Processing

The most essential dynamics tool in audio — what it does, how it works, and when to use it.

Frequency-conscious compressor designed to tame harsh sibilance on vocals.

Time-based effect that creates depth, rhythm, and space — the most-used effect after EQ and compression.

The most-used processor in audio — shaping tone by boosting and cutting frequencies.

Dynamic processors that reduce signal below a threshold — the opposite of a compressor.

The final dynamics stage — how limiters work, when to use them, and how loud is too loud.

Compressors that split the signal into frequency bands and process each independently.

How reverb works, the different types, and how to use it without drowning your mix.

Adding harmonic distortion deliberately — the most musical processor in audio.

Tools for widening, narrowing, and shaping the stereo field of a mix or master.
