Live, it's a formidable ally for keeping a sharp attack and a clear sound in the mix. In the studio, it helps maintain a clean, coherent foundation, especially useful if you record clean takes intended for reamping or further processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRock, pop, indie, blues, post-hardcore, ambient: regardless of style, a buffer doesn't \"make a sound,\" it \u003cstrong\u003epreserves your sound\u003c\/strong\u003e.
