Loudness and clarity — quite the opposite of stereo widening.
Whenever significant material is present, FOCUS automatically pulls the sound into focus. Try it on vocals, drums, buses, or a full mix.
This panel is live — grab a knob, flip A/B, toggle I/O Link.
FLAC quality, perfectly synced. Switch A/B while playing — the position never jumps, so your ears do the judging.
It suits a fast loudness boost and a detailed mix equally well.
A filtered signal derived from the mid channel serves as the sidechain input — you choose what FOCUS reacts to.
That sidechain drives a compressor acting on the side channel — the opposite of stereo widening.
Whenever significant material is present, the sound automatically pulls into focus: louder, clearer, centered.
One knob up front. Five modules behind it — open the advanced view when you want full control.
HPF / LPF over a live spectral display — shape exactly what the detector hears.
Classic or spectral mode with selectable FFT size, auto sensitivity and release, plus manual attack, release, ratio, knee and range.
Program-dependent drive with envelope release, metered in real time.
Adjustable curve with split mode and a live waveform scope.
Soft or brickwall mode with release control — the final safety stage.
