Looking for a EQ with dynamic spectrum match

I'd like to be able to capture an EQ spectrum from a reference track and then mix my own track into it and have the matching dynamically adjust as I go.
Currently I'm using ProQ3 and what I'm finding is the adjustment made to mirror the reference is fixed. Let's say for example I have a 3db dip in the midrange and I then boost my track, ProQ3 still maintains the 3db boost. When instead I'd like it to reduce as I get closer to the reference.
Essentially when starting a project I'd load a reference in and balance my channels until the EQ is making minimal adjustments.

Hmmm... MAutoDynamicEQ should be able to do this. But are you sure that the ProQ3 doesnt?
The art of knowing is knowing what to ignore.

Thanks, I'll check MAutoDynamicEQ out.
I'm not 100% sure ProQ3 doesn't do it but I have watched enough videos to be reasonably confident. Very happy to be proven wrong though.

On initial review does seem to tick the correct boxes. Checking it out now

He seems to want it in realtime, DSMV3 will take a snapshot of the average spectrum for the entire length of the track you want to match, it doesn't really EQ either, it's more a multiband compressor although you can EQ the spectrum but you're limited to 3 bands
Maybe MSpectralDynamics will get closer ?

MFreeformEqualizer has a capture, too.

Currently trying to turn noise into music. Is boutique the new old?

TDR Nova with the use of it's SmartOp function (dynamic match) combined with a frequency template as matching curve.

Thanks all.
TDR Nova GE looks like it does what I need. Downloading now

Eh? Of course the reference/target spectrum isn't changing over time. The realtime part is the adjustment of your spectrum to the target.
It uses more bands than that, it's more like a dynamic graphic EQ with a reduced number of user controls. (Graphic EQs have crossovers like a multiband compressor...)it doesn't really EQ either, it's more a multiband compressor although you can EQ the spectrum but you're limited to 3 bands
Hopefully Nova GE will work well for OP, it's such a great tool.

I don't seem to be getting along with Nova GE so I'm still looking.
That said, I'll continue to test it but it's not doing what I would expect. As an extreme example I cut all the bass out of my source track and used pink noise as a reference. I would have expected Nova to try and boost the lows like crazy to compensate but there was very little change. I even watched the wizard, Dan Worrall, and am using the same approach as him so

The spectrum doesn't change though, whether you're at start of the track, the middle or the end, the spectrum is the same (I'm talking about the copied spectrum here not the spectrum of the track you're mixing), from what the OP says he wants the spectrum to dynamically change depending on where he is (time based) in the track he's mixing. DSMV3 doesn't work like this it's take an average snapshot of the whole track and doesn't change unless you do a new snapshot also the multiband does use way more than 3 bands, like a lot more BUT you can only manually change the spectrum at 3 points via the selective EQimrae wrote: ↑Mon Aug 10, 2020 8:53 amEh?

You seem to be arguing different points to what I was saying so I just thought I would clarify

not sure about the 'spectrum match' part.
