1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 JET
Thank you for choosing Jet! The new Acqua plugin bundle focused on Dynamic EQ.
Jet is the ultimate, all-new, 2-band dynamic Equalizer plugin suite from Acustica Audio con-
sisting of two FREE players, JET and JET MIX, both available in VST, VST3, AU and AAX
format.
This is one of the most versatile and indispensable tools for audio engineers who need to
solve problems with just a few clicks, and without compromises, truly deserving a place
among Acustica’s flagship products due to its sound and design quality. This suite of dyna-
mic eqs is inspired by some very special gear that includes one of the best, renowed, and
versatile Bus Compressors made in the UK, recently reintroduced to the market in a brand
new form that has already been a great success due to its powerful, yet musical sound
character. Unlike the dynamic Eqs previously released by Acustica, this new suite incorpo-
rates algorithmic technology for the dynamic part and allows the loading of different types
of equalisers derived from our most popular Acqua Eqs.
To get the most out of your new plugin suite, please read this user manual carefully.

2 OVERVIEW
Whilst mixing sometimes ‘Static’ EQ may not be enough. The problem is that sometimes
we don’t want or need to cut a frequency throughout the entire track, we just need to cut it
when it exceeds a certain threshold. The main idea behind Compressors (Dynamic proces-
sor) is the dynamic manipulation of the overall level of the au dio material.
Equalizers change the spectral character of the audio sig nal, statically. Multiband proces-
sors can do both. They can be used like a filter that isn’t limited to being set to a specific gain
level, but it is able to change its gain settings dynamically using a control signal. In the audio
market, there are several, often complex, tools that can perform this function but are poten-
tially destructive if not used correctly.
