The easiest way to shape your sound — three simple dials for Low (bass), Mid (the middle) and High (treble). It's just like the tone knobs on a stereo, it's the heart of the Basic interface, and it's free and impossible to get wrong.
How it works
Sound is a blend of low, middle and high pitches — bass, mids and treble (if those words are new, Sound basics explains them in a minute). Tone Control gives you one knob for each.
Turn a knob up to add more of that range, down to reduce it. Each knob makes a smooth, gentle change centred on a typical spot — Low around the bass, Mid around voices and instruments, High around the bright top end — and the app draws the resulting shape so you can see what you've done.
What you can use it for on your phone
- Warm up a thin, tinny podcast by nudging Low up.
- Brighten a dull recording with a little more High.
- Tame a harsh, fatiguing track by easing High down.
- Add a bit of gym or commute thump with a small Low boost — no menus, no numbers.
How to use it
Turn Low for warmth and weight, Mid for the body of voices and instruments, High for brightness and air. Double-tap a knob (or its number) to reset it to the middle; tap the number to type an exact amount. It's right on the main screen in the Basic interface.
Why it helps
It's the fast, foolproof way to shape the overall feel of your sound without thinking about specific frequencies — the friendly alternative to the full equalizer.
Settings explained
- Low — Bass — the deep weight and warmth. Up for fuller, bigger bass; down to clean up boom (up to ±15 dB).
- Mid — The middle, where voices and most instruments live. Up brings them forward and clearer; down pushes them back (a "scooped" sound).
- High — Treble — brightness, detail and air. Up for more sparkle and clarity; down to soften harshness (up to ±15 dB).
What the live display shows
The line shows the exact shape your three knobs create — using the same maths the app applies to the music — so you can see your bass / mid / treble balance before you commit.
