Excite:
Multi-band saturation for color and excitement.

Sub:
EQ boost in the bass frequencies. Use the up and down arrows to select a note (usually the root key of your song) and the boost will be focused there.

Side cut:
A stereo effect that cuts the frequencies in the ‘side’ channel.

Width:
Stereo imaging to reduce or increase width.

Comp:
Compressor for taming dynamics.

DRUMS

Air:
EQ boost to the highest frequencies, often enhancing the transient.

Body:
EQ boost to the low-mid frequencies to increase body.

Details:
Parallel compression technique to bring out details.

Pressure:
Multi-band compression for fattening up dynamics.

Trans:
Multi-band transient designer for boosting transients.

Tape:
Two-stage tape saturation.

Width:
Stereo imaging to reduce or increase width.

Glue:
Compressor for adding glue.

KICK

Sub:
EQ boost in the bass frequencies. Use the up and down arrows to select a note (usually the root key of your song) and the boost will be focused there.

Mid:

Air:
EQ boost to the highest frequencies, often enhancing the transient.

Trans:
Multi-band transient design to enhance the attack

Tape:
