To use this Apogee ModFX Bundle, first, install it on your macOS or Windows DAW if you're not using Apogee hardware. If you have an Element Series or Ensemble Thunderbolt audio interface, you can run it on the hardware DSP. For mixing or mastering, start with the 6 - band parametric EQ in ModEQ 6 to adjust the frequency bands as needed. You can use the lo/hi pass, peak/shelf, and peak/notch options. Then, use the ModComp compressor to fine - tune the dynamics. Be careful not to over - compress as it may affect the natural sound. For maintenance, keep your software and hardware updated to ensure the best performance. Also, make sure your computer or audio interface has enough resources to run the plugins smoothly.
