Collective Intelligence – Using The Smart Filter & Content Aware Profiles

The smart:filter

The heart of “smart:EQ 2” is its smart:filter section. The smart:filter learns which areas of the frequency spectrum need attention and automatically suggests a filter curve (the smart:response) to compensate for possible spectral imbalances.

LEARNING A SMART:RESPONSE

To use the smart:filter, the plugin has to learn the smart:response by performing the following steps:

  1. Select A Profile (optional) – A profile primes the learning process of the smart:filter towards particular sound sources.
  2. Enable The smart:filter – Click the on/off symbol right to the green record button to enable the smart:filter.
  3. Start The Audio Playback – The filter needs incoming audio material for the learning process.
  4. Start Learning – Click the green record button. Now, a pulsating pause icon indicates that the smart:filter is actively learning.
  5. Adapt The Computed smart:response – You can control the impact of a computed smart:response by modifying the green weighting curve.

Content Aware Profiles

“smart:EQ 2” includes new profiles for content-aware audio processing. Choose the profile for the sound source you are working with, the smart:filter will adapt to the characteristics of the signal.

Edit, create, save and share your own custom made profiles. Build your personal library and transfer profiles to your friends and partners. smart:EQ 2 becomes a tool tailored to your personal mixing style.

FACTORY PROFILES

In close cooperation with international producers and sound engineers, Sonible has developed a list of factory profiles and tested them in various production environments. A factory profile is a perfect starting point if you’re working with a certain instrument or sound source, and includes the following presets:

  • Kickdrum, Snaredrum, Hi-Hat, Low Tom, Mid Tom, High Tom
  • Acoustic Guitar, E-Guitar, Distorted Guitar, Bass Guitar
  • Violin, Viola, Cello, Contrabass
  • Trumpet, Trombone
  • Clarinet, Saxophone
  • Piano

CUSTOM PROFILES

If a smart:response computed based on a certain profile does not perfectly fit to your needs, you can easily generate new custom profiles and use them for future learning processes.

Let’s say you like the result of a certain profile, but you want more heights. No problem! Adjust the computed smart:response using classical filters. Once you are satisfied with the result, save the changes to a new profile.

Next time you are working with the same instrument, simply select your custom profile and “smart:EQ 2” will optimize the result according to your modifications. That way, “smart:EQ 2” is able to adapt to your personal taste!

In short, I was surprised at most of the results I obtained using smart:filter.In every case I was impressed - at the least, smart:EQ 2 provided results similar to my mix, with any difference being a matter of taste, but on a number of them, smart:EQ 2 really “opened up” the mix better than my original efforts. Embarrassing, but true!"
