Spectre

Saturation
Wavesfactory

Spectre is a multi-band enhancer that combines a graphical parametric EQ with harmonic saturation to introduce color and life to recordings. Unlike conventional EQs that cut or boost volume, Spectre processes the difference between the dry signal and EQ-adjusted signal through one of 10 saturation algorithms based on classic analog hardware, generating new harmonic content. With five parallel boost-only bands (low-shelf, three peaks, high-shelf), adjustable Q per band, and support for stereo, mid/side, and individual channel processing, it delivers natural enhancement suitable for individual tracks, submixes, and mastering.
