AI-powered parameterization for safe limiting.

Speed up your workflow with smart:limit. Its smart processing analyzes your signal and finds limiting parameters that allow your mix to breathe, all in just a few seconds. By choosing a genre-based profile that suits your mix, you can prepare the plugin for different limiting characteristics. Or, instead, load a reference track, if you are looking for a specific limiting style. You can use smart:limit with or without automatic parameterization, or choose a combination of both.

Everything under control in real time

Expand the sonority Monitoring section to access an extensive information center on sonority and dynamics: here you will find all relevant sonority readings, visual guidance on different release goals and information on the dynamics of your track. With the revolutionary Instant impact prediction feature, you will not have to restart the volume measurements every time you change a parameter: the change will be reflected in real time without having to repeatedly play back the entire input signal.

Monitor all relevant key metrics at a glance :

• Sonority [LUFS] - integrated, short-term, momentary
• Sonority range [LU]: integrated, short-term, momentary Dynamics [dB]: based on the peak-to-sonority ratio
• True Peak [dbTP]: use of high-resolution oversampling
• Gain reduction [dB]

The ambience is in the details

Shape your sound to perfection.

When your sound needs a little extra vibration, smart:limit has you covered. Use the style dial to freely choose between a soft or strong limiting style. Play with saturation to add a little subtle warmth or to really pump up your signal. Adjust the balance to give your track that perfect spectral polish before release and modify the bass control to get a rich and compact low end.

The smart equalizer plugin

smart:EQ 3 improves the details, clarity and transparency on individual tracks and in arrangements of up to six channels. Set the spectral balance in your sound in a few seconds.

• Smart cross-channel processing
• AI filter to automatically correct tonal imbalances
• NEW: dynamic adaptation, minimum phase mode, filter widgets

Features

High-resolution precision with just the press of a button

Achieve spectral balance with smart:EQ 3 in a matter of seconds, whether you are working on a single track or a mix. The AI-powered equalizer will remove unpleasant resonances and unwanted notches, leaving you with a well-balanced sound and, therefore, an ideal foundation to take other creative steps.

Spectral mixing by dragging and dropping

Smart cross-channel processing will help you in your quest to create a transparent arrangement of up to six channels in which each track plays exactly the role you want. By analyzing the spectral information of all the channels you have added to your group, the algorithms ensure that each track gets its assigned space within your mix. You just have to determine the sonic hierarchy according to your vision. It is as simple as that.

Redesigned profiles and a smart split filter

Adapt the impact of smart:EQ 3's AI-powered processing to your liking: in the EQ view, you can select the frequency ranges that should be affected, change the shape of the calculated smart:filter green weighting curve and define the duration of the learning process. In the group view, you can control the level of impact that smart cross-channel processing has on your tracks.

You can have it all: enjoy the incredible capabilities of the smart algorithms and keep control.

Filter widgets, spectral mixing by dragging and dropping, multichannel analyzer

Sonible has designed the elegant and intuitive interface of smart:EQ 3 and the user-focused features so that every move counts: modify your audio material efficiently using the filter widgets, create a sonic hierarchy by dragging and dropping your tracks in the group view and choose which tracks of your mix you want to monitor simultaneously with the full analyzer. And there is much more: explore everything smart:EQ 3 has to offer.

Source-adaptive reverb

Reverb that really fits, powered by AI

With just one click, smart:reverb quickly analyzes the source material to create each reverb from scratch. By adapting the reverb to the spectral and temporal characteristics of the input signal, typical problems such as disturbing resonances or muddy reverb tails are avoided from the beginning.

The sonible smart:engine, a content-aware system based on artificial intelligence designed on the basis of psychoacoustic principles, as well as extensive practical mixing experience, drives the internal operation of smart:reverb. Just like smart:comp and smart:EQ 3, this smart plugin comes equipped with profiles for different audio sources to prepare the smart:engine processing for the input signal.

Explore features, not presets

smart:reverb creates a reverb based on the source signal instead of working with preset settings or pre-recorded impulse responses. To find the reverb style you imagine, navigate through its reverb matrix, in which all possibilities fit your input signal. Guided by descriptive properties, you will find what you are looking for, intuitively and efficiently.

Keep control

For maximum control, smart:reverb offers you an interactive view of the anatomy of reverb. Its detailed interface makes it easy to manipulate the deep structure of the reverb by modifying its time- and frequency-dependent decay rate, as well as the evolution of the spread or the density of the reverb over time.

smart:reverb is a hybrid plugin that combines the flexibility of a fully parameterizable reverb with the transparency and sonic integrity of convolution reverbs. The audio plugin offers options to change the reverb time and pre-delay, expand the reverb width, increase its clarity and change the color. In addition, smart:reverb contains sound layering features for sound design.
