What it does

Two-stage compression

Level evens out phrases slowly, then Front puts the vocal forward. Aggro turns Front hard and fast for screams.

Clean between lines

Gate lowers breaths and headphone bleed; De-ess catches only the loud s and t sounds.

A double, built in

Two slowly drifting voices left and right, for width without a second take.

Eight starting points

Default, Rock, Clean Pop, Scream, Male, Female, Rap and Backing.
