The mix parameter allows you to use the Orbit much the same as you would use parallel compression.

This usually means you want to use the slow (left) setting for low-frequency material like kick-drums and low synths, the medium(middle) setting for mid-frequency material like snare-drums and guitars, and the fast (right) setting for high frequency material like hi-hats, rim clicks and claps. The mode feature lets you adjust Orbit's algorithm to target slow, medium or fast transients. Orbit uses a combination of logarithmic style envelope followers, allowing you to boost the transients of percussive instruments like beats, drums and percussion as well as rhythmical guitar and synth parts. A word of caution… Always check your levels before diving the boost too hard, your ears, monitors and neighbours will thank you for it.

The boost parameter will increase the intensity of the effect and can deliver very subtle boosts, to extreme overdrive. The Orbit is a simple & lightweight tool that will help boost your transients and add bite to your mixes, and whilst the interface may be basic, don’t let that fool you, under the hood you’ll find the same DSP used in our Velo limiter, making the Orbit, a powerful little tool to add to your plugin arsenal.

Transients are the life force of modern music, and sometimes when your instruments just won’t pop in the mix after EQ and compression, then it’s time to reach for a transient designer.
