Zynaptiq Balance
Smart Equalizer Plugin
Balance is very easy to use - you set the target EQ curve that your audio should be conformed to, using just four controls, then adjust the global EQ amount to taste...done.
High and low-cut filters, as well as gain compensation that scales with EQ amount, can be used to fine-tune the result even further.
As Balance's presets don't contain any specific EQ settings per se, but rather the information what EQ curve the result should have, you can build a library of profiles that fit your workflows and sound library perfectly.
Inserting Balance across your mixer with the default settings may actually be all you need to do in many cases.
Performance Galore
Built using Zynaptiq's proprietary minimum phase filters, Balance introduces just 3 samples of latency, while using very little CPU.
It sounds glorious, of course, and free of any pre-ringing that linear phase designs would introduce.
On a modern computer, you can literally run hundreds of channels, making Balance a great choice for inclusion in your default session.
The plug-in features a Metal/Direct 3D accelerated analyzer to keep your CPU focused on audio, while the GPU does the drawing.
The analyzer can of course be hidden to save screen real-estate and system resources, too - just switch to the compact EASY view.
