Low Control is a low-end compressor and harmonic enhancer plugin from Black Salt Audio. It compresses the low frequencies independently from the rest of the signal and adds harmonic enhancement at a frequency you set.
Low Control combines two low-frequency tools in one plugin. The CONTROL side compresses the lows separately from the full mix, so you can tame bass without squashing the rest of the signal. The ENHANCE side adds harmonics at a frequency you choose, which can add weight to deep sub bass or help bass come through on small speakers. The developer describes the goal as a low end that translates across different playback systems.
The CONTROL section works on low frequencies only. You set a threshold, choose the frequency range you want to compress below, and then blend back in as much controlled low end as you need.
Because the compression is limited to the lows, the midrange and high frequencies of the signal are left alone. This makes it practical for keeping kick and bass levels steady while the rest of the mix stays open.
The ENHANCE section adds harmonic content at a frequency you define with a single slider. Lower settings target deep sub bass. Higher settings bring the bass into a range that smaller speakers can reproduce, so the bass is easier to hear on consumer playback systems.
Using both sections together lets you control the amount of low-end energy and shape where the added harmonics sit.
