_10 Thing to have fun with
[On Bus Exciter-104]_Get the Pop Vocal
The exciter module brings a presence to the mids and highs of your sound. Using the “Vocal Presence” preset on your track gives you instant vocal production results, perfectly blending those vocals into the mix.
[On Bus Exciter-104]_Phat Bass
The big bass module provides a robust bass sound. I like to set it around 80Hz for the deep body, then add a little exciter to enhance the percussive nature and presence. A few tweaks and your bass will sound PHAT.
[On Bus Exciter-104]_Drum Bus
The Exciter-104 can yield excellent production results for drums. I typically tune the bass module around 50/80Hz to bring out the kick in the bus and use the exciter around 4kHz to bring the hi-hats to life, so simple but very effective.
[On Bus Peak]_Professional Polish
Add that final touch to give your track a professional, polished sound. Achieve a clean and refined finish that stands out.
[On Bus Peak]_Integrated Clipping and Limiting
Benefit from the combined clipper and limiter, allowing for seamless integration. The unified UI and combined gain reduction (GR) curves make it easy to balance the character of clipping and the presence of limiting.
[On Bus Peak]_Dynamic EQ
Utilize the contouring modules as a dynamic EQ for precise sound shaping, rebalancing, and creative processing. Perfect for detailed sound design and mixing adjustments.
[On Efx Motions]_Rhythmic Groove & Gates
Create various pumping effects and transform flat, repetitive rhythms into groovy sequences using the shapes and dynamics modules.
[On Efx Motions]_Build-ups & Transitions
Build up energy and release it at the drop! Add cool ways to transition between the different phases of your track. I like to use the sequence and riser presets for quick, instant results here.
[On Efx Refract]_Refraction
The Refraction section of the plugin duplicates your input into up to 8 stereo voices, depending on the “Voices” parameter. The “Amount” increasingly detunes and modulates each voice against one another to widen them. You can use this on its own to thicken and widen your input sound.
[On Efx Refract]_Mode FX
The plugin comes with five additional Mode FX (BandPass Filter/Comb Filter/Bitcrusher/Distortion/Harmonizer) which are added onto each Refracted voice and processed individually, before being summed back up at the output. This unique setup allows for new, wild, and creative results with only a few simple controls.
