Waves Audio has announced the release of a smart resonance suppression and frequency unmasking plugin. Curves Equator is designed to immediately improve any full mix, vocal, instrument or sample by removing all the problematic frequencies, fixing resonances and balancing inconsistencies.

More importantly, it learns your content & safeguards your work, offering a personalized resonance suppression curve to avoid overprocessing. It can even learn the curve of a competing part via sidechain and apply an inverse suppression curve on the source you’re mixing, dynamically. It’s the fastest way to unmask tracks and pull the blanket off your mix.

The first plugin in the Waves’ new Curves Spectral Series, Equator is useful for everyone, solving problems on almost any source. Its intuitive GUI and user-friendly design make it extremely usable for amateurs, while its quick access to advanced controls will assist professionals in achieving perfect results.

Curves Equator features

  • Immediate fixes on any source: Resolves resonances, muddiness, harshness, imbalance, and tonal inconsistencies in any audio source.
  • “Learn” Feature for Personalized Suppression Curve: Equator learns your content to create a custom suppression curve, unlike competitors that use a one-size-fits-all approach.
  • Frequency Unmasking via Sidechain: Equator’s sidechain learning feature allows it to create a custom suppression curve for the insert track based on the sidechain source, carving perfect space in the mix for both parts either statically or dynamically.
  • Linear Phase Curves: Delivers transparent results without phasing artifacts, maintaining natural sound energy.
  • Efficient and User-Friendly: Faster to use and easier to navigate.
  • Comprehensive Control: Includes shape and tonal control, auto makeup gain, limiter, crossovers, nodes and more for all-in-one tonal shaping and problem-solving.

Curves Equator is available to purchase for the intro price of $39.99 USD for a limited time (regular $79 USD). The plugin is also included for Waves Ultimate subscribers at no extra charge.
