What SMOOTH does
Rather than applying a fixed cut, SMOOTH rides each of its 40 ERB bands independently, so a band only acts when a resonance rises above its threshold. The bands are spaced to match how the ear resolves frequency, not as arbitrary splits. M/S routing lets the mid and side signals be processed separately, and a spectral display shows in real time what is being reduced. Its 32 factory presets are installed with it.
Key features
- 40-band ERB dynamics. Each of the 40 ERB-spaced bands is suppressed on its own, so processing stays confined to the frequency where a resonance appears.
- Resonance and Transient modes. Resonance mode addresses sustained harshness, while Transient mode addresses percussive spikes.
- M/S routing. Mid and side signals can be processed independently, which allows a center-panned vocal to be tamed without changing the stereo field.
- Spectral display. A real-time visualization shows which frequencies are being reduced, so the processing can be checked against the problem it targets.
Compatibility
SMOOTH is available as VST3 and AU for Windows 10 and macOS 10.13 or later, with native support for Apple Silicon listed.
