Curves Equator is a smarter resonance suppression plugin that immediately improves any full mix, vocal, instrument, or sample by removing problematic frequencies, fixing resonances, and balancing inconsistencies. It can also learn your content and safeguard your work with a personalized suppression curve to avoid overprocessing. Equator offers groundbreaking frequency unmasking by learning the sidechain of a clashing source and dynamically applying the inverse curve on the part you’re mixing. As the first in the new Curves Spectral Series, Equator pioneers the evolution of EQ, with two more Curves plugins set to be available in early 2025 – welcome to your first self-driving EQs!

• Fix the Bad Stuff: Most audio sources contain inherent issues that may be masked by your listening environment or other elements in a mix. Equator is designed to address these hidden problems. Simply lower the Equator line, and you’ll instantly perceive a clearer, more open mix.
• Safeguard the Good Stuff: Unlike generic processing solutions that might inadvertently compromise your unique sound, Equator’s ‘Learn’ feature analyzes your audio to create a personalized suppression curve. This tailored approach protects against anomalies and imbalances, ensuring that your sound remains pristine and free from overprocessing. A helpful tip: Use the ‘Learn’ function to capture a healthy portion of your audio as a template, and Equator will then process the rest of the signal to match it.
• Everything in its Right Place: Leveraging sidechain ‘Learning’ capabilities, Equator can achieve remarkable results in your mix by preventing sources from clashing in the same frequency ranges. For instance, if vocals are paramount, you can ‘SC Learn’ the vocal curve and apply its inverse shape to the instrument bus, carving out a perfect space for both. Remember, when utilizing the Rider feature for dynamic carving, the louder the sidechain audio, the more pronounced the carving effect will be.
• Choose Your Flavor of Balanced: While some audio problems are objectively addressed, tonal balance can be subjective. Equator provides Shape & Tilt controls, allowing you to fine-tune the processing target to match your personal taste and achieve your desired sonic balance.
• Same Energy, Better Sound: Traditional resonance suppression methods using regular or dynamic EQ can sometimes drain the life from your mix by overprocessing problem areas. Equator features a unique Dynamic Auto Makeup Gain, which intelligently matches the input RMS by boosting the volume of the frequencies you don’t attenuate. This ensures that your mix retains its energy and vibrancy, with the option to toggle this feature on or off.
• Advanced Control: Beneath its intuitive interface, Equator offers a wealth of additional features, including 4 customizable processing bands, 8 nodes, and a host of parameters for precise tweaking, providing comprehensive control over your sound.
