BOOST: The Whole Effect in One Control
BOOST is the hero control: one knob sets how much of the generated low-end effect sits on top of your original signal, from a barely-there reinforcement to a fully driven, room-shaking amount. It’s the control every other parameter below serves, which is why it sits largest, front and center.Place and Shape It: FREQUENCY, INTENSITY and Q-FACTOR
FREQUENCY sets the exact frequency the effect targets, tuned to the sub or low-end region of your source; a pitch-mode toggle lets you dial it in by musical note (E0-B2) instead of Hertz when that’s the faster way to match a key. INTENSITY sets how strongly the effect applies, from subtle to heavily processed. Q-FACTOR narrows or widens the focus around the set frequency: a high value keeps it tight and surgical for a kick drum’s fundamental, a low value spreads it broad enough to sit under a full mix bus.

Drive It: DRIVE
DRIVE adds harmonic saturation to the generated low end, moving it from clean sub reinforcement to a saturated, aggressive character on demand, and it’s what makes that low end audible on small playback systems in the first place. A dedicated stage doubles the drive amount for material that needs to go further than a single knob’s travel allows.

Control It: GATE and LOW CUT
GATE THR keeps the effect out of quiet passages, so it reacts only where the source actually calls for it instead of running underneath everything. The GATE’s ATTACK, RELEASE and RATIO give full control over the dynamic of the effect in regards to the input, from tight and percussive to a longer tail. LOW CUT filters the whole signal ahead of the DRY / WET blend, so everything below the set point is removed from the output however you balance dry and wet, including rumble that was already in your source. It keeps the very lowest, non-musical content out of your low end.

Mix Bus
Broaden Q-FACTOR for presence across a full mix bus rather than a single element.

Snares and Percussion
Put a body under a snare, clap or rimshot that otherwise lives only in the mids, tuned so it lands harder without turning boomy.

Impacts, Kicks, Basslines, Hits and Explosions
Sub weight exactly where a kick or bassline needs it, without losing punch. Give sound effects a fundamental that survives the mix, tuned to the moment.

Mechanicals and Gear
Latches, servos, reloads, weapon handling and machinery gain mass, so small mechanical detail reads as solid, heavy hardware.

Film, TV and Game Scores
Low end that holds up on dynamic material, scored to picture.

Vocal, Voice Over and Animal Recordings
Add weight and body without reaching for a synthetic sub layer.
