The “Live” feature is called Dynamic Adaption which enables SEQ3 to automatically adapt its computed smart:filter to the incoming audio over the entire length of a track. This may seem unnecessary, but can be useful to strongly separate two tracks by using the same profile in both tracks, and flipping the strength polarity of one.īut there are a couple big additions that include something previously available only in their smart:EQ Live product and something not available elsewhere in quite the same way. After “learning” a sound, the strength of the correction can be varied using a weighting curve from none (not too useful!) to “100” (full strength), and in the opposite direction to “-100” which inverts the correction curve.

There are profiles for a number of sound types like kick drum, bass, keys, high vocals, and so forth, as well as a “Universal” profile for full mixes or other groups of instruments. And as before there is also a spectrum plot available, of either input or output, or both. As before the correction of these “standard” EQ bands is “added” to the smart:filter curve to adjust the overall EQ to taste. The newly designed smart:filter generates high resolution curves and the standard EQ section now has up to 24 bands (SEQ2 had seven). It has both an “intelligent” self-learning EQ balancing system using its smart:filter mode to “create a natural sounding tonal balance” and a set of very flexible parametric filters that include bell shaped (with Q from 0.0 to 20), high and low shelf, low and high pass, and a “tilt” filter. Smart:EQ 3 (SEQ3) is a “smart EQ”! But smart in many ways.

And now they have upped the ante on EQs with smart:EQ 3. I found it a significantly different and very effective approach compared to other such EQs.

When I first tried out their smart:EQ 2 two years ago I expected another spectral matching plug-in similar to several I already had. Austrian company sonible have created some excellent audio plug-ins that are “different” from most.
