Quick Start

​
1. Load CHAKRABOOST

Insert CHAKRABOOST as an audio effect on any track in your DAW. Send audio through it — drums, synths, vocals, full mixes. It’s a creative effect, so experiment freely.

​
2. All 8 Bands Are Active

Out of the box, all 8 frequency bands are active with default settings: You should hear subtle phase modulation across the full spectrum immediately.

​
3. Shape the Phaser

Adjust the phaser on individual bands to hear targeted phase movement: Try increasing Depth and Feedback on Band 4 (250–500 Hz) and Band 5 (500–1000 Hz) for pronounced midrange phasing while leaving the sub-bass and air bands subtle.

​
4. Enable Compression

Each band has its own adaptive parallel compressor. Adjust the Threshold to catch the dynamics of that specific frequency range. The compressor uses real-time crest-factor analysis, so it adapts automatically to the character of the material in each band. Lower the Compressor Mix for transparent glue, or push it higher for aggressive density in specific bands. The compression is especially useful here because it keeps each band’s level stable as the phaser reshapes it.

​
5. Enable Spatial Panning

Activate spatial panning on any band to place it in the stereo or surround field. Each band can orbit independently using its own LFO-driven trajectory.
  • In Stereo mode, bands pan left-right with adjustable width
  • In Quad, 5.1, or 7.1 mode, bands follow orbital paths across the full speaker layout
Try sending Band 1 (sub-bass) to center, Band 4 (mids) on a slow stereo orbit, and Band 7 (brilliance) on a fast wide orbit for frequency-dependent spatial movement.

​
6. Try the Neural LFO

Switch any band’s LFO waveform from a standard shape to Neural LFO mode. This engages a proprietary modulation system that produces organic, evolving modulation curves — the phaser sweep will feel alive and non-repetitive compared to standard sine or triangle waveforms.

​
7. Solo and Compare

Use the Solo button on any band to isolate it and hear exactly what the phaser, compressor, and spatial panner are doing to that frequency range. Use Mute to remove specific bands from the output. Use Modulation Lock to freeze a band’s current LFO state while you adjust other bands.
Start with the Dry/Wet at 15–30% to get a feel for how the effect sits with your source material. Once you like the character, push it higher. At 100% wet, this is a completely different sound from the input — which may be exactly what you want.
