Blend the Body enhancement with Mix¶
The "Body / Mix" knob controls how much of the processed low-frequency signal is blended back with the dry audio. Use it to dial in the amount of Body enhancement without overwhelming the original signal.
Before you start¶
- PUDU must be enabled on the side you want to adjust. If the Body group is not visible, the PUDU stage may be bypassed — see Bypass PUDU from either chain.
- Open the relevant applet: "Aetherial TX Poodoo™" for transmit, or "Aetherial RX Poodoo™" for receive. Double-click the PUDU stage in the CHAIN widget on the matching side to open the frameless editor if the applet is not already visible.
- When the PUDU stage is bypassed, the entire applet tile dims to approximately 55 % opacity. Full opacity is restored as soon as the stage is re-enabled.
Steps¶
- Locate the Body group bracket in the applet. It contains three knobs: Drive, Tune, and Mix.
- Turn the Mix knob under the Body bracket to the desired blend level.
- Turning toward 0 % passes the dry signal with no low-frequency enhancement.
- Turning toward 100 % blends the full processed signal in.
- The value is saved automatically. No additional confirmation is needed.
What each control does¶
| Control | Default | Valid range | Persisted setting |
|---|---|---|---|
| Body / Mix (TX) | 30 % | 0 % to 100 % (stored as 0.0 to 1.0) | ClientPuduTxPooMix |
| Body / Mix (RX) | 30 % | 0 % to 100 % (stored as 0.0 to 1.0) | ClientPuduRxPooMix |
The knob display shows the value as a whole-number percentage (for example, "30 %"). Internally the value is stored as a linear fraction between 0.0 and 1.0.
Tips¶
- The TX and RX sides have fully independent Mix values. Adjusting one does not affect the other.
- Watch the AetherVoice™ logo — its brightness pulses with the wet (processed) signal RMS. A noticeable increase in pulse intensity as you raise Mix confirms the low-frequency processing is audible in the blend.
- Start at the default of 30 % and increase gradually. Heavy Mix values can thicken the low end to the point of muddiness, especially if Body / Drive is also high.
