ColourBox 2 makes your music sound finished. bigger, warmer, wider, and glued together like a professional release. It was built by Streaky, the mastering engineer behind thousands of records across two decades: three musical EQ curves voiced by ear, stereo image control, and two analog-style saturation characters on a single button. No menus, no learning curve. Turn it until it sounds like a record, because there are no wrong positions on these knobs.

HOW COLOURBOX 2
FINISHES YOUR MUSIC

The S button carries two different machines. Both are saturators, but they're different species, built for different jobs. One click cycles between them; the Intensity slider decides how far they go.

WARM

WARMHOT

Warm is a soft polynomial shaper, a very gentle curve that barely touches quiet and medium signal and only starts bending things as they get loud. It adds low-order harmonics that the ear reads as energy, excitement, "aliveness" rather than obvious distortion, and it leaves drum hits almost untouched.

Hot is a tape-style saturator, the classic smooth "tanh" curve with a slight asymmetry, which is the same basic shape analog tape and valve circuits produce. It compresses peaks a little, thickens and glues everything, and adds that warm even-harmonic richness people call "analog."

BODY

Adds weight and richness where a mix carries its heft, the low-mids. It's a broad, musical lift rather than a surgical boost, so tracks get fuller and warmer without the bass turning soft or the mix clouding over. Thin mixes gain substance; small speakers suddenly sound like bigger ones. This is the knob that makes a record feel expensive at the bottom end.

CLARITY

Opens the whole picture up. As you turn it, the mix gets cleaner and better organised. The low end tightens and locks to the centre where it punches hardest, while the top end spreads out wide and airy. The result reads as definition and space: everything sits where it should, translates to any speaker, and the highs breathe without a hint of harshness. It's the "suddenly sounds finished" knob.

FOCUS

Brings the heart of the record forward. Vocals, snare, the elements living in the centre, all without touching the width or smearing the stereo image. Where a normal presence boost can make things brittle and pull the sides in with it, Focus works only on the middle of the picture: the lead gets closer and more confident, the edges stay exactly where they were. Presence without the phase penalty.
