The center of the UI allows you to either click and drag to set your bands, and you’ve got an optional “blind” mode if you’d prefer to go old school. Each band includes gain, Q, frequency, and band solo controls. The 8 bands run across the top of the UI with the typical low pass filter, low shelf, bells (or smart bands), high shelf, hi pass filter configuration, with the option to change the filter types as needed. The interface opts for a modern, flat look and is freely resizable by clicking and dragging the lower-right corner (though the size setting can’t be set as default which is disappointing).

Installation was straightforward (select folders, select plugin types, then done) and copy protection is a simple serial number, which is always appreciated.įull GUI making use of two smart bands, some HPF and some hi-shelving. While I won’t call this an auto-EQ, the “smart bands,” which are this EQ’s big selling point, are definitely a step in that direction. Similar to a preset, the user can edit and save profiles individually.Sonible Smart:EQ+ is an 8-band linear-phase EQ with some unique features designed to speed up the mix process by basically “learning” your audio, and creating a specialized EQ curve to reduce imbalances in the frequency response. what kind of instrument or voice it deals with. Custom-made profiles are designed to add even more flexibility by optimising the smart algorithm for different source signals. The Threshold and the Limit Line of the smart-band primes the algorithm for the essential signal components. How Does smart:EQ live work?īandwidth, responsiveness and the weighting of the autonomous calculated filter curve can be precisely defined. Informed by years of hands-on experience, the practice-oriented selection of parameters facilitates a targeted adaptation and control of the smart:engine algorithm to users purposes. The plug-in provides detailed but intuitive controls and allows adjusting the algorithm to the mixing task at hand. Here is what Sonible has to say about smart:EQ live: smart:EQ live belongs to the latest generation of AI mixing assistants. Smart:EQ is a latency-free live plug-in that features a high-precision adaptive filter that analyzes audio signals then quickly interprets them musically and compensates spectral imbalances in real-time. Smart:EQ live is a very transparent sounding EQ and works quickly to shape audio musically in seconds.
