Quickly Focus on the Energy and Emotion of Your Tracks

From Subtle to Bombastic
Each of the 4 controls affects multiple parameters, so you can dial in the exact amount of enhancement to create specific emotions—Sub for power, Air for sweetness, Thick for body, and Bite for intensity.
Rule the Low End with Sub
Sub generates low-frequency harmonics that weren’t in the original track, so unlike EQ, it can’t muddy the sound. Sub is ideal to create deeper bass lines, fuller kicks, or even to add low-frequency power to acoustic pianos.
Add Sweet Atmosphere with Air
Air synthesizes pure high-frequency harmonics, for a bright sound quality that’s never harsh. Sprinkle “fairy dust” on masters, add sheen to background vocals, enhance presence with orchestral sections, and more.
Bite with Intensity
Bite creates extra snap and energy that gives note attacks a new and exciting presence. Use low settings for added intensity, or high settings for a more aggressive sound with drums, acoustic guitars, vocals, and keyboards.
Go BIG with Thick
Think big, by using midrange processing to add fullness and body. Add a touch of fatness, or go full-out for an upfront midrange character that moves your guitars, vocals, organs, snares, toms, and other instruments forward.
Focus on the Feel of Your Track
“I’ve made this plugin so you can focus on how you want your tracks to feel, without having to figure out which traditional tools will get you there. This plugin will help you quickly shape not just tone, but also feel and attitude.”—Andrew Scheps
