There are over 200 core presets that ship with EZmix. They are made up of the following effects:

Overloud: A tone enhancer processor which adds warmth and vibrance to the tone by a combination of compression, EQing and harmonic generation.

Parametric EQ: 5-band parametric equalizer for tone shaping of the signal.

LPF (Low pass filter): A low pass filter passes (allows through) low frequencies while attenuating high frequencies.

HPF (High pass filter): A high pass filter passes (allows through) high frequencies while attenuating low frequencies.

Compressor: A compressor is used to reduce the dynamic range of the audio signal, typically with a ratio of 2:1 to 9:1. A compressor ratio of 9:1 means 9dB goes into the compressor and results in 1dB out.

Limiter: Similar to a compressor but with a ratio of 10:1 or higher.

Bit Crusher: Reduces the bit resolution (ex. 16-bit to 8-bit) and simulates a lower sampling rate resulting in a distorted type sound.
7
Transient: Shapes the signal by exaggerating or attenuating the transient (attack) and the tail (sustain) of the signal.

Frequency Gate: Used to control the level of the audio by only passing signal above the threshold. It is also affected by a HPF or LPF.

Tape Simulator: Simulates the effects of a tape recorder including bias, tape speed, and wow and flutter.

Chorus: Simulates the effect of multiple identical instruments playing the same part (for example, 3 violins playing in unison). It results in a shimmering and thickening effect to the sounds.

Inverse Reverb: Produces a reverb sound that fades into the original sound as opposed to a traditional reverb that fades out.

Hall Reverb: Provides the sound of a ‘Hall’ type acoustical space.

Tape Delay: Produces an echo type effect. Typically a tape delay results in echoes that get increasingly more distorted with each echo.

Filter Delay: Produces an echo effect where the frequency of the echoes can be adjusted. This allows the echoes to react to different frequencies from the original signal.

Distortion: Produces the sound of the input of the audio being clipped which adds an ‘overdrive’ sound. This can add richness or fullness to the sound. In extreme settings distortion can sound ‘thin’ or ‘buzzy’.
