FALSE AUDIODOCS

The Link

One per track. It listens to the track and makes the changes you keep.

A Link goes on each track you want help with, as the last effect. It listens to the track, and it's where the changes happen. False Audio can only work on tracks that have one.

What's inside

Inside a LinkAudio goes through the Link in this order: your own plugins (up to four), EQ, compressor, transient shaper, saturation, stereo width and reverb.Your pluginsup to 4EQ8 bandsCompcompressorTransientpunchSaturationtape · tubeWidthstereoReverbroom to hall
Everything after your plugins starts switched off, so a new Link doesn't change your sound.

Everything a mix move usually needs, in one plugin:

  • EQ with 8 bands, including a de-esser-style band that only cuts when it gets loud
  • Compressor, including parallel compression
  • Transient shaper for more or less punch and tail
  • Saturation: tape, tube or clip
  • Stereo width, keeping the low end mono
  • Reverb, from a small room to a hall
  • Input and output level

You can also load your own plugins at the front. Use your own plugins

Name the track

The Link shows your DAW's track name. If it's blank or unhelpful, type a name in the label box, like "Lead vox". You can also pick what's on the track from the Instrument menu (kick, lead vocal, synth pad and so on). Both help False Audio change the right track.

Is it connected?

The header should say Controlled by False Audio Hub. If it says No Hub found, add the Hub to your master track.

Tweak it yourself

Turn any knob you like. Anything you change becomes yours: it turns blue, and False Audio won't touch it. More

The Link's settings save with your project, and you can automate them like any other plugin.
