Waves just made a brand new EQ called Curves AQ. They say it works by itself better than other smart EQs. Most other EQs give you preset curves that you must accept or reject without changing much. This new tool learns from your music and makes five different EQ shapes based on what it hears. These come from your actual sounds - vocals, guitars, drums, or full songs.
The best part? You can still change everything after the computer helps you start. It has five special controls that let you perfect your sound exactly how you want it. The plugin watches your whole mix and changes itself to fit everything together. You pick how much fixed EQ versus moving EQ you need for each sound. The plugin lets you boost parts up or cut parts down separately.
A clever Tilt knob helps balance your overall sound with one move. They even made a zero delay version for live shows or recording without waiting. The Offset button moves the whole curve sideways to change where the EQ works hardest. All these features make mixing faster but still let you keep control of your music.
Waves sells Curves AQ right away for only $49.99 instead of the regular $129.99 price. People who already bought Curves Equator pay $15 less. The company believes this marks the first truly smart EQ that learns your music but still lets you make final decisions. Many producers want help starting their mix but hate it when computers take over completely.
The plugin works best when you first let it analyze your track. Then pick from its five suggested curves. After that, tweak any part until everything sounds perfect. Unlike older tools that only work one way, this EQ adjusts its help based on what your music needs right then. The mix stays clear but still keeps your style intact.
