About

One calm, precise front panel

Gravity Channel brings the everyday tools of a mixing chain together in one panel: input trim and polarity, a high-pass filter, a three-band EQ, a smooth compressor, a harmonic stage, and a clean output trim. It sits on any track and does the ordinary jobs well -- shape tone, control dynamics, add weight or air, set level -- without leaving the strip.

Left at its defaults it stays neutral and transparent, letting the source speak. Color is something you add deliberately, in measured amounts. The three-band EQ is voiced to be easy on the ear; the compressor is a natural, smooth VCA design with a fixed 2:1 ratio, soft knee, and RMS detection.

Free. No iLok, no activation. macOS and Windows.

Signal path

Input to output, in order

EQ and compressor placement is switchable -- EQ can sit pre- or post-compressor.

Input → Filter → EQ ↔ Comp → Bloom → Output
