Every effect below is listed in the sidebar, so you can jump straight to one. Return to [Effects reference](/animoia-docs/effects-reference.md) for stack behavior shared by all effects. ## Reverb Shapes the layer’s sound with reverb. Add it from **Effects > Audio** by double-clicking it or dragging it onto a compatible layer. > **Note:** Apply this only to a layer with audio. The result follows the effect-stack order. **Properties** | Name | Control | Visual or audible result | | ------------------------ | ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Mix | Number | Balances the processed result against the original image. | | Room Size | Number | Sets how large the simulated space sounds, from a tight booth to a long hall with a slow tail. | | Decay (seconds) | Number | Sets how quickly the processing lets go after the sound falls away. | | Damping | Number | Sets how quickly the reflections are absorbed. High values sound like soft furnishings swallowing the tail; low values like bare hard walls. | | Pre-delay (milliseconds) | Number | Changes which moment of the layer feeds into the reverb result. | ## Delay Shapes the layer’s sound with delay. Add it from **Effects > Audio** by double-clicking it or dragging it onto a compatible layer. > **Note:** Apply this only to a layer with audio. The result follows the effect-stack order. **Properties** | Name | Control | Visual or audible result | | ------------------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Delay Time (milliseconds) | Number | Changes which moment of the layer feeds into the delay result. | | Feedback | Number | Sets how much of each echo is fed back in to make the next one, which is what turns a single slap into a long repeating decay. | | Mix | Number | Balances the processed result against the original image. | | Stereo Offset | Number | Shifts the echoes toward one speaker while the dry sound stays put, spreading the repeats across the stereo field. | ## Pitch Shapes the layer’s sound with pitch. Add it from **Effects > Audio** by double-clicking it or dragging it onto a compatible layer. > **Note:** Apply this only to a layer with audio. The result follows the effect-stack order. **Properties** | Name | Control | Visual or audible result | | ----------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Pitch (semitones) | Number | Shifts the pitch up or down in semitones without changing the playback speed. `12` is one octave up. | | High Quality | Toggle | Turns high quality on or off. | ## Bitcrusher Shapes the layer’s sound with bitcrusher. Add it from **Effects > Audio** by double-clicking it or dragging it onto a compatible layer. > **Note:** Apply this only to a layer with audio. The result follows the effect-stack order. **Properties** | Name | Control | Visual or audible result | | --------------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Bit Depth | Number | Sets how many bits each sample is reduced to. Low values add the crunchy quantization noise of cheap digital audio. | | Sample Rate Reduction | Number | Sets how quickly bitcrusher evolves or repeats over time. | | Mix | Number | Balances the processed result against the original image. | ## Distortion Shapes the layer’s sound with distortion. Add it from **Effects > Audio** by double-clicking it or dragging it onto a compatible layer. > **Note:** Apply this only to a layer with audio. The result follows the effect-stack order. **Properties** | Name | Control | Visual or audible result | | ---------------- | ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Drive | Number | Sets how hard the signal is pushed into clipping, from mild warmth to full fuzz. | | Tone | Number | Filters the distorted signal, from dark and muffled at the low end to bright and biting at the high end. | | Output Gain (dB) | Number | Raises or lowers the audible level of this part of the signal. | | Mix | Number | Balances the processed result against the original image. | ## Pan Shapes the layer’s sound with pan. Add it from **Effects > Audio** by double-clicking it or dragging it onto a compatible layer. > **Note:** Apply this only to a layer with audio. The result follows the effect-stack order. **Properties** | Name | Control | Visual or audible result | | -------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Left/Right Pan | Number | Places the sound in the stereo field, from fully left through center to fully right. | | Stereo Width | Number | Sets the horizontal size of the stereo. | ## Bass & Treble Shapes the layer’s sound with bass & treble. Add it from **Effects > Audio** by double-clicking it or dragging it onto a compatible layer. > **Note:** Apply this only to a layer with audio. The result follows the effect-stack order. **Properties** | Name | Control | Visual or audible result | | ---------------- | ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- | | Bass (dB) | Number | Boosts or cuts the low frequencies in decibels. | | Treble (dB) | Number | Boosts or cuts the high frequencies in decibels. | | Output Gain (dB) | Number | Raises or lowers the audible level of this part of the signal. | --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://animoia.gitbook.io/animoia-docs/effects-reference/audio.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
