There is a multi-band equalizer for manipulating individual frequencies and other audio characteristics.

The utility contains multiple virtual amplifiers designed according to real models. They include AC Box, Bass Pro, Citrus, Gratifier, Hot Plex, Tweedman, Ultrasonic, Rammfire, Twang Reverb, High White and other popular brands.

You can combine multiple input sources with the microphone track. Standard VST plugins for expanding basic capabilities of the program are supported.

Audio processing

There are instruments for adding filters and special effects to the sound. Moreover, users are able to attenuate or boost the output signal.
