smart:EQ live by Sonible Review

In our Review smart:EQ live by Sonible we are studying at a zero latency equalizer designed for live mixing through a pre-defined set of algorithms. This tool is most successfully used when you work with more giant corporations and organizations to help them with the corporate events in-house or at shows.

Sound

smart:EQ analyzes audio signals and optimizes through the EQ function in real-time.

Using it, you can trigger smart:EQ’s training mode. In this mode, the tools analyze the audio signal and apply an EQ curve that based on algorithms shapes the sound better.

The workflow is that you use the plugin to an input “live” track and let it learn the audio signal, make some adjustments and let the EQ do its magic. You can also use the plugin as a standard EQ tool. It does shine when used live as designed.

During my test and using the plugin as a vital tool I found that the results always sounded excellent. The EQ works great on speeches which would be the main used when used for enterprise events. Additionally, the compressor and limiter are very effective at controlling the dynamic range of the audio, ensuring a consistently smooth sound. Overall, the kilohearts kHs toolbox review is overwhelmingly positive, and I would highly recommend it to anyone in need of professional audio processing tools for their events or projects.
