Sylvia Massy applies distortion to the bass to enhance its presence and prominence. She uses the Sansamp PSA-1 plugin by Avid, a part of her mixing template, to add a "buzzy", "crispy," and "fizzy" quality to the signal. The distortion increases the bass's audibility, helping it to cut through the track better and come more the front of the mix.
