Smooth/Enhance plug

EQ, as well as the Smooth/Enhance plug-in. Many mixes end up being too busy and sound muddy from having too many sounds and instruments. Cleaning up individual tracks with equalization early in the mix allows you to emphasize parts by removing unwanted frequencies... 

The Smooth/Enhance plug-in is a very special case of an equalization plug-in. It is carefully tuned to eliminate (smooth) some of the artifacts caused by other processes and effects or by problems with the source audio. 

The other use is to quickly brighten up a track (enhance), especially one that has been softened with any number of other effects. One example might be a track that has been compressed to make it a bit louder in a mix. This can sometimes result in a flatter, less lively sound. Another notable example is when down sampling. Down sampling is the process of changing the sample rate from, say, an audio CD at 44,100 Hz to 11,025 Hz for distribution over the Internet. The Smooth Enhance plug-in has one simple Operation slider that is used to control the effect.
