Dial in your sound with Profile and Style. Profile tells the AI assistance what source it’s working with, genre-specific Full Mix: Electronic, Pop, R&B, Metal, Rock, Hip-Hop, Acoustic Country, and Funk, optimising processing for that signal type and genre. 

Beyond Full Mix, there are also Vocal, Guitar, and Drum bus profiles, giving you even more tailored options for different elements of your production. Unlike a preset with fixed parameters, a profile adapts intelligently to your input. Style shapes the character of the processing: Strong, Medium, or Soft.
