Add weight and harmonics without mud.

Saturation rounds off the peaks of a sound as it is driven harder. That adds harmonics, which can make a sound feel fuller, warmer or more present.

• Helping bass come through on small speakers
• Adding weight to thin sounds

Echoes that lock to the tempo of your session.

A delay stores audio and plays it back later. It can be a single slap, a rhythmic part of the track, or a sense of width and space.

• Rhythmic echoes that follow the tempo
• Adding space without a reverb wash
• Thickening a vocal or guitar

From small rooms to long washes.

Reverb recreates the many reflections a sound makes in a space. It places a sound somewhere, from a small room to something far larger than any real one.

• Putting dry recordings in the same space
• Pushing a sound further back in the mix
• Long, atmospheric tails

Shape the attack, release and level of a sound.

Dynamics tools control the difference between the loud and quiet parts of a sound. Compressors reduce that difference, and expanders increase it.

• Keeping a vocal at a steady level
• Adding punch to drums
• Lowering noise between phrases
