BALANCE
Global EQ Curve Shaping
Global EQ Curve Shaping
BALANCE makes global EQ curve shaping quick and easy. A 16-channel capable smart equalizer that adaptively controls the overall frequency distribution of your audio, BALANCE intelligently adjusts itself to match your audio to a target EQ curve you set with just a handful of controls. Put any source in its own place near-instantly, rebalance a full mix, or give even great sounding recordings that little something extra. Works similarly to a match EQ, handles as easily as a tilt EQ, and sounds like a Zynaptiq EQ.
Whether you are a mix engineer, sound designer, content creator, re-recording mixer, composer, or music producer, BALANCE is for you!

WORKFLOW, WORKFLOW, WORKFLOW!
BALANCE is very easy to use – you set the target EQ curve that your audio should be conformed to, using just four controls, then adjust the global EQ amount to taste...done. High- and low-cut filters, as well as gain compensation that scales with EQ amount, can be used to fine-tune the result even further. As BALANCE's presets don't contain any specific EQ settings per se, but rather the information what EQ curve the result should have, you can build a library of profiles that fit your workflows and sound library perfectly.
Inserting BALANCE across your mixer with the default settings may actually be all you need to do in many cases.

PERFORMANCE GALORE
Built using our proprietary minimum phase filters, BALANCE introduces just 3 samples of latency, while using very little CPU. And sounds glorious, of course, and free of any pre-ringing that linear phase designs would introduce.
On a modern computer, you can literally run hundreds of channels, making BALANCE a great choice for inclusion in your default session. Try it, you won't go back.
The plug-in features a Metal/Direct 3D accelerated analyzer to keep your CPU focused on audio, while the GPU does the drawing. The analyzer can of course be hidden to save screen real-estate and system resources, too - just switch to the compact EASY view.

COPY PROTECTION
This software uses the latest PACE copy protection, which allows you to place your activation on your machine or on an iLok 2* (or newer; not included). You will need a free iLok.com account to use our software, even for the the demos - but you do not necessarily need the iLok 2 dongle, if your machine has internet access (activation of a system without internet connectivity requires an iLok 2 device). All required software is installed along with our plugins, but we generally recommend downloading the latest versions directly from iLok.com.
