smart:chain is an intelligent channel strip plugin designed to make complex mixing workflows more intuitive and connected. Multiple built-in processors share an understanding of your audio and work together as one system, while session-wide features such as Auto Leveling, intelligent depth staging, multi-instance communication, and centralized control extend the workflow across your entire mix. This audio plug-in provides you with intelligent starting points and takes care of repetitive groundwork while keeping every parameter accessible, so you can work faster without giving up control over your sound.
Unlike traditional signal chains, where individual processors are stacked and configured one by one, smart:chain approaches processing as a connected system. Its modules, including EQ, compression, de-harshing, gating, input riding, and saturation, share information and work from the same analysis of your audio. Session-wide features such as Auto Leveling and depth staging extend this connected approach across your mix. This reduces the need to repeatedly adjust one processor in response to another, resulting in a more cohesive starting point, less setup, and a signal chain that works together from the start.
Rather than prescribing how your mix should sound, smart:chain is designed to give you a solid foundation to work from. The tutorials below will give you a head start and guide you through the features smart:chain has to offer, so you can get the most out of it.
