Flexible Signal Flow & Side-Chain Options

Adjustable side-chain EQ lets you target exactly where and how the dynamics processor reacts, allowing techniques like de-essing without affecting the entire signal, or kick-drum-triggered bass compression for rhythmic interplay.

This flexibility opens up advanced mix strategies that go far beyond standard dynamics processing.
