I know they have a lot of their own great plug ins, so maybe that’s the reason why?
Nice plugin! But still waitig for email, two days...
Hi Petr, did you get the plug in yet? Did it get released early for you? It came out yesterday for us. See your comment from 9 hours ago and it says you've been waiting 2 days.
21:31 That dreaded fake distortion guitar sound
It is free again for limited time!
It’s a bummer it doesn’t work with El Capitan lol, I haven’t upgraded my os because 99.9% of my plugins and software are working great!
C'est la vie! I use versions of OS on my computer so I can run two different versions of my DAW for this very reason!
That's why I stopped buying Waves plugins. I simply refuse to upgrade my perfectly fine running system every year and many developers make great software that still runs even on Mavericks. But it's mostly Apple's fault trying to please the consumer market with a shiny new OS every 12 month. Berzerk really sounds nice, but I'm sure I can live without it for now.
@@TheSlickoify I still run all my Waves Plug Ins on my old OS and Aldo the new OS. All of the great new plug ins that manufacturers are coming out with (at least the last 20 or 30 latest ones I've tried) seem to only run on the latest and greatest! I'm fortuunate that I have Waves running on the latest AND a 6 year old plus OS!
I use El Capitan and Mavericks. Call me crazy, but I love to work with Logic 9. Bought many plugins from Plugin-Alliance and they still support 10.9. Sticking to an older system also prevents me from buying to much stuff I barely have the time to use and learn. :D
Waves 11 doesn't support El Capitan unfortunately. Didn't find out till attempting to install Berserk.
Warren : "Yahhh, this is Amazing, listen to how it's a whole new sound in 2 clicks"...
Also Warren: Wrong-a-fying Mix Bus...
Bahahaha! 😆
Haha thanks ever so much!!
💕
Thanks ever so much!!
😊
Audrey Sims thanks!
Just when you think everything has been done then THIS 😬😬😬😬😬😱 how crazy and berzerk 😊💯🥊👌🏾
Haha indeed my friend!
Your face expressions are one in a million Warren painful joyful and a combo of confusion 😱🤫😂
Haha thanks ever so much Jamal!!
Only a small amount of people will get this plugin once you sign up. Not everyone gets a return email from Waves but now they have your email information . Waves is shady
👍🏼
Thanks Ryan!
Produce Like A Pro Thank you Warren , and everyone at PLAP✊🏻
What ??? Berzerk is not for free anymore. It coast 50$ !!!
Future FAQ Friday Question: silky top end: what techniques across the mix and individual instruments can we employ to create less digital harshness?
Marvellous question! Firstly judicious high mid boosting! May times I get mixes to work on that have had so much high mid eq applied that it sounds really harsh! Obviously Tape emulations can really help and also of course good old fashioned low passing unwanted build up of high end!
Produce Like A Pro great that you answer questions Warren, you’re really spot on. I was listening specifically to the drum sounds on Greta Van Vleets song When the curtain falls. It’s the silkiness in the hihats. When I record drums I get too much hihat leakage and harshness. Anyway! Thanks.
Unboring. Alt: De-Bore-ify. The act of deborification.
Haha yes, indeed Loren!!
