When a band is analyzed, it analyzes the entire spectrum every time. Don’t worry about reanalyzing the band if you want Smart Mode to span more or less of the frequency spectrum. The Q knob now controls how wide the EQ curve spans. The gain can even be applied backwards to take out what Smart Mode suggested. Once Smart Mode is active, the gain behaves like a quasi-wet/dry knob where the more gain is applied, the more of Smart Mode’s EQ curve is applied. Once analyzing is complete, a check box will appear on the node of the band in which Smart mode was selected. The wand will flash and will listen for audio for 15 seconds to analyze the frequency content. All that needs to be done on the user’s end is to pick either Speech (for vocal tracks) or Standard for everything else and a section of the track that has minimal silence and press the wand on a band. This curve is created to balance deficiencies and bring out what the algorithm sees best for the track. When the wand is clicked between the filter and solo buttons, a menu will pop up on the node of the band, waiting for audio to be played in order to analyze the frequency content and create a custom EQ curve.
Smart Mode sits proudly in the middle four bands and serves a very useful and unique purpose. Overall even just as EQ plugins go, Smart:EQ+ is right up there at the top as far as function and presentation, but what sets it apart rests in the “magic wand” icon. Each band has a representative color and Q values and gain can be seen very quickly when making adjustments using the color coded system. The visuals on the interface are great and the layout is superb. Flat will return all gains but will leave all other settings intact and Reset will default the whole plugin. The Clear Solo will remove the solo feature from all bands for quick reference to the whole picture. To the right of the bands are three buttons stacked on each other. Each of the 8 bands have all of the trappings of most EQs with sweep-able frequency, gain, solo and Q, but there are a few other tricks Smart:EQ+ has under its sleeve. In order to make learning their plugin easier, hovering over a feature will pop up a brief description of the use of the feature. The interface is very straight-forward and can even be placed in “blind:flug” mode whereby all graphics are disabled and the user can depend on their ears to make key decisions. The high and low pass filters as well as the shelving bands can also be toggled to bell filters if more are needed on a track.
I can’t stress enough how genius this feature is.Īt its core, Smart:EQ+ is an 8 band linear phase EQ with adjustable “Q” and fully sweep-able filters. For every engineer, this is beyond valuable given the sheer amount of plugins most have in their DAW.

If an update is available for the plugin, the area with the magic wand will display that a new version is available. Another incredible fact that I hope EVERY plugin company sees rests in the bottom right corner of the GUI.

A trial can be utilized for 30 days with no limitations as well. Note: I hear iLok is coming in the near future.

This can be problematic for engineers on the go due to not being able to store the license on USB thumb drives or iLoks but registration is fairly quick and easy. Registration comes via a computer bound license model and can only be installed on two systems. The plugin comes in all of the standard VST, AU, and AAX flavors and installation is a breeze. This EQ uses intelligent algorithms in its “smart” bands to analyze the content of tracks and suggests an EQ curve, more precise and accurate than conventional EQ. There’s no shame in any of that Sonible Smart:EQ+ has you covered. Maybe you’re new to the mixing game and need a little help learning what to look for when EQing tracks.

Maybe you’re a professional in a fast-paced audio environment who needs precision on the go. A track presents itself with problematic frequencies and resonances but no matter how much tweaking is done, just won’t fit in a mix.
