Introducing clarity on demand.

Smooth Operator combines equalization, spectral compression and resonance suppression into a singular creative experience that's instant and intuitive. Use it to perfect your tonal balance and add a touch of 'HiFi'.

Our spectral detection algorithm adapts to your audio 44,100 times per second and automatically eliminates fatigued frequencies. This gives you full control to shape your signal and bring out more definition.

Highlights:

  • Brings out clarity and smoothness across instruments, vocals and mix busses.
  • Allows for creative tone shaping without artifacts or harsh resonances.
  • Intelligent algorithm that automatically detects and resolves fatigued frequencies.
  • An alternative to EQ, compression and resonance suppression in one unified workflow.

What is Spectral Processing?

The easiest way to understand Spectral Processing is to think of it as manipulating the building blocks that make up a digital signal – rather than the actual signal. Our algorithm uses Fast Fourier Transform - or FFT - to break the incoming audio into tiny particles, which are analyzed and processed separately, before being put back together again. This all happens in realtime and allows for a much more surgical approach to resonance detection and rebalancing than what would be possible with traditional audio effects.

While most spectral tools focus on audio restoration, we wanted Smooth Operator to be all about creative expression. The plugin is meant for shaping your tone. Use it to compress, EQ and 'purify' in one simple process – and know that Smooth Operator has your back when it comes to automatically eliminating artifacts.

Excellent sound sculpting tool. I treat it like a channel-strip that typically have both Eq and compression. The results are extremely transparent when set appropriately. Nothing like it. Oek Soothe meets Gulfoss and slays Ozone 10's Stabilizer.
