{"product_id":"sonible-smart-eq-4-398778","title":"smart:EQ 4","description":"\u003ch3\u003eWhat smart:EQ 4 Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003esmart:EQ 4 is an \u003cstrong\u003eintelligent equalization plugin\u003c\/strong\u003e designed to speed up mixing decisions while maintaining precise control. It is used to correct spectral imbalances (overloaded bass, muddy mids, harsh highs), stabilize a source over time, and achieve a more \"finished\" tone without spending hours on corrective EQ.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts strength lies in offering a dual approach: working \u003cstrong\u003etrack by track\u003c\/strong\u003e (vocals, guitar, bass, synth, drums, dialogue) or adopting a \u003cstrong\u003eglobal mix perspective\u003c\/strong\u003e by coordinating multiple instances. This is especially useful when several elements mask each other (kick\/bass, vocals\/synths, guitars\/pianos), or when you need to maintain spectral balance coherence on buses (drums, instruments, backing vocals) and on the master.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you produce pop, hip-hop, electronic, rock, film music, or podcasts, smart:EQ 4 helps you achieve a clearer, more readable, and modern sound faster, while preserving the personality of the recording or sound design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMain Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003esmart:filter: Spectral Balance Driven by Analysis\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of smart:EQ 4, the \u003cstrong\u003esmart:filter\u003c\/strong\u003e technology aims for a smoother and more musical frequency balance. It can be applied on a track, bus, or even an entire mix to establish a solid foundation before adding color with other treatments (saturation, compression, reverb, etc.). The idea is not to \"standardize\" your sound but to quickly reduce what hinders clarity, leaving you to decide the character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe processing offers selectable modes to adapt to the context: \u003cstrong\u003eTrack\u003c\/strong\u003e (local correction), \u003cstrong\u003eGroup\u003c\/strong\u003e (group logic), or \u003cstrong\u003eTrack \u0026amp; Group\u003c\/strong\u003e (combination). This flexibility allows using smart:EQ 4 both as a corrective tool on a vocal and as a coherence tool on a set of instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInter-instance Spectral Mixing: Hierarchy and \"Unmasking\" via Drag and Drop\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003esmart:EQ 4 stands out with \u003cstrong\u003ecross-channel processing\u003c\/strong\u003e between instances. Concretely, you can create a group and organize up to \u003cstrong\u003eten tracks\u003c\/strong\u003e in a spectral space hierarchy. The \u003cstrong\u003eGroup View\u003c\/strong\u003e and drag and drop make setup quick: you define which elements should stay in the foreground and which should slightly recede in certain frequency areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis approach is powerful for clarifying a dense mix: the vocal takes its place without over-EQ, guitars breathe around the lead, synths allow transients to pass, and the low end stabilizes with fewer conflicts. The result is a sense of separation and depth, often usually achieved at the cost of multiple automations and surgical EQs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eRemote Control: Managing Multiple Tracks from a Single Instance\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithin the same group, smart:EQ 4 offers genuine \u003cstrong\u003e\"remote control\"\u003c\/strong\u003e: you can adjust the EQ of multiple tracks from any instance in the group. This is a significant time saver in real situations, for example when you want to tweak the kick\/bass relationship, the clarity of backing vocals, or the coherence of an instrument bus without switching between windows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIntelligent Profiles: Instruments, Vocals, Speech, and Genre-based Mixes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eProfiles\u003c\/strong\u003e library covers practical uses: instruments and vocals on individual tracks, as well as \"mix\"-oriented profiles based on genres to provide a more global \u003cstrong\u003espectral polish\u003c\/strong\u003e. These profiles help you start quickly, stay consistent on a project, and find a sonic direction without multiplying trials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCustom Profile via Reference Track\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo target a specific aesthetic, smart:EQ 4 allows creating \u003cstrong\u003ecustom profiles\u003c\/strong\u003e from a \u003cstrong\u003ereference track\u003c\/strong\u003e. You import a piece whose balance you like, and the plugin generates a profile to emulate its \u003cstrong\u003espectral signature\u003c\/strong\u003e and balance on a track or bus. This is particularly relevant for bringing a vocal closer to a genre standard, homogenizing multiple takes, or giving the master a coherent tonal direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDynamic Filters and Finishing Functions\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeyond intelligence, smart:EQ 4 remains a complete equalizer: standard filters can become \u003cstrong\u003edynamic\u003c\/strong\u003e with dedicated settings for \u003cstrong\u003eThreshold\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eRatio\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eAttack\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eRelease\u003c\/strong\u003e. This allows controlling an intrusive low mid only when it appears, taming occasional sibilance, or softening a resonance without degrading the continuous take.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor smooth daily use, the plugin also includes \u003cstrong\u003eAuto Gain\u003c\/strong\u003e to compare before\/after more objectively, full \u003cstrong\u003eM\/S processing\u003c\/strong\u003e to sculpt width and center, as well as \u003cstrong\u003esmart states\u003c\/strong\u003e to navigate between different behaviors and settings depending on the production context.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eFull software\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDownloadable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMac\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eOS X (Apple Silicon support: native)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMemory (Mac)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e4 GB\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWindows\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eWindows\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMemory (Windows)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e4 GB\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003esmart:filter technology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003espectral balance on tracks, buses, and mixes, with intelligent cross-channel processing between instances\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpectral mixing via drag and drop\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eGroup view and unmasking hierarchy up to 10 tracks\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRemote control of EQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003emanaging multiple tracks from any instance within the same group\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWide selection of profiles\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003einstruments, vocals, speech, and genre-based mixes\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDynamic controls for filters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eThreshold, Ratio, Attack, Release\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003esmart:filter processing modes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eTrack, Group, Track \u0026amp; Group\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sonible","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54357388296467,"sku":"398778","price":77.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/1c90de320239f71189fc8e28aa6a4bc80aacbacd_SONIBLE_1143401.jpg?v=1788285899","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/sonible-smart-eq-4-398778","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
