Each preset has three variation A, B and C. The A variations make a more general
analysis of the original sound and although they process the selected cue/region more
quickly, the end result may not be as accurate as using either the B or C variations which
make a more detailed analysis of the original material (but take slightly longer to process).

This works well on female speech.
This works well on male speech.
This is more appropriate for deeper male speech.
This works well with solo and ensemble singing voices in
isolation and, in music studio applications would be
applicable for processing backing vocals and the like.
This works well with rhythmic material with little bass
content or bass content that is short.
This works well with rhythmic material. HF and MF is
handled well and short as are sharp bass sounds.
This is also suitable for rhythmic material but will handle
longer bass components better.
This works on very rhythmic material, especially solo drums,
etc., but can upset bass content.
This also works well on percussive material but can handle
bass content better.
This works well processing material that is percussive,
staccato and rhythmic with a wide frequency range
(although sustained bass content may 'wobble').
This works well on material that has long, sustained LF
content. Musically, it is effective for processing slow ballads
and handles long bass notes quite well but you may
occasionally experience slight 'flamming' (i.e. double
triggering) with some percussive sounds.
Suitable for processing a wide range of musical styles that
have a broad band of bass and high frequency content
and rhythmic elements.
This works well on material with a wide frequency range
that is not too percussive.
This works well on orchestral music with lively dynamic
strings and HF content.
This is optimised to handle bass content better.
This is better suited to slow orchestral material with long,
sustained notes.
