Glue is a sound quality that helps perceiving individual elements as a unified whole. It’s most commonly achieved with saturation and/or saturating dynamics processors like compressors. With the goal of emerging harmonic distortion. That’s moving ‘in tune’ with the signals’ sum. To subtly amplify musical qualities of the material at hand.

Metaphor

It’s the sonic equivalent of the Dude’s rug.
