Make Everything Sound Huge

3-band control - 15 exciter flavors - brickwall limiting

Henchman is a multiband FX tool for making everything sound HUGE! With three bands to work with, the mid and high bands come loaded with fifteen different exciter, saturation, and distortion modes. Each band has mid/side processing and its own compressor, so you can shape width, tone, and punch exactly where you want it.

The low band is all about weight. Harmonic saturation to give your bass the richness and depth that survives tiny speakers, phone playback and sounds monstrous on club systems.

Then, all roads lead to our brick-wall limiter designed to push the whole signal as far as it'll go without wrecking your mix. It's the final word that makes things feel big without falling apart.

You also get visual feedback where it really matters. Henchman shows pre- and post-compression waveforms, so you can see exactly what you're hitting and properly dial in the compression instead of guessing.

Lastly to speed things up, there are five snapshots. Use them to A/B different settings, compare ideas, or even load entirely different presets into each slot. It's the best way to explore extremes without losing where you started.

Henchman excels on drums, bass, vocals, synths, buses, and mastering. Use it to add weight and punch to kicks and 808s, bring clarity and presence to vocals, glue your drum bus together, add warmth and saturation to synths, or push your masters louder while maintaining clarity.

So, are you ready to get Hench?
