Quick presets — hear each character:
Step 1 — Exploration: Start pink noise, then drag the Bass EQ all the way right (+18 dB). Listen for a few seconds — that muddy, pillow-like quality is Boomy. Then drag it hard left (−18 dB) — that thin, cardboard quality is Tight / Thin.
Hear each preset using the chips above.
