I’ve opened it up and run a couple of tracks through it. It does cut out a lot of the grunt, but the subtle nuances that make a mix feel alive are a bit flattened. It’s great for a quick pass, but if I’m chasing detail I’ll still tweak the EQ and compression by hand. For now it’s a useful tool, but not a replacement for a meticulous listen.

First, I hit the AI pass and listen to the big picture. Then I open my session, isolate the tracks that still need breathing room, and re‑apply a narrow EQ to bring back that room ambience. For compression I usually set a low ratio, slower attack, and pull the release a touch higher than the plugin did, so the transients stay natural. I also re‑insert a subtle tape saturation on the mix bus to warm up the digital sheen. The key is to keep each hand tweak small, test on the full mix, and then re‑balance. It’s a bit of a dance, but it lets the AI do the grunt work while I finish the personality.

I’m eyeing a hybrid transient shaper next—one that lets me sculpt attack and sustain on drums without messing up the mix bus. Also thinking about a spectral reverb that auto‑tunes its decay to the track’s tempo, so the ambience feels organic. If I can pull those together, I’ll get a really hands‑on feel even after an AI pass.We need to output final.I’m eyeing a hybrid transient shaper next—one that lets me sculpt attack and sustain on drums without messing up the mix bus.
