How to build a degradation chain in HISE (Script FX) — need guidance

[13murderer]

Hi, I’m trying to process a modern clean signal in HISE so it sounds like it was produced around 1980. Preferably Script FX nodes.
Im trying to make:

1. Bit reduction + Dither (tried bitcrusher and sampleandhold, but i want sum more precise tuning, want to convert 24bit to 16 bit)
2. Downsample / Decimate
3. Frequency shaping (if there is better eq than this one filter eq in nodes)
4. Soft/tape-style compression, tape-style saturation (magnet tape effect)
5. Drop-outs, wah-wah.
   All those i will use to create sum "signal degrade" plugin, that simulates non quality signal recording, "lo-fi".
   Thanks for all answers and help

@13murderer start with the bitcrush node:

and the downsampler

@Lindon Hey, the default bitcrush allows to set 4-16 bits, but i need to set 20,24 bits. Is it possible somehow?

Are you sure the incoming signal is 24 bits? But in any case if you are degrading the signal further then it will be pretty impossible to tell the difference between 16 bit and 24 bit...
