Equalization

Surgical control, musical results.

Smooth Operator Pro splits your signal into thousands of dynamic bands — so you can fix a single ringing resonance with surgical precision, or reshape a track's entire tonal balance. All in real time, with fewer artifacts than traditional tools.

Clean in one knob

Set a target curve, turn the global threshold, and problem frequencies melt away — instantly.

Surgical resonance control

Thousands of dynamic bands fix the narrowest resonance without touching the rest of the mix.

Global or per-node

Override the global settings for any node — a different dynamic profile across the spectrum.

Even & Skew correction

Two correction algorithms, plus full control over every dynamic and imaging parameter.

Overview

Clarity, on autopilot.

Smooth Operator Pro works in the spectral domain: it breaks your signal into its individual frequency partials and reins in only the ones that get out of hand. That clears mud, harshness and masking without dulling the tone the way a static EQ would. Per-node overrides, L/R and M/S imaging, low-end shelving and a sidechain mode make it as surgical or as broad as the mix needs, and 184 presets from Grammy-winning engineers get you there fast.

Highlights

Dynamic resonance suppression that acts only on frequencies crossing the threshold

Works on the signal's frequency partials, not level like an EQ or dynamics like a compressor

Resonance Suppression 2.0 with per-node overrides for surgical or full-spectrum control

Per-node stereo imaging: adjust harmonics in L/R or M/S independently

Sidechain mode rebalances a track against another track's frequency profile

Low-end shelving filters to carve and control the bass region

Linear-phase processing for clean, artifact-free results

184 presets from Grammy-winning engineers (Craig Bauer, Max Jaeger, Preston Reid and more)
