Get yourself smart:limit, smart:gate, smart:reverb, smart:EQ 3, smart:comp 2, true:level, true:balance, proximityEQ+ and entropyEQ+ in a bundle and save more than 50%
This is the good stuff: The content-aware limiter smart:limit, the source-adaptive reverb smart:reverb, the intelligent equalizer smart:EQ 3, the content-aware gate smart:gate, the spectro-dynamic compressor smart:comp 2, true:balance for checking your mix' balance, true:level for making sure the dynamics and loudness of your track are in good shape, proximityEQ+ with its frequency-selective dereverberation skills and the frequency-selective transient manipulator entropyEQ+ in a bundle.
smart:limit offers automatic parametrization, extensive loudness monitoring and a unique set of sound-shaping tools. Additionally, the plug-in interactively guides you in finding the right loudness and dynamics for publishing.
smart:gate features intelligent source detection that focuses on your selected target source in the signal. In comparison with conventional gates, smart:gate delivers solid results and makes parametrization incredibly fast and easy.
smart:reverb creates every reverb from scratch. By custom-fitting the reverb to the spectral and temporal characteristics of the input signal, typical problems such as disturbing resonances or muddy reverb tails are avoided from the very beginning.
smart:EQ 3 analyzes your audio material and generates a custom filter curve to create a natural sounding tonal balance. Its intelligent features enhance detail and clarity of your tracks and make for transparent mixes.
smart:comp 2 recommends the most appropriate settings for threshold, ratio, attack and release with a single click, while the spectral compression dynamically keeps an eye on the tonal balance of the input signal.
true:level sports a unique visualization of the interplay between loudness and dynamics, allowing you to easily find the right trade-off between these qualities. With key readouts – Loudness (LUFS), Dynamics (dB), Loudness Range (LU) and true peak (dbTP) – supported by target indicators, you’ll immediately see whether the values of your track come close to those of your chosen reference.
true:balance revolves around analyzing the spectral distribution and mono compatibility of your mix. It shows a real-time spectrum analysis and the average spectrum over time. To evaluate the distribution of your track, you can use either the included genre references or load up to 8 reference tracks.
proximityEQ+ lets you move audio sources closer, add space to your mix and optimize recorded room acoustics in post-production. Frequency-selective dereverberation allows you to precisely separate direct from indirect components of the signal.
entropyEQ+ equips you with the tools to manipulate selected frequencies ranges in isolation from each other. It makes the editing process of impact noises easier and introduces you to a whole new world of post-production creativity.
