Description

Everyone is trying to create a ‘smart’ EQ, but none use truly generative technology. Often they apply a ‘take-it or leave-it’ preset curve and don’t let you under the hood.

That’s why we created Curves AQ – the world’s first autonomous EQ. AQ learns your audio, decides what sound it should have and creates 5 unique EQ profiles you can choose from. These are not presets – but original spectral curves based on the natural qualities of your audio, be it vocals, instruments or full mixes.

And beyond AI tools that either hit or miss the mark, AQ has 5 powerfully reimagined EQ controls to personalize & perfect your sound.

Spectral Targeting Technology

The white curve you see is your sound destination – we call this the “Spectral Target” – and you get a choice of 5 targets.

Adjusting the Spectral Target feels like a regular EQ, but you’re actually adjusting the EQ’s destination – and the processing adapts to get you there.

Boosting & Cutting

The blue (cuts) & red (boosts) represent the actual processing AQ does to bring your sound to the Spectral Target.

You can adjust the amount of boosting and cutting you want, both globally & per band.

Static & Dynamic EQ

Some tracks need the tightness of static EQ, others require the adaptiveness of dynamic EQ.

You can adjust AQ to work completely dynamically, statically, or with any combination.

Smart Tilt

This isn’t a regular tilt EQ. This is a powerful tilt that lets you adjust the overall shape of the spectral target.

The processing follows with powerful yet adaptive tonal adjustments.

Offset

Offset lets you shift the target curve along the X-axis and adjust where the fundamental frequency sits.

It shifts the curve & harmonics to scale and can offer a wildly creative effect.

4 Frequency Anchors

With each instruments “Learn”, the Neural Network creates 4 anchors tailored to the frequency spectrum of your track.

This gives you a simple way to adjust the low end, fundamental, harmonics & air of your source.

MixSense, EQ in Context

Never EQ in solo. With MixSense, the plugin resolves conflicting frequencies between tracks in the mix.

Feed any tracks through sidechain, and AQ will adjust its processing to make room for them in the mix.

Autonomous Adaptive EQ

AQ works dynamically out of the box to balance frequencies using a flat spectral target.

Adjust the amount of processing with the main knob.

Curves AQ LIVE

Curves AQ includes a live, zero-latency version of the same plugin.
