How exactly does Decapitator's Low Cut works?

Hi guys, noob here. I'm finding it hard to understand how does Soundtoys Decapitator low cut knob works. When researching before buying I did read (sorry, I don't remember where) that it doesn't really work like an EQ's HP, that is, cutting the selected low frequencies (let's say from 20hz to 100hz). Instead, it should work as some kind of soft filter where those selected low frequencies are untouched by the saturation process and go transparently to the output.

The official manual seems to support this: "Use the Low Cut control to remove low frequencies before they hit the (virtual) saturation circuit. This is useful to prevent any ‘flabbiness’ that can happen when distorting sounds with a lot of low frequency content."

However, when I use it this way, I end up losing low end (I checked in Span), so maybe I'm doing something wrong or misunderstanding the plugin.

I also did read somewhere that to use it this way, I've got to use the wet/dry knob, but I really don't know how it further affects the signal.

How can I let the low end pass untouched by the saturation process and keep it intact?

We reimagined Jan Hammer’s classic "Crockett's Theme" from the Miami Vice Tv show with a synthwave feel, what do you think?

Here’s my cover of SODOM’s classic 'Agent Orange’, a proud tribute to the thrash classic through the lens of Old School Death Metal, with influences of Hail of Bullets and Bolt Thrower. What do you think? 🚁🟠🔥

What if CLIFF BURTON’s legendary bass solo was played by an entire tech death metal band? I decided to record this very special tribute cover with Death, Cynic and Atheist influences. 🦷🎸

Do you guys like GRAND BLUE? As our favorite anime, my gf and I decided to record an 'acoustic beach party' version of the Shonan no Kaze classic opening with ukulele, guitar, and female vocals. 🤿🍻. What do you think?

Are there any actual pictures of the “huge dark low flying triangles”? (Serious)

I’ve read many times about people telling how gigantic flying black triangles hovered over them, silently or with a hum. However, I don’t think I’ve come across any photo of them. Sure, there’s the Belgian wave ones, and some similar boomerang shaped, but are there any famous or infamous “huge low flying triangles”?

Has anyone here tried AI Studio's Deep Research? Is it worth it?

I mostly use Gemini's Deep research for historical stuff (for work) or music mixing history (hobby). I've just discovered that there is a paid DR function in Ai Studio. How different is it from Gemini's? Are the results better? Maybe longer outputs?

Covering Santana is intimidating, but I wanted to reimagine "Europa" with a modern production. Tried to keep the Latin soul intact while making the mix as clean and upfront as possible.

Asking because someone told me that platforms as Reddit and FB will show the post to more people if the file is directly uploaded on the platform, while posting an outside link will be shown to less people. Is it true?

Normally I paste a youtube link of my song and that gives me a bit of a metric: I play extreme metal and I usually get 40-60 views of each song the weekend I'm posting it, but I recently uploaded a video to FB/Reddit and I really don't know how many people has llistened to it.

What's your preference on this?
