What BALANCE does
Rather than boosting or cutting fixed bands, the plugin balances the overall frequency distribution of the signal toward a target response curve. A wet gain control matches the output loudness to the input, scaled by the EQ amount, so the change can be judged without a level jump.
Processing uses proprietary minimum-phase filters that the developer lists at 3 samples of latency, and low-cut and high-cut filters at 12 dB per octave are included. Optional double-precision processing is available, and the interface is fully vectorized and scalable. A Metal/Direct 3D accelerated analyzer shows the spectrum, and a compact EASY view hides it to save screen space and system resources. The plugin is available as VST3, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS, and activation uses iLok.
Key features
- Adaptive balancing. The equalizer adjusts the overall frequency response of the signal in one pass, so a source can be moved toward the target curve without setting individual bands.
- Target curve controls. SLOPE, WEIGHTING and BASS AIR set the shape of the target response curve, which can be adjusted quickly for each source.
- Global EQ amount. A single control sets how strongly the curve is applied, and the wet gain follows it so loudness stays matched to the input.
- Minimum-phase filtering. The filters are custom minimum-phase designs with a stated latency of 3 samples, avoiding the pre-ringing that linear-phase designs introduce.
- 16-channel support. Processing covers up to 16 channels, which the developer aims at immersive workflows.
- Filters and precision. Low-cut and high-cut filters at 12 dB per octave are provided, and double-precision processing can be switched on.
- Analyzer and EASY view. A Metal/Direct 3D accelerated analyzer displays the result while the CPU stays focused on audio, and the analyzer can be hidden in the compact EASY view.
Compatibility
BALANCE comes as VST3, AU and AAX for Windows 10 and macOS 10.15 in 64-bit builds, with native Apple Silicon support listed. Activation uses iLok.
Who it is for
Mix engineers, sound designers, content creators, re-recording mixers, composers and music producers who want global frequency balancing rather than band-by-band EQ.
