Frequently Asked Questions
It’s significantly warmer and less piercing; expect a more complex wash rather than a sharp, defined 'splash' sound.
No, the hammering is intentionally uneven, contributing to the unique sonic complexity and varied overtones – that's part of the 'Complex' designation.
While versatile, its warm character makes it less ideal for aggressively loud genres; it’ll get lost in a dense mix.
