StarStarStarStar

EQ (Equalization)

StarStarStarStar

Adjusts the balance of frequency components in an audio signal; commonly used to shape the tonal balance and remove problem frequencies.

StarStarStarStar

Compressor

StarStarStarStar

Reduces the dynamic range of an audio signal; used to control the level of peaks and increase the overall level without clipping.

StarStarStarStar

Limiter

StarStarStarStar

A specialized compressor with a high ratio, designed to prevent peaks from exceeding a certain level (threshold); ensures no clipping occurs in the final output.

StarStarStarStar

Reverb

StarStarStarStar

Simulates the natural reflections of sound in a space; adds depth and space to a mix, making elements feel like they are in an actual room or hall.

StarStarStarStar

Delay

StarStarStarStar

Delays the audio signal to create an echo effect; can be synchronized with the tempo of the track for rhythmic effects or used creatively for sound design.

StarStarStarStar

Chorus

StarStarStarStar

Duplicates the audio signal, delays it slightly, and modulates the delay time to create a thickening effect; useful for adding richness and movement.

StarStarStarStar

Flanger

StarStarStarStar

Creates a swirling effect by mixing a signal with a slightly delayed and modulated copy of itself; stronger and more pronounced than chorus.

StarStarStarStar

Phaser

StarStarStarStar

Modulates phase relationships to create a sweeping effect; more subtle than flanger and often used for adding movement to static sounds.

StarStarStarStar

Distortion

StarStarStarStar

Alters the harmonic structure of a signal, adding harmonics and creating a 'gritty' or 'driven' sound; used for guitars, vocals, and other instruments to add edge.

StarStarStarStar

Saturation

StarStarStarStar

A mild form of distortion, emulating the warmth and harmonic complexity added by analogue tape or tubes; often used on vocals, drums, and mixes to add perceived loudness and depth.

StarStarStarStar

Exciter

StarStarStarStar

Enhances high-frequency content by generating artificial harmonics; allows sounds to cut through the mix more effectively without increasing volume.

StarStarStarStar

Gate

StarStarStarStar

Reduces low-level noise by only allowing signals above a set threshold to pass through; commonly used on drums to reduce bleed between microphones.

StarStarStarStar

De-Esser

StarStarStarStar

A specialized compressor designed to reduce sibilance in vocals by attenuating high-frequency 'ess' sounds without affecting the overall signal level.

StarStarStarStar

Transient Designer

StarStarStarStar

Adjusts the attack and sustain characteristics of an audio signal; can make drums punchier or reduce the ring of a sound.

StarStarStarStar

Stereo Imaging

StarStarStarStar

Modifies the spatial properties of a sound within the stereo field; can widen a mix or correct phase issues between left and right channels.

StarStarStarStar

Convolution Reverb

StarStarStarStar

Simulates realistic acoustic spaces by using impulse responses; highly accurate recreation of real-world environments or hardware reverbs.

StarStarStarStar

Dynamic EQ

StarStarStarStar

Combines the features of an EQ and a compressor; applies equalization dynamically depending on the input signal's level, allowing frequency-specific compression.

StarStarStarStar

Pitch Correction/Auto-Tune

StarStarStarStar

Corrects the intonation of an audio signal in real-time, allowing for transparent correction or creative effects as made popular in various music genres.

StarStarStarStar

Multi-Band Compressor

StarStarStarStar

Divides the audio spectrum into separate bands and applies compression individually to each; provides finer control over dynamics across the frequency range.

StarStarStarStar

Harmonizer

StarStarStarStar

Generates harmonically related notes or voices based on the input signal; can be used to create complex harmonies or to fatten a sound.
