Overview

Low End Focus is designed to intelligently reduce muddiness, increase low end impact, and address other common low end issues that may not be easily improved with traditional tools such as EQ or Dynamics.

The module interface is comprised of three main sections:

Low End Focus Module

  • Module Header
  • Action Region Spectrum
  • Controls
  • The module header includes the following controls:

    LEF Module Header

  • Channel Processing Modes: Determines the channel processing mode used by Low End Focus.
    • Low End Focus supports Stereo and Mid/Side mode.
    • See the General Controls chapter for more information.
  • Reset: Returns all module controls to their default values.
  • Action Region Spectrum View

    Displays action region cutoff handles over a spectrum analyzer. Low End Focus allows for an action region range of 20 Hz to 300 Hz.

    LEF Action Region Spectrum

    • Action Region Cutoff Adjustments: Drag a handle to adjust a single cutoff value, click between the two handles to move them together, or single-click on the value readout and manually enter a cutoff value.
    • Solo: Isolates playback of the input signal (before processing) within the action region cutoffs.

    Controls

    Low End Focus includes the following controls:

    Modes

    Determines the response time of Low End Focus processing. These modes influence how processing is applied to sustained and transient content within the action region. You can choose between the following modes:

    • Punchy: Uses faster response times to emphasize transient content.
    • Smooth: Uses slower response times to enhance sustained content.

    Contrast

    Adjusts the spectral contrast between low and high level signals within the action region.

    • Positive values: Increases the difference between low and high level content. Attenuates ‘out-of-focus’ low level content, bringing out transients and leading to a punchier sound.
    • Negative values: Decreases the difference between low and high level content. Blurs the low end in a similar way to saturation. Transients will lose focus similar to the smoothing effect of some analog compression.

    Gain

    Sets the amount of makeup gain applied to the action region.

    Listen

    Enables isolated playback of the difference between the input (unprocessed) and output (processed) signals within the action region.
