Mixing the layersinside a sound.

51 of Hush's 72 sounds are built from separate layers, such as the drops, distant rain and background in Soft rain. With Hush Plus you can set the level of each layer.

Most of Hush's sounds are built from separate layers, such as drops, distant rain and background, and Hush Plus lets you set each one. Lower the part that catches your attention and keep the steady part.

What a layer is

A layer is one part of a sound, mixed with the others to make the whole. Rain has its drops and its distance; a fire has its roar and its crackle; a fan has its air and its motor.

Some examples

The layers of a few sounds, as Hush names them:

  • Soft rain: drops, distant rain and background.
  • Ocean wash: waves, foam and distant surf.
  • Distant thunder: thunder, rain and wind.
  • Quiet fire: roar, flicker and crackles.
  • Night train: rumble, wheels and rails.

Why adjust them

Lower the part that keeps catching your attention, such as single drops or crackles, and keep the steady part. Or do the opposite, if the movement is what you like. Mix shows As made until you change it.

Which groups have layers

Layers follow the kind of sound. Every everyday sound has them; noise colours do not:

Where to find Mix

On the player, open Volume and timer. A layered sound shows Mix, with one slider for each layer. It reads As made until you move a slider, and Custom after. Your mix stays on the device with your other preferences.
