As the name suggests, Front DAW is intended to be used as the very first plug-in on every track (if desired – FD is really CPU friendly). The plug-in adds gain and subtle saturation to them. Thanks to VARM (Variable Analogue Random Modeling – used also previously on Royal Compressor) each track would sound slightly different even with identical settings.
Version 2.2 now includes VARM II Technology with several improvements.
