03

Compress

Control Glue Compressor threshold and makeup gain together. Watch your output level.

04

Saturate

05

Mid/Side Balance

Balance mono and stereo information using Utility. A mono source can go silent at the fully-side position.

06

Mids Color

Shape isolated mid frequencies with different EQ curves.

07

Delay

Blend a parallel Echo preset.

08

Working with mono sources

If a source has no side information, turning Mid/Side Balance fully toward the sides can silence it. Add a stereo delay or reverb before the rack if you want to create stereo information first.
