Slip

Spotmove
Used in video production allowing you to spot or move clips to the exact moment of choice
Lower Hardware buffer sizes allow..
For less latency or delays during recording process
Equalizer
A device used to change specific frequencies of a sound by increasing or decreasing them in volume. One of the most commonly used effects.
What is a De-esser?
Device for reducing the effect of sibilance or excessive “esses” in vocal signals.
What is a limiter?
A compressor with a hard filter at a set level. Should be avoided if possible, but can prevent
distortion in very loud sounds. Any compression over 20:1 is considered a limiter.
Reverb
An effect used to alter music so that it sounds as if it was recorded in a reverberant space. Used on almost all modern recordings since they are recorded in very dry spaces.
High Pass Filter (HPF)
an electronic filter that passes signals with a frequency higher than a certain cutoff frequency and attenuates signals with frequencies lower than the cutoff frequency.
Low Pass Filter (LPF)
A low-pass filter is a filter that passes signals with a frequency lower than a selected cutoff frequency and attenuates signals with frequencies higher than the cutoff frequency.
