Sonible smart:EQ 4
smart:EQ, the cornerstone of Sonible's AI-powered tools, has become an audio producer's secret weapon. Now, smart:EQ 4 takes spectral mixing to a whole new level, offering enhanced control and an expanded feature set designed to streamline your workflow and deliver exceptional results.
Effortless Spectral Balancing
smart:EQ 4's core strength lies in its unique smart:filter. This intelligent tool analyzes your audio and spectrally balances it in seconds. Spectral mixing becomes a breeze – simply drag and drop tracks within a group for seamless balance adjustments.
Enhanced Versatility and Control
smart:EQ 4 pushes the boundaries of spectral control. Manage complex multi-track projects with hierarchical control over the unmasking process. For even greater efficiency, any instance within a group can now be controlled remotely from another.
AI-Powered Reference Matching
Take advantage of the plugin's enhanced AI profiles. Choose from genre-specific Mix Profiles or import your own reference track. smart:EQ 4 intelligently analyzes the target and applies its characteristics to your audio, shaping its spectral response for a cohesive and professional sound.
Refined Core Features
The heart of smart:EQ 4, the smart:filter, receives a welcome upgrade with the addition of a Smoothing parameter. This allows for even more precise and nuanced spectral shaping. Standard EQ bands are now equipped with powerful Dynamic EQ functionality, offering familiar compressor and gate-style controls for detailed control over dynamics. An Auto Gain function ensures level adjustments are automatically compensated for, maintaining consistent gain structure.
Flexible Mixing Workflows
smart:EQ 4 caters to both traditional "bottom-up" mixing and innovative spectral mixing approaches. Utilize the smart:filter in three modes to tailor its behavior to your workflow: Track mode balances individual channels, Group mode reduces masking between channels within a group, and Track and Group mode combines both approaches.
Advanced Profile Workflows
The smart:filter leverages profiles to analyze and balance your audio. smart:EQ 4 introduces exciting new profile options. Take advantage of Mix Profiles trained on entire mixes from various genres, or import a reference track for precise character emulation.
Effortless Group Management
Version 4 empowers you with superior group control. Gain a comprehensive view of how other smart:EQ instances within the group are functioning and make adjustments directly from a single instance. The Group View mode allows you to manipulate entire EQ curves within the group simultaneously, while profile selection and analysis are available for all group members.
Deep Dive Control in Track View
While Track View prioritizes the current instance, group properties and placements remain accessible for adjustments. Additionally, the standard EQ bands in smart:EQ 4 now feature dynamic behavior with dedicated controls for Threshold, Ratio, Attack, Release, and Range. These dynamic EQ bands can be used independently or in conjunction with the smart:filter for a truly customized approach to tonal shaping.
