Sonible smart:EQ 4

The intelligent equalizer smart:EQ the powerhouse in sonible’s suite of AI-assistive tools has become a staple for audio producers the world over. Its unique smart:filter spectrally balances tracks in seconds and makes spectral mixing a simple matter of dragging and dropping alongside other tracks in a group. With smart:EQ 4 sonible has heightened the equalizer’s versatility as well as added new control features.

smart:EQ offers hierarchical control over multitrack unmasking processes and for version 4 any instance within the same group can be controlled from any other instance. The plugin’s AI-powered Profiles have also been enhanced and expanded: choose one of the new genre-based Mix Profiles or import a reference track and smart:EQ will now be able to use these as targets for your track’s character.

The core smart:filter within each EQ instance has now been boosted with a Smoothing parameter for gentler filtering. Standard EQ bands can now perform as a Dynamic EQ with familiar compressor and gate-style controls. An Auto Gain function to compensate for level adjustments has also been added.

Top-down or Bottom-up Mixing 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.
