How LEARN works

Listens.

LEARN listens to your song at your level. No genre menu required.

Sets up.

ThuMP sets up the whole chain for this song and checks it at matched loudness before you hear it.

Sets and shows

LEARN sets up the chain for your song and lists every value it set on the faceplate.

You stay in charge

It's your starting point, not your ceiling. Every faceplate value LEARN sets is a control you can move. Your input, output, genre and character stay yours. No model, no cloud.

Genre profiles tuned against real reference masters, or AUTO: LEARN detects the genre for you.

Colour gives you a sound. LEARN gives you a decision — and shows its working.

/ Product lineup

Three instruments. One clear job per faceplate.

  1. 01

    01 / Press LEARN

    Play your track, press LEARN, and keep the music playing until it says DONE. ThuMP sets up the chain for your song at matched loudness.

  2. 02

    A/B

    After a successful pass, the original setup is in the inactive slot. Compare it with the learned setup and check the reported loudness difference.

  3. 03

    03 / Move any control

    Every value LEARN sets on the faceplate is a control you can move. Input, output, genre and character stay yours.

/ The four sections

A face of sections,
not a schematic.

Header

LEARN, KEY, INPUT and OUTPUT. INPUT sets how hard you drive the instance. OUTPUT trims the finished sound. With TRUE PEAK on, negative OUTPUT adds headroom and positive boosts are held at 0.0 dB.

PROCESSING and CHARACTER

The musical half. Seven macros, five tone stages. At rest they sit off or at their musical zero, so a fresh insert does not change the record.

LOUDNESS, METERS and OUTPUT

Hear loudness and what the delivery costs, then set the one ceiling and the body-to-snap balance.

THREE-BAND COMPRESSOR

The stereo picture, the three band thresholds, and the width control.

/ What you do not have to set

Every value LEARN sets on the faceplate is visible and stays under your hand. Bypass at default is bit-exact.

/ Method

How we assess sound.

This describes how I listen and what I measure while listening. It is a method, not a set of published test results.

  • Compare at equal playback levelBoth versions are levelled to the same integrated loudness before anything is judged. Louder is not better, it is just louder.
  • Listen for low end and transient shapeDefinition in the bottom octaves, and whether the hit still arrives intact after processing.
  • Inspect stereo image and delivery levelsWidth and mono behaviour, then integrated loudness and true peak against the target for the release format.
