Studio mixing Tools:
Enhance your sound
Vocals
The mid-side stereo options let you create silky smooth vocal doubling effects that don't sound terrible when you convert them to mono!
Drums
The classic smiley-face EQ - boosted lows, delicate mids, and accented highs ensure that your drums lay the foundations and cut through the mix simultaneously.
Keys
Grand piano up close and personal. Subtle glue and proximity added to this grand piano track using gentle Single Mode
Guitars
By subtly focusing on the mids, this bluesy electric guitar stem becomes more clear while preserving its roomy ambience.
Synth
A large but subtle chorus giving space to the chords.
Mix & master
Very clean use of the Tube Culture here. The Bias meter is set to a very small value to only add subtle harmonics from the pentode.
Creative Production Tools:
Reshape your sound
Vocals
So you don't have a Fuzzybox. No to worry, you got a Dist OPAMP-21 ! Use it in parallel to add a fuzz effect to voices.
Drums
Input is a simple clean break beat. Motions turn it upside down and provoke a lot of synced variations.
Keys
Smooth piano sample gets transformed by flutter, noise and mechanical noise - stemming from the first preset "Lo-Fi Quiver"
Guitars
Just adding a bit of crunch to the dynamic peaks of the guitar track.
Synth
Make your synth slightly more agressive with the Triode mode. Add harshness to the high end with the presence switch.
Mix & master
Help your drums to sound more Lo-Fi with a tape machine effect.
