Revival
Revival borrows aspects of tubes, tape, transformers, and world class analog filters to pack two processes into one unit. ‘Shimmer’ adds depth, clarity, space, width, and air to your signal while ‘Thickness’ adds warmth, punch, body, and fatness. Revival can be used on individual tracks, such as to create air on a pop vocal or add fatness to drums, but is also amazing in mastering to bring out details in full mixes.
VU Meter
The VU Meter displays the RMS level of the signal at the output of the module, i.e., after the Mix.
The meter is calibrated to display 0 VU when being fed by a 1kHz sine wave with a peak level of -18dBFS by default. You can recalibrate this level by adjusting the screw below1.
Shimmer & Thickness
Shimmer affects the high-end of the signal. It can be used to add air, brightness and clarity without introducing harshness.
Thickness affects the low-end. It will fatten up just about anything!
