9th June 2026
Codwaves has released WaveBalance, an intelligent auto gain staging plugin designed to keep tracks at a consistent operating level using transparent loudness analysis and ultra-smooth gain control.
WaveBalance helps compressors, EQs, saturators, tape plugins, and analog-modelled processors behave more predictably by stabilizing the level before the next plugin in the chain. It is designed for vocals, live instruments, bass, imported stems, sample packs, busses, and larger mixing sessions.
Use Ride Mode for continuous real-time level control on dynamic sources, or Analyze & Hold to analyze a section of audio, lock the correction, and continue mixing with fixed gain staging.
Transparent Auto Gain Staging: Keeps tracks at a stable operating level without sounding compressed or artificial.
WaveBalance is available for macOS and Windows in VST3, AU, and AAX plugin formats for $9.99. A 7-day trial is available from the Codwaves website.
