The TL64 Tube Leveler is a line driver/leveling processor for mixing and mastering tracks. It works through a set of advanced, analog vacuum-tube algorithms to add the unique qualities of tube color and warmth found in classic recordings. The TL-64 has intuitive controls that automatically determine the level and character of analog tube saturation, from subtle "warming" to hard-driving saturation. The TL-64 also features a selectable Dynamic Response Filter control and a Bass Compensation control.
In short, it controls the shapes of the sounds found in your tracks.
