Baby Audio Smooth Operator combines the benefits of Resonance Suppression, Spectral Compression and Equalization into one, smart workflow. It offers a simplistic alternative to a traditional channel strip and is your new best friend when it comes to combating cluttered mixes. Use the plug-in to sculpt your tonal balance while the algorithm automatically eliminates harsh resonances in the background.
FEATURES:
- Global threshold: Pull the middle circle node downwards to increase the over-all effect amount. When the curve is horizontal, Smooth Operator will apply the same effect amount across the entire frequency spectrum
- Change the response curve: Move the 4 nodes on the curve to sculpt your desired frequency response. Preserve frequency areas by moving the nodes up, or go harder on frequency areas by dragging the nodes down. Use your mousewheel or trackpad-scroll to adjust the Q
- Go surgical or go broad: The βFocusβ slider controls how surgically Smooth Operator works. At 100%, each frequency spike is processed independently, while lower focus values will give you a broader response
- Monitor problematic areas in solo: Engage the βSoloβ button to audition different areas of the frequency spectrum separately and identify problematic areas in your track. Then decide how hard Smooth Operator should tackle them
- Use Smooth Operator as an intelligent ducker: If you engage βSide Chainβ mode, you can duck your signal relative to the frequency content of another track in your mix. The side chain input will then determine what frequencies are attenuated, allowing you to create space between two competing tracks in your mix. (Example: Ducking your bass with your kick set as the side chain input)
- Two algorithm modes: Click the βMβ icon to switch between βHigh-Resβ and βClassicβ algorithms. βClassicβ offers lower latency for tracking and production workflows, while βHigh-Resβ offers a cleaner response for mixing and mastering purposes
- Display Options: Switch between black and white background colors. Fully resizable plug-in window
