About

smart:EQ 4 is an intelligent EQ that analyzes your audio material and uses AI to equalize it in order to correct spectral problems and achieve tonal balance.

The traditional way to mix a project, starting with individual elements and building a mix piece-by-piece, is the bottom-up method for mixing music. This tried-and-tested approach is still possible in smart:EQ 4, with simple control over the character of each channel of a mix thanks to the plugin’s spectral shaping, but another tactic is possible as well. In Group mode, you can define the mix from the top down, creating an unmasking hierarchy between up to 10 instances of smart:EQ. This set priorities for each smart:filter, bringing some elements to the forefront of the sonic stage, leaving some in the middle, and pushing some into the background. smart:EQ 4’s smart:filter can be used in three modes: 'Track' balances the channel; 'Group' doesn’t affect the channel but reduces masking between it and other group members; 'Track and Group' applies balancing to the channel and makes it subject to unmasking.

What's Included

• Compression Matrix: Displays a range of compressor settings and allows smooth transitions between different compression characters.
• Compression Scope: Visualizes the viable compression range of the analyzed signal.
• Group Mode: Links multiple plug-in instances for shared control of threshold, ratio, attack, release, and mix. Enables batch adjustments from a single interface.
• Zero-latency Mode: Minimum-phase processing for live use and recording with no delay. Linear-phase mode remains available for mixing and post-production.
• Refined Input Riding: Stabilizes level variations prior to compression.
• Enhanced Style Control: Updated compression engines with defined attack and release behavior and refined saturation characteristics.
