Want to add air? No problem. Want thumping bass? You got it. Or how about a smiley-face EQ? It’s right there. Just select the curve you want, Use the Target Factor function to determine how much of the curve to use, and you’re finished. You also get a Mix control for easy parallel processing and — one of our favorite effects here at Sweetwater — soft clipping for a big-studio, analog-colored sound.
