Waves new Curves Equator || Walkthrough - How to use - First impression || A smart problem solver?

Waves Curves Equator is a powerful tool to make mixing easier. The GUI is optimized for simplicity and is therefore easy to use. The advanced controls allow you to customize the settings to your own preferences. In this video I demonstrate the plugin in action. Does it fulfill your expectations?

Plugin Overview:

Curves Equator is a smarter resonance suppression and frequency unmasking plugin. It immediately improves 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. (This is Waves’ Soothe-killer.) 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.  

Quite simply, Equator puts everything in its right place.  

Unique 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.
