  • Audition mode to isolate affected frequency range.
• Workflow-supporting visuals:
  • Configurable analyzers to improve your workflow and identify potential issues instantly.
  • Pre and post EQ spectrum analyzer with external side-chain support.
  • Configurable frequency resolution, spectral tilt, speed and dynamic range.
  • Spectrum analyzer with peak hold.
  • Vertical spectrogram mode with a range of color schemes.
  • Interactive piano keyboard for frequency parameter adjustment.
  • Fully resizable interface with dozens of color themes.
• EQ learn and match:

• Adaptive EQ filters for dedicated tasks. These include, among others:
  • Transient filters:EQ transients independently from sustaining elements in your mix.
  • Sustain filters: the opposite as transient filters; EQ sustaining parts but keep transients untouched.
  • Direct & ambiance filters: employ spatial decomposition technology to allow EQ-ing of direct and ambiance components independently.

  • Background filters: EQ the background sounds separately from foreground audio.
  • And more.
